Changes in Soil Microbial Activity, Bacterial Community Composition and Function in a Long-Term Continuous Soybean Cropping System After Corn Insertion and Fertilization

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Corn-soybean rotation and fertilization are common practices improving soil fertility and crop yield. Their effects on bacterial community have been extensively studied, yet, few comprehensive studies about the microbial activity, bacterial community and

Biological and microbiological attributes in Oxisol managed with cover crops

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
The inclusion of winter cover crops and fertilization with nitrogen to the soil can have an effect on their biological and microbiological attributes. The aim of this study was to evaluate biological and microbiological attributes in soil under different

Grazing impact on soil chemical and biological properties under different plant cover types in a mountain area of Southern Italy. [PDF]

, 2006
Grazing can contribute to soil degradation by compaction due to roaming of livestock and loss of herbaceous cover, affecting also soil microbial community.

Non-target effects of three formulated pesticides on microbially-mediated processes in a clay-loam soil [PDF]

, 2013
An experiment was performed to study non-target effects of difenoconazole (fungicide), deltamethrin (insecticide) and ethofumesate (herbicide) on microbial parameters in a clay-loam soil. Pesticides were applied as commercial formulations to soil samples

Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Monitoring the biological activity of the composting process : oxygen uptake rate (OUR), respirometric index (RI) and respiratory quotient (RQ) [PDF]

, 2004
Composting of several organic wastes of different chemical composition (source-separated organic fraction of municipal solid waste, dewatered raw sludge, dewatered anaerobically digested sludge and paper sludge) was carried out under controlled ...

Risk factors for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder in children: A systematic review

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a relatively new diagnosis in the DSM‐5, since 2013. The restrictive and/or selective eating—driven by a lack of interest, sensory sensitivity, and/or concern over aversive consequences—is associated with significant medical and/or psychosocial problems.

Leaf litter identity rather than diversity shapes microbial functions and microarthropod abundance in tropical montane rainforests

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In tropical forest ecosystems leaf litter from a large variety of species enters the decomposer system, however, the impact of leaf litter diversity on the abundance and activity of soil organisms during decomposition is little known. We investigated the

Probiotic fermentation of soybeans and use of fermented soy in cookies

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND With increasing prevalence of mental health issues such as insomnia and anxiety, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) has gained attention for its neurological benefits. The development of GABA‐rich functional foods has emerged as a promising research direction. Soybeans, rich in glutamate, are excellent substrates for GABA biosynthesis using

Aridity thresholds of soil microbial metabolic indices along a 3,200 km transect across arid and semi-arid regions in Northern China [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Soil microbial processes are crucial for understanding the ecological functions of arid and semi-arid lands which occupy approximately 40% of the global terrestrial ecosystems.
