Statistical design approach enables optimised mechanical lysis for enhanced long-read soil metagenomics

open access: yesScientific Reports
Metagenomic analysis has enabled insights into soil community structure and dynamics. Long-read sequencing for metagenomics can enhance microbial ecology by improving taxonomic classification, genome assembly, and functional annotation.

Spatiotemporal Correlations and Drivers of Ecosystem Services and Functional Dynamics in Arid Regions

open access: yesEcosystem Health and Sustainability
Climate stress is intensifying in many dryland regions, altering the balance between ecosystem services (ESs) and ecohydrological functioning. Here, we present an integrated framework to assess these changes, combining 4 ESs—water yield, carbon storage ...

Organic for the future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Organic research and innovation moves the organic food sector from a niche to a general reference model for sustainable agriculture. Europe faces major challenges to conserve biodiversity, secure soil, and promote animal welfare and there is an urgent

A Reusable Polymeric Sensor Based on Green‐Synthesized CQDs@ZIF‐8 for the Rapid Detection of Nitro‐Explosive Picric Acid

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study presents the rational design and synthesis of a highly luminescent polymeric nanocomposite. Initially, highly fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method using citric acid and β‐alanine as precursors, followed by rigorous purification through centrifugation and filtration.

Plant Microbiomes: Do Different Preservation Approaches and Primer Sets Alter Our Capacity to Assess Microbial Diversity and Community Composition?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The microbial communities associated with plants (the plant microbiome) play critical roles in regulating plant health and productivity. Because of this, in recent years, there have been significant increase in studies targeting the plant microbiome ...

The challenge of ecological justice in a globalising world [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Ecological justice is a challenging concept in relation to the current development of agriculture, including organic agriculture, because it positions social and ecological interests against market liberalism and economic growth.

Particular aspects of geo-ecologic assessment in geo-eco-socio-economic approach to the development of northern territories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In today’s context, the preservation of territory’s ecosystem, when it becomes involved in the economic turnover, requires preemptive geo-ecological assessment aimed at identifying the extent of its sustainability to expected anthropogenic impact.

Integration of soil hydraulic characteristics derived from pedotransfer functions into hydrological models: evaluation of its effects on simulation uncertainty [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology Research, 2016
Aimed at reducing simulation uncertainty of hydrological models in data-sparse basins where soil hydraulic data are unavailable, a method of estimating soil water parameters of soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) from readily available soil information using pedotransfer functions was introduced.

Nanozymes at the Bio‐Nano Interface: From Synthesis, Defect Engineering, Catalytic Behavior in Biological Microenvironments, and Biosafety Implications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Nanozymes (NZs) have emerged as versatile artificial enzymes with tunable catalytic properties driven by atomic coordination, defect engineering, and surface chemistry. This review presents a bio–nano interface framework linking synthesis strategies, structural design, and catalytic behavior within complex biological microenvironments.
