Nitrification is a key process in the N cycle and ammonia oxidization is the first and typically limiting step in nitrification. In this study, we investigated the changes of ammonium oxidizing prokaryotes after the application of green manure in a red paddy soil using pot experiments. The experiment included four treatments; milk vetch-rice, radish-rice, ryegrass-rice and winter fallow-rice. The nitrification potential was measured, and the abundance and community of amoA genes from ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) were quantified. The results showed that the AOA to AOB ratios ranged from 7 to 80, and that the milk vetch treatment increased the abundances of AOA and AOB. The abundance of AOA showed negative correlations with nitrification potential and NH4+-N, and positive correlation with soil pH in the acidic red paddy soil. DNA sequence analyses revealed that the Nitrososphaera and Nitrosospira were the dominant clusters of AOA and AOB, respectively. The dominant clusters of AOA were significantly changed by utilization of green manures, especially radish. Partial least squares path modeling analysis showed that green manures exerted larger effects on the abundances of AOA than on AOB, and the community structure of AOA had the strongest effect on nitrification potential. The high abundance of AOA found in this study and their responsiveness to green manuring suggests that AOA are critically important for soil ammonia oxidation in these soils and more sensitive to green manuring than AOB.", "keywords": ["2.

Here we present results of a multi proxy sedimentological and geochemical investigation of Kurortne loess-paleosol section from southwestern Ukraine, coupled with detailed optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. OSL investigations were carried out on quartz grains of different grain sizes (4-11 \u03bcm, 63-90 \u03bcm and 90-125\u03bcm), using the single aliquot regenerative (SAR) protocol. The OSL dating results are in line with previous findings on dating loess-paleosol sequences along the Black Sea shore in Romania, as well as worldwide: (i) ages obtained on different grain sizes are in agreement for equivalent doses of less than 200 Gy, whereas for higher equivalent doses 4-11 \u03bcm ages underestimate the coarser fraction ages; and (ii) an inverse correlation between dated grain size fractions and saturation characteristics is reported. Our combined dating and sedimentological approach would confirm that the investigated uppermost 4.5 m at Kurortne cover the Last Glacial Cycle, adding important data in better constraining local and regional chronostratigraphic correlations. The application of the SAR protocol on 63-90 \u03bcm quartz grains on samples collected from the lower part of S1 soil (the Kaydaky unit) and from the Kaydaky/Pryluky units boundary produced ages of 123 \u00b1 10 ka and 85 \u00b1 6 ka, respectively. As the temporal range covered by these units in the Ukrainian Quaternary stratigraphic framework is still debatable, our results confirm the broad correlation of the Kaydaky-Pryluky paleosol units at Kurortne with the last interglacial (i.e., MIS 5). Dating the Uday and Bug loess units produced ages corresponding to MIS 4 and MIS 2, respectively, whereas the sample collected from the the Vytachiv unit provided an age of 37.7 \u00b1 2.4 ka, assigning this paleosol to MIS 3.

Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional bioremediation techniques for the treatment of PH-contaminated groundwater. However, the field-application of these promising sustainable as well as cost-effective technologies is still scarce. One major reason is the lack of scalable reactor configurations. Herein, an upgraded version of the \u201cbioelectric well\u201d, a novel tubular bioelectrochemical reactor that can be installed directly within a groundwater well, was tested for the simultaneous removal of oxidableoxidizable (i.e., toluene and other PH) and reducible (i.e., sulfate) compounds from a real contaminated groundwater.  After a proof-of-concept study in batch mode, the system was operated in continuous-flow mode for 48 days with the anode polarized at 0.2\u00a0V vs. SHE and a hydraulic retention time of 11\u00a0h. In these conditions, a steady-state removal rate of toluene as high as 31\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02\u00a0mg L\u22121 d\u22121 was achieved, which was more than double the value observed with the open circuit potential (OCP) control and one of the highest reported in literature. The electrode polarization went along with a higher abundance of key-functional genes involved in toluene degradation. This was not only showing its clear functional connection to the microbial metabolism, but further allowed to identify the involved electrogenic biodegradation pathway. In addition, the system simultaneously removed sulfate (30\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01\u00a0mg L\u22121 d\u22121), with bacteria likely using the H2 generated at the cathode as electron donor. Nevertheless, the apparent sulfate removal rate in the polarized and in the OCP runs was similar. The analysis of the microbial communities evidenced a high abundance of the genus Chlorobium in the effluent of the polarized run. These microorganisms were probably responsible for the continuous oxidative regeneration of sulfate from the sulfide produced at the cathode by sulfate-reducing bacteria. This phenomenon probably hindered the overall removal of sulfate by the bioelectrochemical system.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "03 medical and health sciences", "Microbial electrochemical technologies", "Groundwater remediation", "bioremediation; groundwater remediation; microbial electrochemical technologies; petroleum hydrocarbons; toluene", "Petroleum hydrocarbons", "Bioremediation", "6.

