Identification of Group II Intron RmInt1 Binding Sites in a Bacterial Genome

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
RmInt1 is a group II intron encoding a reverse transcriptase protein (IEP) lacking the C-terminal endonuclease domain. RmInt1 is an efficient mobile retroelement that predominantly reverse splices into the transient single-stranded DNA at the template ...

Embracing the dynamic nature of soil structure: A paradigm illuminating the role of life in critical zones of the Anthropocene

Earth-Science Reviews, 2021
extracellular s of fluxes of and that define the physical and chemical environment. Here we review the nature of soil structure, focusing on its co-evolution with the plants and microbes that live within the soil, and the degree to which these processes ...

Soil structure recovery following compaction: Short‐term evolution of soil physical properties in a loamy soil

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2021
Soil compaction by farm machinery may persist for decades, hampering soil productivity and functioning. Assessing compaction costs and guiding recovery strategies are hindered by paucity of data on soil structure recovery rates.

A framework for quantifying hydrologic effects of soil structure across scales

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021
Earth system models use soil information to parameterize hard-to-measure soil hydraulic properties based on pedotransfer functions. However, current parameterizations rely on sample-scale information which often does not account for biologically-promoted

Comparing straw, compost, and biochar regarding their suitability as agricultural soil amendments to affect soil structure, nutrient leaching, microbial communities, and the fate of pesticides.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
The emission of nutrients and pesticides from agricultural soils endangers natural habitats. Here, we review to which extent carbon-rich organic amendments help to retain nutrients and pesticides in agricultural soils and to reduce the contamination of ...
