The provenance of selected heavy metals in soils near power plant of Hamedan: A pedological approach

مجله آب و خاک, 2014
To determine the origin of heavy metals, the effects of parent materials, soil genesis, and human activities on the content and distribution of selected metals in soils near Mofateh Martyr powerhouse, Hamedan, were assessed.

Climate change will disproportionally affect the most genetically diverse lineages of a widespread African tree species

Scientific Reports, 2022
Global climate change is proceeding at an alarming rate with major ecological and genetic consequences for biodiversity, particularly in drylands. The response of species to climate change may differ between intraspecific genetic groups, with major ...

Copiotrophic Bacterial Traits Increase With Burn Severity One Year After a Wildfire

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Wildfire and burn severity influence soil microbial communities during post-fire recovery. If post-fire differences in microbial communities affect soil carbon (C) pool dynamics, altered microbial communities could influence the transition of forests ...

Logging has legacy effects on the structure of soil fungal communities several decades after cessation in Western Cascade forest stands

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionLogging impacts millions of hectares of forests globally every year, and not only affects tree cover, but also disrupts below-ground soil communities that are essential for forest ecosystems.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Additions Alter the Abundance of Phosphorus-Solubilizing Bacteria and Phosphatase Activity in Grassland Soils

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Microorganisms mobilize phosphorus (P) in soil by solubilizing bound inorganic P from soil minerals and by mineralizing organic P via phosphatase enzymes.

Genome Evolution: Groping in the Soil Interstices [PDF]

Current Biology, 2015
Centipedes are a very old lineage of terrestrial animals. The first completely sequenced myriapod genome reveals that the blind centipede Strigamia maritima has no gene for light-sensory proteins, lacks the canonical circadian clock and possesses unusual features related to chemosensory perception.

Characteristics of Bacterial Community Structure and Function in Artificial Soil Prepared Using Red Mud and Phosphogypsum

Microorganisms
The preparation of artificial soil is a potential cooperative resource utilization scheme for red mud and phosphogypsum on a large scale, with a low cost and simple operation. The characteristics of the bacterial community structure and function in three
