Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Glucose utilization of mucuna bracteata sap by saccharomyces cerevisiae in fermentation process [PDF]

, 2020
The usage of cover crops has been increase popularity in the agricultural community. A cover crop is a crop planted mainly to manage soil erosion, soil fertility, soil quality, water, weeds, pests, diseases, biodiversity and wildlife in an agro ecosystem.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Pyrosequencing analysis of fungal assemblages from geographically distant, disparate soils reveals spatial patterning and a core mycobiome [PDF]

, 2013
Identifying a soil core microbiome is crucial to appreciate the established microbial consortium, which is not usually subjected to change and, hence, possibly resistant/resilient to disturbances and a varying soil context. Fungi are a major part of soil

Strategic techniques for upgrading bio‐oil from fast pyrolysis: a critical review

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyrolysis has been the subject of extensive scientific research due to its potential application to various waste streams and byproducts from different production systems. One of its main products is the liquid fraction known as bio‐oil – a complex material composed of a wide variety of organic molecules and a significant water content.

Modeling of Soil Functions for Assessing Soil Quality: Soil Biodiversity and Habitat Provisioning

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Soil biodiversity and habitat provisioning is one of the soil functions that agricultural land provides to society. This paper describes assessment of the soil biodiversity function (SB function) as a proof of concept to be used in a decision support ...

Estimating the Resilience Value of Soil Biodiversity in Agriculture: A Stochastic Simulation Approach [PDF]

Characteristic of ecosystems is that different organisms can have similar functions and hence provide similar ecosystem services. Consequently functional diversity can maintain the rate of services despite environmental fluctuations.

Production of a nutrient enriched biochar: a techno‐economic feasibility analysis

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract A techno‐economic feasibility analysis was conducted for a biomass pyrolysis plant that utilized Eucalyptus to produce fertilizer‐enriched biochar. Key parameters – biomass throughput, fertilizer loading, and selling price – were optimized for financial viability using net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), return on ...
