Drought Legacy Effects on the Composition of Soil Fungal and Prokaryote Communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
It is increasingly acknowledged that climate change is influencing terrestrial ecosystems by increased drought and rainfall intensities. Soil microbes are key drivers of many processes in terrestrial systems and rely on water in soil pores to fulfill ...

The diversity and biogeography of soil bacterial communities.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2006
For centuries, biologists have studied patterns of plant and animal diversity at continental scales. Until recently, similar studies were impossible for microorganisms, arguably the most diverse and abundant group of organisms on Earth.

Performance Triggered Adaptive Model Reduction for Soil Moisture Estimation in Precision Irrigation

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate soil moisture information is essential for precise irrigation to enhance water use efficiency. Estimating soil moisture based on limited soil moisture sensors is especially critical for obtaining comprehensive soil moisture information when dealing with large‐scale agricultural fields.

Soil Property and Class Maps of the Conterminous US at 100 meter Spatial Resolution based on a Compilation of National Soil Point Observations and Machine Learning [PDF]

, 2017
With growing concern for the depletion of soil resources, conventional soil data must be updated to support spatially explicit human-landscape models. Three US soil point datasetswere combined with a stack of over 200 environmental datasets to generate complete coverage gridded predictions at 100 m spatial resolution of soil properties (percent organic

Optimizing Rice Yield and Nutrient Uptake: Investigating the Interaction Between Nitrogen and Potassium in Wet Season Rice Cultivation

Advances in Agriculture
Nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) are important yield-contributing nutrients for sustainable rice production. However, there is not much information in Bangladesh on the co-application of N and K and how they interact to affect rice yield and nutrition ...

Mechanical Loading of Osteocytes via Oscillatory Fluid Flow Regulates Early‐Stage PC‐3 Prostate Cancer Metastasis to Bone

Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2025.
In this study, the authors show that osteocytes, mechanosensing cells embedded within bone, can indeed regulate prostate cancer cell extravasation through a blood vessel using a physiologically relevant tissue model. Specifically, it is shown that osteocytes modulate the expression of blood vessel cell adhesion molecules, affecting the frequency at ...

Assessment of tillage systems in organic farming: influence of soil structure on microbial biomass. First results [PDF]

, 2007
Soil tillage modifies environmental conditions of soil microorganisms and their ability to release nitrogen. We compare the influence of reduced tillage (RT) and mouldboard ploughing (MP) on the soil microbial functioning in organic farming.

The Effect of Cover Crops on Soil Water Balance in Rain-Fed Conditions

Atmosphere, 2018
Soil and water conservation benefits of cover crops have been hypothesized as a way to mitigate and adapt to changing climatic conditions, but they can also have detrimental effects if rainfall is limited.
