Plant cover and management practices as drivers of soil quality [PDF]

, 2018
Human activities intensively modify soil properties and quality according to land-use and management practices. In Mediterranean areas, pollution and fires may directly alter some soil abiotic properties as well as the steady-state condition of soil ...

Probiotic fermentation of soybeans and use of fermented soy in cookies

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 3130-3140, 30 March 2026.
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

Key management practices driving soybean yield variability in lowland fields of southern Brazil

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production in the lowlands of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, covers more than 50% of the area traditionally cropped with irrigated rice. However, soybean yields in lowland fields average 3.0 Mg ha−1, which is well below the potential yield (6.2 Mg ha−1) estimated for highland areas.

Passive Gauze‐Based eDNA Sampler Proves Efficient and Cost‐Effective in the Marine Environment

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Here, we present the first empirical comparison of the metaprobe 2.0, a low‐cost, passive eDNA sampler, against an industry standard Sterivex filtration method using dip‐collected 1‐L water samples (“water bottles”). Across 14 joint deployments, we assessed detection and quantification of eDNA of two elasmobranch and two teleost species. While Sterivex
