Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Growth, Photosynthesis, and Nutritional Composition of Maize (Zea mays L.)

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Microplastic (MP) contamination in agroecosystems is an increasingly recognized environmental concern, whereas its polymer‐specific impacts on plant growth and nutritional composition remain poorly understood. Aim Our study aimed to evaluate how polymer type and concentration of MPs directly affect plant growth, physiological traits,

Perspectives of High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry in Soil Science

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil biogeochemical research requires specific, sensitive, and accurate methods to identify and quantify organic molecules in order to trace biochemical processes and assess element cycling in complex, heterogenous systems. High‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has evolved into a transformative tool for unraveling the complex chemical ...

Responses of primary producers, anoxia, and chemical feedback to Late Glacial climate change: Insights from a paired lake approach

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide, lacustrine ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication and deoxygenation. Both processes are driven by the combined effects of human activities and climate change. Understanding the pre‐anthropogenic nexus between warming, eutrophication, deoxygenation, and related feedback is essential to determine how lakes respond to rapid ...

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

Cost of Living Indexes and Exact Index Numbers [PDF]

open access: yes
The paper reviews and extends the theory of exact and superlative index numbers. Exact index numbers are empirical index number formula that are equal to an underlying theoretical index, provided that the consumer has preferences that can be represented ...

White and whole wheat flour breads: composition and simultaneous exposure to group B trichothecenes

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The study aimed to determine the profile of group B trichothecenes (TCTBs), to estimate the daily exposure to them and to evaluate the relationship with the composition of different types of sliced wheat bread. A method for simultaneous determination of the TCTBs (deoxynivalenol (DON), 3‐acetyl‐deoxynivalenol, 15‐acetyl ...
