Impact of short-term storage on the quantity of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase–producing Escherichia coli in broiler litter under practical conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Applying broiler litter containing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)–producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) to arable land poses a potential risk for humans to get colonized by contact with contaminated soil or vegetables.

Evidence for the primacy of living root inputs, not root or shoot litter, in forming soil organic carbon.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2018
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is primarily formed from plant inputs, but the relative carbon (C) contributions from living root inputs (i.e. rhizodeposits) vs litter inputs (i.e. root + shoot litter) are poorly understood.

Investigating Detection of Floating Plastic Litter from Space Using Sentinel-2 Imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Plastic litter floating in the ocean is a significant problem on a global scale. This study examines whether Sentinel-2 satellite images can be used to identify plastic litter on the sea surface for monitoring, collection and disposal.

IMPACT OF EARTHWORMS OF DIFFERENT MORPHO-ECOLOGICAL GROUPS ON CARBON ACCUMULATION IN FOREST SOILS

open access: yesВопросы лесной науки, 2021
To date, forest ecology has not made any clear conclusions regarding the impact of large saprophagous invertebrates such as earthworms on soil carbon dynamics. Some authors claim that earthworm activities result in decreased carbon accumulation.

Dry weight loss in leaves of dominant species in a successional sequence of the Mesopotamian Espinal (Argentina)

open access: yesForest Systems, 2018
Aim of study: To compare litter decomposition dynamics among different species within a single forest type and also between a single species in different forest successional stages. Area of study: Different forests of a known successional sequence of the

Effect of different litter materials on foot pad dermatitis, hock burn and feather coverage in broiler chickens

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Slovenica, 2015
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the feather coverage on breast and thighs in meat type chickens, reared on three different types of litter materials, including wood shavings, shredded paper and chopped wheat straw.

Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Plant litter represents a major basal resource in streams, where its decomposition is partly regulated by litter traits. Litter-trait variation may determine the latitudinal gradient in decomposition in streams, which is mainly microbial in the tropics ...

Floating debris dynamics in a tidal strait: transport and retention in Sundklakkstraumen, Lofoten

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Understanding the transport and retention of floating plastic debris in fjords and coastal systems is essential for targeted mitigation strategies. This study investigates surface transport dynamics in Storvika and Sundklakkstraumen, a tidally energetic ...

UVC-enhanced oxidation of As(III) at neutral pH using zerovalent iron nanoparticles

open access: yesAcademia Nano
The presence of arsenic in water for human consumption is a dramatic problem that causes serious health problems. Inorganic As species (As(III) or As(V)) are the most common and toxic forms, of which As(III) is the most harmful, mobile and ...
