Old Soil Organic Matter Has a Low Carbon:Nitrogen Ratio—A Global Meta‐Analysis About 14C and Soil Stoichiometry

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
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]

open access: yes, 2008
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.

Evaluation of Torula Yeast (Candida utilis) Single Cell Proteins as a Partial Replacement for Soybean Meal in Broiler Diets: Effects on Productive Performance, Meat Quality Traits, and Plasma Metabolome

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 674-684, September 2026.
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.

The evolutionary ecology of model microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
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?

Morphological and Size‐Dependent Enrichment of Endotoxins in Coastal Spray Aerosols: Implications for Regional Respiratory Health Risks

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
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.

Chemical and microbiological attributes of an oxisol treated with successive applications of sewage sludge¹

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2011
Studies on sewage sludge (SS) have confirmed the possibilities of using this waste as fertilizer and/or soil conditioner in crop production areas. Despite restrictions with regard to the levels of potentially toxic elements (PTE) and pathogens, it is ...

Garden compost inoculum leads to microbial bioanodes with potential-independent characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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]

open access: yesمجله جنگل ایران, 2015
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 in soil characteristics control microbial respiration and carbon use under tree plantations in the middle gangetic region

open access: yesHeliyon
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

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2011
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 ...
