Root-induced decrease in metal binding capacity of dissolved organic matters in the rhizosphere: evidences from two convergent studies : S10.01b -1 [PDF]
, 2012 The parallel understanding of dissolved organic matters (DOM) impact on trace metal speciation in soil and root ability to change DOM concentration and composition in the rhizosphere strongly suggests a substantial alteration of metal binding capacity of

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, biochar has been studied for its range of applications. Recognized by the IPCC as a key Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) strategy, it also stands out as an important tool for reclaiming degraded lands, including vast global areas affected by salinity, such as those in China, India, and Australia.

Cold EI—The Way to Improve GC‐MS and Increase Its Range of Applications
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with Cold electron ionization (EI) is based on interfacing the GC and MS with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in the SMB in a contact‐free fly‐through ion source (hence the name Cold EI).

Removal of Sea Lettuce, Ulva spp., in Estuaries to Improve the Environments for Invertebrates, Fish, Wading Birds, and Eelgrass, Zostera marina [PDF]
, 2005 Mats (biomasses) of macroalgae, i.e. Ulva spp., Enteromorpha spp., Graciolaria spp., and Cladophora spp., have increased markedly over the past 50 years, and they cover much larger areas than they once did in many estuaries of the world.

Persistent, symptomless, systemic, and seed-borne infection of lettuce by Botrytis cinerea [PDF]
, 2010 Experiments are presented which show that Botrytis cinerea, the cause of gray mould disease, is often present in symptomless lettuce plants as a systemic, endophytic, infection which may arise from seed.

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.
