Soil macroarthropod dynamics in response to environmental disturbances in a forest remnant ecosystem: A case study at Cibodas Botanical Garden

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science
Disturbing the remaining forest ecosystem in the Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG) has affected the dynamics of the soil macroarthropod communities. This study was conducted in three remaining forest locations in the CBG with different levels of disturbance.

Integrated Management of Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) with Sheep Grazing and Herbicide

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is one of the most problematic weeds in western United States rangelands and sagebrush steppe. It responds positively to different forms of disturbance, and its management has proven difficult.

Context dependence in a tropical forest: Repeated disturbance reduces soil nitrate response but increases phosphate

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Hurricanes and other extreme events are increasing in many regions, yet their long‐term impacts on ecosystem function are uncertain. In forested ecosystems, soil solution chemistry provides an important tool to assess the impacts of disturbance on ...

Constrained Forest Methane Sink by Thermal Adaptation of Soil Methanotrophs

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate warming can stimulate methanotroph‐mediated CH4 oxidation in forest soils, thereby mitigating the increase in atmospheric CH4 concentrations. By integrating evidence from a macro‐climatic thermal gradient and a 70‐day incubation experiment, this study demonstrates that microbial methanotrophs can adapt to long‐term temperature changes at the ...

Measuring Field Variability of Disturbed Soils for Simulation Purposes

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, 1992
Abstract Spatial variation of soil profiles disturbed by leveling was inventoried on a field scale to obtain representative data for simulation purposes. Depth of occurrence, thickness, and morphology of functional layers, which are different pedogenetic horizons with comparable soil physical properties, were considered to be ...

The investigation of tube sampling disturbance using transparent soil and particle image velocimetry [PDF]

open access: yes
A small-scale physical modelling system was developed and employed to investigate the effects of tube sampling. Amorphous silica and an oil blend of matching refractive index were mixed to form a transparent soil.

Functional–Taxonomic Scaling Resolves Conflicting Average Genome Size Estimates Across Environmental Gradients

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on genome size‐functional breadth theory, we introduce and validate a framework that adjudicates conflicting average genome size (AGS) estimates by testing which estimate yields a gap between scaled functional diversity and scaled taxonomic diversity that is consistent with the expected positive association between genome size and gene functional

Mitigation of environmental damage by monitoring chemical biological indices of disturbed soil [PDF]

open access: yes
The Soil Biodiversity platform has invited researchers, politicians, decision-makers, industries, and states to seriously consider soil biodiversity conservation, including all kinds of microorganisms: ‘The maintenance of soil biodiversity is ...

Note / Note

open access: yes, 2008
Forest soil disturbance intervals are usually too long to measure using plot-based studies, and thus they are poorly understood. The mean soil disturbance interval (MSDI) in an old-growth forest on the west coast of Vancouver Island was estimated from ...

The GPX3‐VCAM1 Axis Gates Pro‐Fibrotic Tubule Cell Fate in Hyperuricemic Nephropathy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hyperuricemia induces NLRP3 inflammasome signaling activation and downregulation of GPX3 in proximal tubular epithelial cells, leading to oxidative stress–driven VCAM1 upregulation, emergence of pro‐fibrotic proximal tubule cells, macrophage recruitment, and renal fibrosis.
