ABSTRACT The California almond industry underwent a remarkable transformation in food safety management and culture following outbreaks of salmonellosis associated with the consumption of raw almonds in 2000–2001 and 2003–2004. However, limited studies have examined these changes from a longitudinal perspective.

Assessment of tillage systems in organic farming: influence of soil structure on microbial biomass. First results [PDF]
Soil tillage modifies environmental conditions of soil microorganisms and their ability to release nitrogen. We compare the influence of reduced tillage (RT) and mouldboard ploughing (MP) on the soil microbial functioning in organic farming.

ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Nematode on cotton: Root-knot nematode control by soil fumigation profitable in Kern County
Soil fumigation enables a grower to plant' cotton on land infested with root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita var. acrita,—and to obtain yields that give profit above cost of fumigation.

The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

We used a 13C‐CO2 labeling study to track the formation and persistence of mineral‐associated soil carbon derived from living root and decaying root inputs under normal moisture and droughted conditions in a semiarid grassland soil. Drought reduced the formation of MAOM derived from living roots by decreasing rhizodeposits, reducing microbial growth ...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) persists over timescales from years to millennia but remains vulnerable to disturbance depending on stabilization mechanisms and environmental constraints. This study assesses SOC persistence and vulnerability across five land‐use types by combining radiocarbon‐derived system age and transit time with indicators of biological ...

Earthworms Enhance Global Soil Carbon Storage Through Microbial–Mineral Stabilization
Earthworms as conditional ecosystem engineers of the soil carbon cycle. The conceptual framework illustrates how earthworm effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics depend on plant‐derived carbon inputs and time. With sustained inputs, earthworm activity stimulates decomposition and nutrient release, boosting plant productivity.

The Role of Scientists in Risk Assessment [PDF]
The authors argue that Risk assessors belong to a profession and offer an alternative to the 1983 National Research Council model defining Risk assessment.

Warming significantly increased, but nitrogen (N) fertilization decreased soil respiration, and N fertilization also decreased soil respiration only in the warming treatment in a switchgrass cropland in Middle Tennessee. ABSTRACT Understanding the effects of multiple global change drivers, for example, warming (W) and nitrogen (N) fertilization, is ...
