ECONOMIC RETURNS FROM REDUCING POULTRY LITTER PHOSPHORUS WITH MICROBIAL PHYTASE

Requiring that crop applications of manure be based on phosphorus content (P-standard) could increase poultry litter disposal costs. Microbial phytase reduces litter P content and could reduce litter disposal costs under a P-standard.

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps

Ecography, EarlyView.
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

By‐product of heparin extraction as a sustainable alternative to enhance the use of nitrogen in agriculture

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the potential of a new organic fertilizer derived from porcine intestinal mucosa (designated BHE), a by‐product of the heparin extraction process, as a sustainable nitrogen (N) source for agriculture. The work was conducted in two stages: (i) chemical and spectroscopic characterization of BHE compared with poultry litter ...

Litter quality and decomposer complexity co-drive effect of drought on decomposition

Forest Ecosystems
Litter decomposition is key to ecosystem carbon (C) and nutrient cycling, but this process is anticipated to weaken due to projected more extensive and prolonged drought.

The impact of decomposer size classes and litter quality on litter decomposition in food forests

Agroforestry Systems
Abstract Food forests are perennial, multi-layered food production systems gaining popularity as alternatives to intensive, input-dependent agriculture. With limited use of external inputs, these systems rely on nutrient recycling via litter decomposition for plant nutrient supply.

Cardiac remodeling and arrhythmia in a mouse model of Depdc5 haploinsufficiency

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Some ion channel genes linked to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) are also linked to cardiac arrhythmia, leading to the hypothesis that predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias may contribute to the complex disease presentation of DEE and possibly to the mechanism of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy.
