Nonadditive Effects on Decomposition of a Mixture of Rice Straw and Groundnut Stover Applied to a Sandy Soil

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Rice straw is an abundant resource, but its use as a sandy soil amendment does not increase soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation. Our study aimed to determine the altered decomposition processes that result from mixing rice straw (RS) (low N, high ...

Succession Patterns of Microbial Composition and Activity following the Diesel Spill in an Urban River

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Diesel spills in freshwater systems have adverse impacts on the water quality and the shore wetland. Microbial degradation is the major and ultimate natural mechanism that can clean the diesel from the environment.

The Determination of Soil Microbial Biomass Carbon and Adenosine Triphosphate Concentrations at Different Temperatures

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
Freezing soil samples at subzero temperatures is a commonly employed preservation method in soil science to halt microbial activity and enzymatic processes, preserving the sample’s composition and structure.

Imidazolinone Degradation in Soil in Response to Application History [PDF]

open access: yesPlanta Daninha, 2015
Accelerated herbicide degradation consists in its faster degradation in areas where it has been previously applied, due to the adaptation of microbial population to that particular compound.

Early Effects of No-Till Use on Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.): Productivity and Soil Functioning Vary between Two Contrasting Mediterranean Soils

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
The diffusion of no-tillage (NT) is to be encouraged because of the benefits it can provide in terms of improving soil fertility and counteracting global warming and climate change as part of climate-smart agriculture practices. However, the introduction

Effects of heavy metal Cd pollution on microbial activities in soil

open access: yesAnnals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2017
Heavy metal contamination of soil occurs when heavy metals are introduced to soil through human activities, leading to the gradual deterioration of the ecology and environment.

Heterotrophic Extracellular Enzymatic Activities in the Atlantic Ocean Follow Patterns Across Spatial and Depth Regimes

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Heterotrophic microbial communities use extracellular enzymes to initialize degradation of high molecular weight organic matter in the ocean. The potential of microbial communities to access organic matter, and the resultant rates of hydrolysis, affect ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mixed Growth with Weeds Promotes Mycorrhizal Colonization and Increases the Plant-Availability of Phosphorus under Maize (Zea mays L.)

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
(1) Background: Weed control decreases the competition for nutrients, but also the potential of increased phosphorus (P) mobilization in soils caused by higher plant diversity.
