Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Composition in Top- and Subsoil From Irrigated Mediterranean Orchards

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Soil Science
The soil microbiome, crucial for nutrient cycling and soil health, has been extensively studied in topsoil, yet the subsoil microbiome remains relatively unexamined despite its potential contributions to agroecosystem functionality.

Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...

Shifts in fungal communities drive soil profile nutrient cycling during grassland restoration

open access: yesmBio
Soil microbial diversity and community life strategies are crucial for nutrient cycling during vegetation restoration. Although the changes in topsoil microbial communities during restoration have been extensively studied, the structure, life strategies,

Higher subsoil carbon storage in species-rich than species-poor temperate forests

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2014
Forest soils contribute ca. 70% to the global soil organic carbon (SOC) pool and thus are an important element of the global carbon cycle. Forests also harbour a large part of the global terrestrial biodiversity.

Using ecoinformatics to evaluate the impact of crop and herbicide rotations on herbicide intensity

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Maize fields with cotton in rotation receive lower herbicide application than fields without cotton. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop rotation is a central component of integrated weed management (IWM) under real‐world conditions, yet its impact on herbicide use remains unclear. To address this challenge, we developed an ecoinformatics‐driven analysis approach

Decreased DMI sensitivity of Plenodomus biglobosus (phoma of oilseed rape) associated with CYP51 substitution G476S

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Here, we report for the first time a target site mutation in the CYP51 gene of the oilseed rape phoma stem canker fungus Plenodomus biglobosus (Leptosphaeria biglobosa) that is associated with decreased sensitivity to sterol demethylation inhibitor fungicides.

Green Transition, Extractive Continuities: Lithium Mining and the Environmental Contradictions of Sustainability

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global decarbonization has positioned lithium as a strategic mineral for electric vehicles, battery storage, and low‐carbon development. Yet its extraction raises serious environmental, political, and justice concerns that complicate dominant narratives of clean energy progress.

Mitigation of the Gradient of Chemical Properties in the Rooting Zone of Dystrophic Oxisols by Gypsum and Lime Inputs under a No-Till System

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo
Improvement of soil chemical properties in dystrophic Oxisols managed under long-term no-tillage system (NTS) with surface broadcast lime has been, frequently, restricted to a shallow topsoil layer.

Ecosystem openness to nitrogen and phosphorus controlled by fertilisation, mowing and plant diversity in a grassland

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem openness to nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is determined by the balance of N and P inputs (e.g. fertiliser) and outputs (biomass removal). Plant biodiversity enhances nutrient use efficiency due to species' complementary uptake driven by their variation in ...

Geological and geochemical characteristics of solid bitumen inclusions in volcanites of the pre-Jurassic complex of the Litvakovsky oil field

open access: yesЗаписки Горного института
The investigation of bitumen occurrences confined to zones of hydrothermal alteration developed within volcanic rocks of the Late Permian-Early Triassic age, intersected by a well in the upper part of the pre-Jurassic basement section at the ...
