Soil biological attributes in pastures of different ages in a crop-livestock integrated system
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the pasture (Urochloa brizantha) component age on soil biological properties, in a crop-livestock integrated system. The experiment was carried out in a Brazilian savannah (Cerrado) area with 92 ha,

Physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil under soybean cultivation and at an adjacent rainforest in Amazonia [PDF]
Land-use change in the Amazon basin has occurred at an accelerated pace during the last decade, and it is important that the effects induced by these changes on soil properties are better understood.

Higher dietary ketogenic ratio was associated with lower prevalence of overactive bladder, partially mediated by dietary inflammation and central adiposity in U.S. adults (NHANES 2009–2018). ABSTRACT Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by urinary urgency, often accompanied by increased frequency and nocturia, and is associated with impaired ...

Soil respiratory quotient determined via barometric process separation combined with nitrogen-15 labeling [PDF]
The barometric process separation (BaPS) and ¹⁵N dilution techniques were used to determine gross nitrification rates on the same soil cores from an old grassland soil.

Waste tires to fertilizer: Carbon black zinc fertilizer for maize in calcareous soils
Abstract Waste tires accumulate in massive quantities worldwide, posing significant environmental challenges. Pyrolysis under high vacuum offers a potential disposal solution, producing recovered carbon black (CB) enriched in zinc (Zn) from zinc oxide used in tire manufacture.

DOC trial: diversity and metabolic effiency of microbial communities in organic and conventional soils [PDF]
Soil microbiota are favoured by organic farming systems. Moreover they were found to need less energy fore their maintenance. The diversity of microbial functions was also increased. Our results support the hypothesis that diverse populations make better

Response of soil fungi and biological processes to crop residues in no-tillage system
Soil management and crop rotation can directly affect the soil microbial community. This study aimed at determining soil quality indicators and soilborne fungi in a no-tillage system. A randomized blocks design, in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, was used.

Fecal pellet packaging enhances marine carbon sequestration
Abstract Fecal pellets produced by marine zooplankton contribute substantially to transporting biologically fixed carbon from the sunlit sea surface into deeper water layers. Their occurrence and composition are often heterogeneous, and pellets may undergo various changes while sinking, making it difficult to quantitatively assess their mechanisms of ...

Exposures in Indoor Air Affecting Health
ABSTRACT Indoor air quality (IAQ) is influenced by a wide range of chemical, biological and physical agents that can negatively impact physical, immunological and mental health. Adverse health effects depend on the type and concentration of pollutants, duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility.