This work investigates the use of EKR for the remediation of real agricultural soil polluted with copper-based fungicides, evaluating the use of chelating agents to improve their mobility under applied electric fields. Results revealed copper pollution around 34.2 mg kg-1, with >50 % of Cu strongly retained in the soil and, then, negatively affecting its mobility.

The amount of copper fluxed by electroosmosis or electromigration to the cathodic well as significantly lower.

This study calculates energy inputs and greenhouse gas emissions for the most efficient biomass feedstocks in New Zealand if the policy had been implemented to maximize liquid biofuel production in the year 2004/2005. The study uses existing processing technologies and agricultural statistics. Bioethanol production is calculated from putrescible wastes and starch crops, and biodiesel production from rapeseed, tallow, wood and waste paper. Each production system is further evaluated using measures of land use, energy input, crop production related to the energy product, plus relative measures of efficiency and renewability. The research findings are that maximum biofuel production in 2004/2005 would have provided only a few per cent of demand, and would not have reduced dependence on foreign imported oil or exposure to fuel price rise.

Recently, SOC also became an indicator for monitoring climate change mitigation policies in the agricultural sector. The availability of up-to-date SOC inventories is thus crucial in terms of supporting SOC\u2013related actions at country or sub-country scales. Currently, the National Monitoring System of the Agricultural Soils of Slovakia (CMS-P), whose network of 318 monitoring sites was last surveyed in 2018, is the only available source of up-to-date topsoil SOC data for agricultural land in Slovakia. Although very useful at the national scale, the number of CMS-P observations it contains is too limited for much needed sub-national SOC inventories. We hypothesized that with the aid of well-chosen macro-scale drivers of topsoil SOC accumulation in agricultural land in Slovakia, and by mapping those drivers geographically, we could upscale the CMS-P observations and produce a regional estimate of topsoil SOC. Altitude, land cover, topsoil texture, and soil type were assumed to be the key factors controlling topsoil SOC accumulation in Slovakia, and based on these, the country was classified into 14 macro-scale geographical regions. Typical ranges and mid-class values of 0\u201330cm topsoil SOC concentrations (%) and stocks (t ha\u22121) were calculated for each macro-scale region from CMS-P data. The average topsoil SOC content in agricultural land was estimated to be 2.13% (72.9 t ha\u22121). The highest topsoil SOC stock (> 90 t ha\u22121) was estimated for the lowlands of Slovakia, and the lowest (< 50 t ha\u22121) for the shallow and stony soils of mountain regions. When aggregated to 78 administrative regions at LAU1 level, the area-weighted averages ranged between 39.20 t ha\u22121 and 80.0 t ha\u22121, with the highest values (> 65 t ha\u22121) being in LAU1 regions in the south-west, south-east, and north of Slovakia where arable land is most prevalent. Total SOC storage in 0\u201330cm topsoil of agricultural land in Slovakia was estimated at 118.39 Mt, with two-thirds of this amount stored in arable soils in 33 south-west, south-east, and south LAU1 administrative regions. As there is no alternative and up-to-date dataset on topsoil SOC content in Slovakia, the upscaling algorithm presented in this study is an important step toward utilizing CMS-P data for sub-national SOC inventories. It may also offer a new way of providing inputs to help predict future or alternative regional topsoil SOC accumulation trajectories in Slovakian agricultural land using process-based or statistical models.", "keywords": ["2.

