This study demonstrates that old SOM has a low C:N ratio compared to young SOM, indicating that N is preferentially retained in soils compared to organic C. Furthermore, the study shows that the C:N ratio and the Δ14C are higher in forest and shrubland soils than in grassland and cropland soils throughout the soil profile. ABSTRACT Soil organic matter (

Effect of Phosphorus Fertiliser on Soil Organic Matter Composition of Hill Country Pasture [PDF]
Soil organic matter is important as storage for carbon and nutrients, supporting soil structure, and as a filter for pollutants entering the soil ecosystem. The recovery of soil organic matter in depleted soils can take decades, or even hundreds of years.

ABSTRACT Over recent years the use of yeast in feedstuffs has gained momentum due to novel developments in single‐cell proteins (SCPs). SCPs are considered a sustainable protein source, as their production enable to convert low‐value substrates (including industrial/agricultural wastes) into feed, with a related reduced environmental impact. This study

The evolutionary ecology of model microbial communities [PDF]
textThe biological world is complex. Communities contain a multitude of interacting species, while populations contain extensive genetic variation. How much complexity must one consider to understand patterns and processes of interest?

Abstract Sea spray aerosols (SSA) transport bioactive substances that affect the Earth's environmental and climate system. We investigated the enrichment of endotoxins (LPS), characterized their influence on the SSA morphologies, and evaluated the respiratory tract deposition.

Garden compost inoculum leads to microbial bioanodes with potential-independent characteristics [PDF]
Garden compost leachate was used to form microbial bioanodes under polarization at 0.4, 0.2 and +0.1 V/SCE. Current densities were 6.3 and 8.9 A m2 on average at 0.4 and +0.1 V/SCE respectively, with acetate 10 mM.

The effect of deforestation and land use change on ecophysiology indices of soil carbon and nitrogen [PDF]
Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are the most important greenhouse gases. The changes of these gases are mainly affected by the variability of carbon and nitrogen ecophysiology indices.

Seasonal variations directly impact the biochemical and microbial properties of the soil, influence carbon and nutrient cycling within the soil system. Soils under tree plantation (TP) are rich in organic matter and microbial population, making them more

Effect of a radioactive waste of oil-producing complex on microbial community of gray forest soil
In the laboratory-scale experiment effects of the wastes containing oil components and elements of natural radioactive families U238, Th232 and K40, on a microbial biomass, soil respiration, metabolic quotient, dehydrogenase activity and number of ...
