Under steady–state conditions, potential nitrogen mineralization in soil under grasslands is closely tied to potential carbon mineralization. This study provides supporting evidence that field–specific nitrogen fertilizer recommendations could be indicated by using a simple and rapid analysis of soil–test biological activity.

Plasmid‐like DNA sequences frequently found in bovine milk and serum have been proposed as infectious agents promoting indirect carcinogenesis. This multi‐omics study detected immune cells positive for these bovine meat and milk factors (BMMFs) in patients with lung cancer, with BMMF expression inversely correlated with smoking intensity.

Biodiversity as a Dominant Force in Shaping Ethnic Music Styles 生物多样性:塑造民族音乐风格的主导力量
Our findings show that plant, bird, and mammal diversity considerably shape musical features such as vocal range and ornamental sounds, more so than geography or lifestyle. Our study provides the first empirical evidence linking biodiversity to ethnic music styles. Protecting biodiversity, the musical and cultural will be protected.

Mountain farming in South Tyrol
Since the return of large carnivores and particularly wolves in the Alps, the analysis of the mountain faming system can be applied to the assessment of the exposure to predation risk on pastures. On one hand, the regional mountain faming system has to be examined in detail to assess the risk encountered by grazing livestock to be preyed upon by wolves

ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...

Mountain farming systems efficiency and sustainability
Like other economic sectors, agriculture requires the efficient use of resources and farming inputs, considered as a key factor for sustainability. On the other hand, the ecological limitations of the productivity in mountains make the study of efficiency in agricultural systems in these areas even more crucial.