The developed analytical framework is exploited to discuss the dynamic response of a single building, evaluating the variation of its amplitude with respect to the characteristic site frequencies. The dynamics of two buildings are then studied by modelling their coupled response. In particular, the interaction between them is investigated as a function of the buildings spacing, mass, and relative stiffness. Finally, the analysis is extended to the coupled response of a cluster of five buildings. Through the discussed examples, it is demonstrated how the proposed methodology can serve as a computationally inexpensive tool for predicting the interaction among vibrating structures under shear antiplane waves propagating at different frequencies.", "keywords": ["0211 other engineering and technologies", "02 engineering and technology", "Structure\u2013soil\u2013structure interaction Multiple scattering Shear horizontal waves Green\u2019s function Coupled response", "0201 civil engineering"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://cris.unibo.it/bitstream/11585/940494/3/An%20analytical%20approach%20to%20model.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2023.116469"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Engineering%20Structures", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.engstruct.2023.116469", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.engstruct.2023.116469", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.engstruct.2023.116469"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2023-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.enpol.2010.03.030", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:16:37Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2010-04-12", "title": "Global Land-Use Implications Of First And Second Generation Biofuel Targets", "description": "Recently, an active debate has emerged around greenhouse gas emissions due to indirect land use change (iLUC) of expanding agricultural areas dedicated to biofuel production. In this paper we provide a detailed analysis of the iLUC effect, and further address the issues of deforestation, irrigation water use, and crop price increases due to expanding biofuel acreage. We use GLOBIOM \u2013 an economic partial equilibrium model of the global forest, agriculture, and biomass sectors with a bottom-up representation of agricultural and forestry management practices. The results indicate that second generation biofuel production fed by wood from sustainably managed existing forests would lead to a negative iLUC factor, meaning that overall emissions are 27% lower compared to the \u201cNo biofuel\u201d scenario by 2030. The iLUC factor of first generation biofuels global expansion is generally positive, requiring some 25 years to be paid back by the GHG savings from the substitution of biofuels for conventional fuels. Second generation biofuels perform better also with respect to the other investigated criteria; on the condition that they are not sourced from dedicated plantations directly competing for agricultural land. If so, then efficient first generation systems are preferable. Since no clear technology champion for all situations exists, we would recommend targeting policy instruments directly at the positive and negative effects of biofuel production rather than at the production itself.", "keywords": ["[SDV.SA]Life Sciences [q-bio]/Agricultural sciences", "CHANGEMENT D'USAGE DES SOLS", "2.

The need for realistic experiments examining the effects of extreme events, including their possible interaction, is therefore high. Here, we imposed heat and drought events in a full factorial design, on experimental plant communities consisting of three temperate, annual or biannual herbaceous species. The extremes were simulated in either early or late summer (July or August), as summer is the season where they are expected to have the greatest impact. The 10-day heat waves were simulated with infrared lamps and drought (either 20 or 17 days) was created by withholding water input and removing the water table.  During exposure, effects of drought extremes on leaf physiology were predominantly negative in July, and absent in August. Effects of heat extremes were positive, negative or neutral depending on species and period. Heat and drought were additive in July, but interacted in August. The aforementioned negative effects were not reflected in total (aboveground plus belowground) end-of-season community biomass, which, surprisingly, was stimulated in response to drought extremes in both periods. Effects of heat extremes varied but never reduced biomass, likewise to combined heat and drought. This increase in total community biomass originated exclusively from stimulated root growth. The exact mechanism for this unexpected result could not be ascertained, but greater whole-plant nitrogen stocks clearly indicated enhanced nutrient availability. The latter may have arisen from increased net mineralization or from greater root exploration under the influence of \u201cmid-season drought\u201d. Shifts in species dominance apparently also played a role, as species with pronounced allocation to roots were released from competition.  This study demonstrates that community responses to climate extremes are not necessarily negative. The observed responses depended on the soil moisture conditions they induced, which in our experiments varied with the timing of the imposed extremes, even within the same season.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "Chemistry", "13.

