Sounds of Soil: A New World of Interactions under Our Feet? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Soils are biodiversity-dense and constantly carry chemical flows of information, with our mental image of soil being dark and quiet. But what if soil biota tap sound, or more generally, vibrations as a source of information?

Fungal Traits Important for Soil Aggregation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Soil structure, the complex arrangement of soil into aggregates and pore spaces, is a key feature of soils and soil biota. Among them, filamentous saprobic fungi have well-documented effects on soil aggregation. However, it is unclear what properties, or

Emerging contaminants in biota [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2012
The determination of emerging contaminants in biota is a difficult task and a major analytical challenge because of both the complexity of biological matrices, for example algae, fish, shellfish, mammals, or eggs, and the low parts per trillion levels at which the target compounds are present.

The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...

‘Should’ and ‘can’ active restoration be used in biodiversity offsets? Stakeholder perspectives from New South Wales, Australia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite their controversial nature, biodiversity offsets are often used as a regulatory tool to counterbalance the impacts of land clearing on biodiversity. Offsets usually aim to achieve no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity through protection and/or restoration of habitat.

Modeling of the distribution of 137Cs radionuclide in the Didoriv’s ponds cascade

open access: yesЯдерна фізика та енергетика, 2016
Basic model of 137Cs radionuclide transfer in the Didoriv’s ponds cascade was created. Monitoring studies of cascade was conducted. On the basis of the field observation data, dynamics of the basic model holding in different chambers and system ...

Biotechnology, environmental forcing, and unintended trophic cascades [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A long ongoing discussion between scientists and policy decision-makers seems to have entered recently into a new phase. The consequences of release of transgenic crops into the environment are being discussed not only by scientists but also by farmers ...

Soil biota contributions to soil aggregation

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution, 2017
Humankind depends on the sustainability of soils for its survival and well-being. Threatened by a rapidly changing world, our soils suffer from degradation and biodiversity loss, making it increasingly important to understand the role of soil ...

Fluorinated precursor compounds in sediments as a source of Perfluorinated Alkyl Acids (PFAA) to biota.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2020
The environmental behaviour of perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAA) and their precursors was investigated in lake Tyrifjorden, downstream a factory producing paper products coated with per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS).
