Soil quality – A critical review

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2018
Sampling and analysis or visual examination of soil to assess its status and use potential is widely practiced from plot to national scales. However, the choice of relevant soil attributes and interpretation of measurements are not straightforward, because of the complexity and site-specificity of soils, legacy effects of previous land use, and trade ...

Mercury-Tolerant Ensifer medicae Strains Display High Mercuric Reductase Activity and a Protective Effect on Nitrogen Fixation in Medicago truncatula Nodules Under Mercury Stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Mercury (Hg) is extremely toxic for all living organisms. Hg-tolerant symbiotic rhizobia have the potential to increase legume tolerance, and to our knowledge, the mechanisms underlying Hg tolerance in rhizobia have not been investigated to date ...

Nodulated White Lupin Plants Growing in Contaminated Soils Accumulate Unusually High Mercury Concentrations in Their Nodules, Roots and Especially Cluster Roots

Horticulturae, 2021
Two white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) cultivars were tested for their capacity to accumulate mercury when grown in Hg-contaminated soils. Plants inoculated with a Bradyrhizobium canariense Hg-tolerant strain or non-inoculated were grown in two highly Hg ...

A data independent acquisition all ion fragmentation mode tool for the suspect screening of natural toxins in surface water

MethodsX, 2021
Among natural freshwater pollutants, cyanotoxins, mycotoxins, and phytotoxins are the most important and less studied. Their identification in surface water is challenging especially cause of the lack of standards and established analytical parameters ...

Analysis of pharmaceuticals in fish using ultrasound extraction and dispersive spe clean-up on que Z-Sep/C18 followed by LC-QToF-MS detection

MethodsX, 2020
: The presence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in aquatic biota has been received much less attention than their presence in surface or waste water, and it was not until the mid-2000s, this gap started to be addressed.

Mitigating N₂O Peaks in Rice–Wheat Rotations: Targeting Wheat-Season Windows with Straw Return

Agronomy
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in cereal-based rotations often show short-lived peaks after fertilization, but their contribution to annual budgets and their responsiveness to straw management remain poorly quantified.
