Metabolic and cometabolic degradation of herbicides in the fine material of railway ballast [PDF]
, 2006 Microbial degradation of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) and mineralization of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) were studied in soil samples taken from the ballast layers of three Swedish railway embankments. The degradation of

SituResp®: A time- and cost-effective method to assess basal soil respiration in the field
Applied Soil Ecology, 2017 Abstract The soil microbial activity is a key parameter in numerous studies aiming to assess soil quality in agricultural plots. Basal Soil Respiration (BSR) has been extensively used as an indicator of this soil microbial activity. However, available methods to measure BSR remain time- and labor- consuming and must be performed in the laboratory ...