However, it is unclear why gypsophiles display greater affinity to gyspeous soils than other soils. These plants are edaphic endemics, growing in alkaline soils with high Ca and S. Gypsophiles tend to show higher foliar Ca and S, lower K and, sometimes, higher Mg than non-exclusive gypsum species, named gypsovags. Our aim was to test if the unique leaf elemental signature of gypsophiles could be the result of special nutritional requirements linked to their specificity to gypseous soils. These nutritional requirements could hamper the completion of their life cycle and growth in other soil types. To test this hypothesis, we cultivated five gypsophiles and five gypsovags dominant in Spanish gypsum outcrops on gypseous and calcareous (non-gypseous) field soil for 29 months. We regularly measured growth and phenology, and differences in leaf traits, final biomass, individual seed mass, seed viability, photosynthetic assimilation and leaf elemental composition. We found all the gypsophiles studied were able to complete their life cycle in non-gypseous soil, producing viable seeds, attaining greater biomass and displaying higher photosynthetic assimilation rates than in gypseous soil. The leaf elemental composition of some species (both gypsophiles and gypsovags) shifted depending on soil, although none of them showed leaf deficiency symptoms. Regardless of soil type, gypsophiles had higher leaf S, Mg, Fe, Al, Na, Mn, Cr and lower K than gypsovags. Consequently, gypsophiles have a unique leaf chemical signature compared to gypsovags of the same family, particularly due to their high leaf S regardless of soil conditions. However, these nutrient requirements are not sufficient to explain why gypsophiles are restricted to gypsum soil in natural conditions.", "keywords": ["2.

This approach enabled the identification of novel variability in the TdHsp26-A1 and-B1 genes. As a result, 38 durum wheat genotypes were analyzed using targeted enrichment PCR, leading to the identification of 17 novel haplotype combinations with SNPs in the TdHsp26 genes. The response of these SSD haplotypes to heat stress was characterized at both the seedling and tillering growth stages. Phenotypic analysis of contrasting genotypes led to the selection of two distinct genotypes: SSD69 and SSD397. During heat stress, SSD69 exhibited altered accumulation of H2O2 2 O 2 and MDA content under both growth conditions, providing new insights into the oxidative response to heat stress.

Rotation increased crop yields by 20% on average when compared with continuous monoculture practices. Effects of rotation on crop yield were more pronounced in southwestern China (+38%) than in eastern China (+10%) and were notably less reliable and generally smaller in regions with moderate annual rainfall (400\u2013550\u202fmm). Rotation had greater yield benefits in soils with coarse or medium soil textures, intermediate levels of initial soil organic carbon (7\u201310\u202fg kg\u22121), and lower total nitrogen (\u2264 1.2\u202fg kg\u22121). Effect of rotation on crop yield also depends on the type of previously cultivated crops (hereinafter, pre-crops), ranging from 2% for Triticeae pre-crops to 27% for grain leguminous pre-crops. Yield increase under legume-based rotations was 14% higher than that without legumes. The mean yield response of the crop subsequent to rotation ranged from 6% (cereals, except for Triticeae crops) to 34% (root crops). The legacy benefit of rotation on subsequent crop yield persisted for 2\u20133 years, decreasing from +31% in the second year to +8% in the third year. Effect of rotation on crop yield under conventional tillage was greater than that under conservation tillage. The yield benefit of rotation on subsequent crops was much higher with a lower nitrogen fertilization rate (\u2264 120\u202fkg ha\u22121), indicating that fertilization can be reduced and an acceptable yield maintained with crop rotation. In conclusion, crop rotation largely increases agricultural production without extra inputs, although its design may need to consider diverse climates, soils, crops, and management practices to maximize its agronomic and environmental benefits.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

We hypothesised that biochars contaminated with PAHs would show a larger N(2)O mitigation capacity and that increasing PAH concentrations in biochar would lead to higher mitigation potentials. Our results demonstrate that the high-temperature biochar (550 \u00b0C) had a higher capacity to mitigate soil N(2)O emissions than the low-temperature biochar (350 \u00b0C). At low PAH concentrations, PAHs do not significantly contribute to the reductions in soil N(2)O emissions; while biochar stimulated soil N(2)O emissions when it was spiked with high concentrations of PAHs.

