Changes in the soil's biological and chemical properties due to the land use

Soil and Water Research, 2020
Increasing the soil productivity is challenged by the increasing biotic threat to plants and microorganisms, by the resistance to agrochemicals, and by the declining soil health. Soil management strategy is, therefore, aimed at erosion prevention and the

Methodological peculiarities of basal respiration measurement of organogenic samples of peat soils

Lomonosov Soil Science Journal
Methodological peculiarities of basal respiration (BR) measurement have been studied on the peat soil samples from two taiga subzones. It is found that the BR values at the initial incubation time (30 minutes) significantly exceed the ‘classical’ variant (24 hours) and gradually decrease with time. It is observed for all types of samples.

The use of soil enzymes activity, microbial biomass, and basal respiration to assess the effects of cobalt oxide nanomaterial in soil microbiota

Applied Soil Ecology, 2022
Abstract Despite the high array of potential applications of cobalt oxide nanomaterial (nano-Co3O4), data regarding its toxicity to soil biota is limited, compromising the capability of predicting the risks of this metal oxide nanomaterial (MO-NM).

Systematic Benchmarking of a Noise‐Tolerant Conductive Hydrogel Electrode for Epidermal Bioelectronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
General schematic of the approach. Abstract Conventional Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes remain the clinical standard for electrophysiological monitoring but are hindered by poor skin conformity, mechanical rigidity, and signal degradation, particularly under motion or sweat.
