Vermicompost Alters Soil Microbial Communities and Decomposition but Increases Nitrate Leaching in Tropical Sugarcane. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A six‐week field trial in Australian sugarcane soil used metabarcoding, trait‐based analysis and structural equation modelling to test how vermicompost affects soil biodiversity, decomposition and nitrate leaching under tropical conditions. Vermicompost shifted bacterial community composition and accelerated decomposition, yet increased nitrate ...

Effect of Plant-Derived and Microbial Feed Additives on the Growth Performance and Biochemical Composition of Juvenile Sea Cucumber <i>Stichopus monotuberculatus</i>. [PDF]

Aquac Nutr
Low growth and survival rates (SRs) are common challenges confronted in cultivation of sea cucumbers, particularly during juvenile stage. Given the significance of feed components in aquaculture, it is essential to explore various additives in formulated feed for juvenile sea cucumber Stichopus monotuberculatus.

Creating careful circularities: Community composting in New York City

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 529-546, June 2022., 2022
This paper examines the diverse economies and careful circularities of community composting in New York City. Through ethnographic research we explore the affective, material, and ethical transformations that occur in and around the compost pile. This case study provides not only a material space for examining community composting but also a unique ...

Role played by the environment in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the food chain

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Abstract The role of food‐producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in EU plant‐based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and pigs) and aquaculture was assessed. Among the various sources and transmission routes identified, fertilisers of faecal origin, irrigation and surface water for plant ...
