ECONOMICS OF AGRICULTURAL SOIL CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS [PDF]

Under the Kyoto protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change the United States is charged with reducing emissions of greenhouse gases to seven percent below their 1990 levels by the period 2008-2012. These reductions could be met

Secondary Chronic Osteomyelitis of the Mandible and Concomitant Mature Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia: A Case Report

Cyprus Journal of Medical Sciences
Florid osseous dysplasia and osteomyelitis are distinct disease entities that exhibit similar clinical and radiographic manifestations. The avascular nature of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) may predispose individuals to osteomyelitis. This case

Population-Level Dynamics and Community-Mediated Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides

Biomolecules
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are crucial components of innate immunity and promising leads for new anti-infective therapies, prized for their broad-spectrum activity and membrane-disruptive mechanisms. However, traditional models of antimicrobial action

Deconstructing the mangrove carbon cycle: Gains, transformation, and losses

Ecosphere
Mangroves are one of the most carbon‐dense forests on the Earth and have been highlighted as key ecosystems for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Hundreds of studies have investigated how mangroves fix, transform, store, and export carbon.

Microbial community diversity and geochemistry inform bioremediation of molybdenum-contaminated groundwater

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
In situ remediation of groundwater at coal combustion product (CCP) sites can be challenging for elements such as molybdenum (Mo), which do not respond well to commonly used treatment.

Land-Use Change and Carbon Sinks [PDF]

When and if the United States chooses to implement a greenhouse gas reduction program, it will be necessary to decide whether carbon sequestration policies — such as those that promote forestation and discourage deforestation — should be part of the ...
