Soil biological quality in short- and long-term field trials with conventional and organic fertility input types [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Soils of the DOK trial and three other field trials with manure input were analysed for effects on soil biology. While long-term effects indicate a new steady state at the DOK trial site, differences at the other field trials suggest that fresh manure at

Decline of phosphorus, copper, and zinc in anaerobic swine lagoon columns receiving pretreated influent

open access: yesScientia Agricola
Land application of both anaerobic lagoon liquid and sludge can increase nutrient accumulation beyond the soil’s assimilative capacity and become a threat to water quality in regions with intensive, confined swine production.

Reactivity of an ortho‐Phenylene‐bridged Al/P Frustrated Lewis Pair Towards Small Molecules

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Accepted Article.
Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) as ambiphilic molecules are prone to activate small molecules and are in the focus of interest for many years. In this paper, we present the first ortho‐phenylene bridged Al/P‐based FLP with only one phosphine moiety. The title compound was employed in various reactions with small molecules featuring different functional ...

The microbiome science of composting and human excrement composting: a review [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Linear waste management systems are unsustainable and contribute to environmental degradation, economic inequity, and health disparities. Among the array of environmental challenges stemming from anthropogenic impacts, the management of human excrement (human feces and urine) stands as a significant concern.

Duckweed: Growth factor and applications in nonfood, food, and health

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Versatile Duckweed! Duckweeds are aquatic plants that are mainly constituted of five genera, Lemna, Spirodela, Wolffia, Wolffiella, and Landoltia. The growth rates and chemical compositions are influenced by light intensity, photoperiod, nutrient content, microbial growth, temperature, medium salinity and conductivity, windspeed, climate, and water pH.

Substitution of fertiliser with poultry manure: Is this economically viable? [PDF]

open access: yes
Rapid expansion of the KwaZulu-Natal poultry industry has resulted in poultry manure and litter production that in certain areas exceeds the potential for use in crop production. If land application exceeds crop requirements, manure production may result
