This study examines if plant functional diversity dilutes plant virus prevalence in grass hosts and evaluates how virus prevalence influences net community and host production. Functional diversity did not mitigate or amplify virus prevalence. While we found that species relationships between virus prevalence and production varied, overall, virus ...

Can the physical‐hydraulic properties of degraded soil be improved using polymers?
Abstract For a degraded soil it is assumed that improvements in key physical‐hydraulic properties occur at an optimum superabsorbent polymer (SAP) application rate, following repeated wetting and drying cycles. A column experiment was carried out in a shade house (Ceará State, Brazil), following a completely randomized design, in a 6 × 4 factorial ...

Plant‐based meat analogues marketed in Catalonia: evaluation of the nutritional profile
Abstract In later years, a growing trend is apparent of vegetarian or vegan diets attributable to a number of causes, among of others, consumers’ concern for animal welfare, climate change and, to a lesser degree, for health‐related issues. On a par to this growth, availability of meat analogues in the market has also been on the rise. In this context,

Abstract The latest barometer of food safety in Catalonia conducted by the Catalan Food Safety Agency (ACSA for its initials in Catalan) in 2021 shows that 28.7% of the population consumes meat analogues (substitutes). The main reasons for consuming this type of food are animal welfare, followed by environmental and health reasons.
