Drained organic soils under agriculture — The more degraded the soil the higher the specific basal respiration

open access: yesGeoderma, 2019
Abstract Drained peatlands are hotspots of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from agricultural soils. As a consequence of both drainage-induced mineralisation and anthropogenic mixing with mineral soils, large areas of former peatlands under agricultural use underwent a secondary transformation of the peat (e.g. formation of aggregates).

Effect of strategies for controlling spontaneous plants on the quality of soil organic matter and soil fertility

open access: yesRevista Ciência Agronômica, 2021
Soil organic matter (SOM) and the chemical attributes of the soil are important indicators of soil quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of strategies for controlling spontaneous plants on SOM quality and soil fertility in an area of

Effects of thinning on soil respiration and microbial respiration of forest floor and soil in an oak (Quercus frainetto) forest

open access: yes, 2015
The effects of tree thinning on soil respiration and microbial respiration in a Hungarian oak (Quercus frainetto Ten.) forest were examined over a 2-year period (2010-12). Tree density was reduced to 50% of the basal area.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Fire severity influences the response of soil microbes to a boreal forest fire

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2016
Wildfire activity is projected to increase in boreal forests as a result of climate warming. The consequences of increased wildfire activity for soil carbon (C) storage in boreal forests may depend on the sensitivity of soil microbes to fire severity ...

Gut Microbiota Regulates Systemic Inflammatory Response and Compensatory Anti‐Inflammatory Response Syndromes by Targeting PF4+ Macrophages in Acute Pancreatitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis (AP) begins with pancreatic local inflammation, leading to the onset of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), followed by compensatory anti‐inflammatory response syndrome (CARS), which causes immune paralysis and higher mortality rate.

Effect of different dolomitic limestone dosages on soil respiration in a mid-altitudinal Norway spruce stand

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2019
The study focuses on the effect of chemical amelioration of dolomitic limestone (doses of 0, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 26 t ha-1) on soil respiration in a Norway spruce monoculture in mid-altitudinal elevation during one-year period after application.
