Glomalin-Related Soil Proteins as Indicator of Soil Quality in Pig-Fertigated and Rainfed Systems

Agronomy
Pig slurry fertigation can modify soil biochemical properties by promoting glomalin production and shifting microbial communities; however, its impacts under varying water regimes remain insufficiently quantified.

Vulnerability of soil aggregates in relation to soil properties [PDF]

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2002
Stability of soil structure represents an indicator of soil quality. The aim of this paper was to assess the effect of soil properties on structure vulnerability in an Orthic Luvisol. The aggregates were most vulnerable to fast wetting (mean Kv1 = 9.99, i.e. this effect can decrease the aggregate size 9.99 times).

Quantifying the Contribution of Sediment Load to Soil Detachment Rate by Sediment-Laden Rill Flow

, 2017
Sediment load changes with downslope distance during rill erosion process, and thus quantifying the potential contribution of sediment load on soil detachment rate is essential to accurately model the rill erosion process.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...
