Fungi stimulate organic phosphorus fraction transformation in subtropical masson pine plantation soils after nine years of thinning and understory removal

Ecological Processes
Background Phosphorus (P) availability in soils regulates forest productivity. However, the drivers of soil P dynamics following forest management remain poorly understood, particularly in P-deficient forests in tropical and subtropical regions.

Soil phosphorus availability and fractionation in response to different phosphorus sources in alkaline and acid soils: a short-term incubation study

Scientific Reports, 2023
Using agricultural wastes as an alternative phosphorus (P) source has great prospects to improve soil P status. A 70-day incubation experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of superphosphate (SSP), poultry manure (PM), cattle manure (CM ...

Fully Additive Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors on Renewable and Compostable Substrates Enable Ultrasensitive Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fully additive vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) with channel‐length of 226 nm on a 50 µm compostable substrate achieve >106 current modulation and ∼36 mS transconductance. Ion‐selective integration enables 1.1 mA dec−1 sensitivity and 36 µm detection limit, highlighting a scalable platform for sustainable electronics and ...

Studies of the distribution and bioavailability of soil zinc fractions

, 1991
This investigation was undertaken to study the distribution and availability of Zn in different soil fractions. The proportions of total Zn present in the soils in exchangeable, organically bound, complexed or adsorbed and residual fractions were ...

Intercropping of Stylosanthes green manure could improve the organic nitrogen fractions in a coconut plantation with acid soil.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Intercropping green manure (GM) may be a good solution to the problems of acid soil in tropical plantations. Soil organic nitrogen (No) may change due to the application of GM.

The Variation of Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Microbial Community Composition under Consecutive Cucumber Cropping in a Greenhouse

Horticulturae, 2022
The distribution of phosphorus (P) fractions in soil plays a decisive role in soil P bioavailability; however, the characteristics of soil P fractions under consecutive cropping in a solar greenhouse remain unclear.

Responses of soil phosphorus fractions to gap size in a reforested spruce forest

, 2016
Gap created by thinning is a vital practice for the management of degraded forest. However, little information is available about the change in soil P fractions following the gap formation. This study investigated the effects of three gap sizes on soil P

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Soil and Landscape Factors Affecting Phosphorus Loss from the Fitzgerald River Catchment in South West of Western Australia [PDF]

, 2009
Following over 100 years of agriculture and continuous phosphorus (P) fertilizer application in the south west of Western Australia, there is a growing risk of P transport from cropping and pasture land to streams.
