Improving and disaggregating N2O emission factors for ruminant excreta on temperate pasture soils [PDF]

, 2016
pre-printCattle excreta deposited on grazed grasslands are a major source of the greenhouse gas (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O). Currently, many countries use the IPCC default emission factor (EF) of 2% to estimate excreta-derived N2O emissions.

A Review of Non-Soil Biochar Applications [PDF]

Materials, 2020
Biochar is the solid residue that is recovered after the thermal cracking of biomasses in an oxygen-free atmosphere. Biochar has been used for many years as a soil amendment and in general soil applications. Nonetheless, biochar is far more than a mere soil amendment.

Imaging Spectrometry for Soil Applications

, 2008
Imaging spectroscopy (IS) is a new technique that has attracted the attention of many workers in many disciplines. In the field of soil science, this technology is not well developed and additional research is still required. This is in spite of the fact the soil environment has been already studied from a reflectance perspective by many workers, with ...

Effects of nitrogen addition on root traits and soil nitrogen in the long-term restored grasslands

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2021
Fine root traits are plastic and responsive to increased nitrogen (N) deposition. However, with the restoring of the ecosystem after grain for green, little research has been reported about the response of root traits in a long-term restored ecosystem to

Effect of Thermal Drying and Chemical Treatments with Wastes on Microbiological Contamination Indicators in Sewage Sludge

Microorganisms, 2020
This work aims to evaluate the microbiological contamination of sewage sludge (SS) collected in urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) from Portugal. Two types of SS were considered: urban mixed (UM) and from anaerobic digestion (AD).

Effects of extracellular polymeric substances on the aggregation of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae under increasing temperature

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (A. flos-aquae) blooms are serious environmental and ecological problems. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) are among the most important indicators for the growth and aggregation of A. flos-aquae.
