Concerning the location and persistence of soil urease

, 1972
Urease activity in soil is persistent for long periods under low water, low temperature, and sterile regimes, and it has been suggested that some form of enzyme-protective mechanism exists in soil.

Scale-dependent transition in soil moisture memory and its environmental controls in complex mountain terrain [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Soil moisture memory (SMM) – the persistence of soil moisture anomalies – is a key factor preconditioning hydrological responses and geohazard susceptibility. However, how SMM varies across timescales and the controls governing its persistence in complex

Mycelial DNA persistence in a forest soil

Environmental DNA, 2021
Living fungi can be identified and monitored in their soil habitat using an array of molecular methods. However, DNA originating from dead fungal tissue may become stabilized in the soil and remain detectable for some time after cell death rendering ...

Biochar alters the persistence of PAHs in soils by affecting soil physicochemical properties and microbial diversity: A meta-analysis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution in soil is a pervasive environmental issue worldwide. Although biochar has the potential to immobilize PAHs in soils, there remains a study gap in the use of systematic analyses to assess the ...

Persistence of fluazinam in soil under boreal conditions [PDF]

, 2020
Fluazinam, a widely used pesticide in conventional potato cultivation, is effective against epidemics of the fungal disease late blight. To assess fluazinam persistence in soil, laboratory experiments were conducted with fluazinam added to soil as a pure

Seismic signatures reveal persistence of soil compaction

Vadose Zone Journal, 2021
A well‐developed soil structure is a key attribute of a productive and functioning soil. Evidence shows that subtle changes in the spatial arrangement and binding of soil constituents impart large changes in soil mechanical and hydraulic properties and ...

Is there an effect of storage depth on the persistence of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) and rowan (Sorbus aucuparia L.) seeds? A seed burial experiment

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2021
Sorbus aucuparia L. (rowan) and Betula spp. (birch) are the most common of the early successional pioneer tree species in central Europe with the ability to form a soil seed bank.

Bioindicator demonstrates high persistence of sulfentrazone in dry soil

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2015
In sugarcane crop areas, the application of preemergence herbicides with long residual effect in the soil has been frequently necessary. The herbicide persistence in the soil must be high especially because of applications during the dry season of the ...

Microbial properties, enzyme activities and the persistence of exogenous proteins in soil under consecutive cultivation of transgenic cottons (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2011
One Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and two stacked Bt and cowpea trypsin inhibitor (Bt + CpTI) cottons and their non-transgenic isolines were consecutively cultivated to investigate the soil persistence of Cry1Ac and CpTI proteins and their effects on ...