Such assessments require high spatial resolution maps that also integrate temporal variations, and can only be feasibly achieved by using ecological indicators. Our aim was to rank land-cover types according to the amount and form of emitted atmospheric Nr in a complex landscape with multiple sources of N. To do so, we measured and mapped nitrogen concentration and isotopic composition in lichen thalli, which we then related to land-cover data. Results suggested that, at the landscape scale, intensive agriculture and urban areas were the most important sources of Nr to the atmosphere.

Mulching with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is widely practiced and the resulting macro- and microscopic plastic residues in agricultural soil have aroused concerns for years. Over the past decades, a variety of biodegradable (Bio) plastics have been developed in the hope of reducing plastic contamination of the terrestrial ecosystem. However, the impact of these Bio plastics in agroecosystems have not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, we investigated the impact of macro (around 5\u00a0mm) and micro (<1\u00a0mm) sized plastic debris from LDPE and one type of starch-based Bio mulch film on soil physicochemical and hydrological properties. We used environmentally relevant concentrations of plastics, ranging from 0 to 2% (w/w), identified by field studies and literature review. We studied the effects of the plastic residue on a sandy soil for one month in a laboratory experiment. The bulk density, porosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity, field capacity and soil water repellency were altered significantly in the presence of the four kinds of plastic debris, while pH, electrical conductivity and aggregate stability were not substantially affected. Overall, our research provides clear experimental evidence that microplastics affect soil properties. The type, size and content of plastic debris as well as the interactions between these three factors played complex roles in the variations of the measured soil parameters. Living in a plastic era, it is crucial to conduct further interdisciplinary studies in order to have a comprehensive understanding of plastic debris in soil and agroecosystems.", "keywords": ["2.

However, increased atmospheric N deposition over recent decades has dramatically altered nutrient cycles in many eastern forests. Given the variability of ecosystem responses to N deposition and the sensitivity of herbaceous layer vegetation to edaphic and microenvironmental conditions, changes in nutrient dynamics could have important implications for forest diversity and productivity. To better understand variations in soil N relative to understory dynamics, we sampled herbaceous layer composition and diversity across topographic gradients in managed (10-year-old aggrading) and mature (>125 years) mixed-oak stands in southeastern Ohio. Vegetation was sampled in spring and summer to capture variations in vernal and late season herb communities. Edaphic and microenvironmental conditions were characterized during these same periods, including analyses of upper mineral soil samples for total C, N, and C/N ratio. Aggrading stands showed significantly lower soil N than mature forest stands (spring = 0.145% versus 0.165%; summer = 0.146% versus 0.197%; P < 0.001). Topography influenced soil N, with greater availability on lower and north-facing slopes (P < 0.05). Across all stands, C/N was strongly correlated with herb layer composition (spring r = 0.606; summer r = 0.449) and, in mature stands, was a strong predictor of understory richness (linear regression; r 2 = 0.634; P < 0.001), particularly on poorer sites. These results emphasize that changes in soil and vegetation with increased N deposition are likely to be site-specific, even within relatively uniform systems. Understory diversity patterns on less fertile sites or in more mature forests, those systems exhibiting strongest correlations with soil C/N ratios, appear most likely to be affected, whereas edaphic limitations in vigorously growing, aggrading vegetation may be less impacted. Because herbaceous layer interactions are tightly linked to ecosystem-level nutrient dynamics and to woody seedling success, these influences have the potential to significantly alter overstory recruitment patterns and broader ecosystem responses to N deposition. # 2005 Elsevier B.V.
