, 2014 peer-reviewed This project is jointly funded by Teagasc and EPA STRIVE funding. Harmonised soil data across Europe with a 1:250 000 geo-referenced soil database will allow for exchange of data across member states and the provide the information needed for reporting on issues re-lating to soil quality under a future Soil Framework Directive.

Islands of biogeodiversity in arid lands on a polygons map study: Detecting scale invariance patterns from natural resources maps [PDF]
, 2016 Many maps (geology, hydrology, soil, vegetation, etc.) are created to inventory natural resources. Each of these resources is mapped using a unique set of criteria, including scales and taxonomies.

Estimating vegetation cover from high-resolution satellite data to assess grassland degradation in the Georgian Caucasus [PDF]
, 2016 In the Georgian Caucasus, unregulated grazing has damaged grassland vegetation cover and caused erosion. Methods for monitoring and control of affected territories are urgently needed.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Evaluation of a cosmic-ray neutron sensor network for improved land surface model prediction [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 In situ soil moisture sensors provide highly accurate but very local soil moisture measurements, while remotely sensed soil moisture is strongly affected by vegetation and surface roughness.

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Spatial and temporal variability of plant-available soil water in Congo Basin and its relationship with tree species distributions [PDF]
, 2012 Regional-scale patterns of tropical rainforest tree composition can be due to climate (rainfall, dry season length), geology and/or soil properties (chemical fertility, available water). In Amazonia, soil fertility and dry season length appears to be the

Naked cuticle is essential for Drosophila wing development beyond Wingless signaling
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Naked cuticle (Nkd), a Wnt signaling inhibitor, assumes extensive roles in Drosophila wing development. Overexpressing Nkd causes smaller, crumpled wings, while also perturbing multiple signaling pathways and developmental genes. A specific region (R1S) is critical for Nkd's function as a signaling integrator, offering new insights for studying its ...
