It has been hypothesized that greater production of total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC) in foliage grown under elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) will result in higher concentrations of defensive compounds in tree leaf litter, possibly leading to reduced rates of decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems of the future. To evaluate the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2on litter chemistry and decomposition, we performed a 111 day laboratory incubation with leaf litter of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloidesMichaux) produced at 36\uffe2\uff80\uff83Pa and 56\uffe2\uff80\uff83Pa CO2and two levels of soil nitrogen (N) availability. Decomposition was quantified as microbially respired CO2and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in soil solution, and concentrations of nonstructural carbohydrates, N, carbon (C), and condensed tannins were monitored throughout the incubation. Growth under elevated atmospheric CO2did not significantly affect initial litter concentrations of TNC, N, or condensed tannins. Rates of decomposition, measured as both microbially respired CO2and DOC did not differ between litter produced under ambient and elevated CO2. Total C lost from the samples was 38\uffe2\uff80\uff83mg\uffe2\uff80\uff83g\uffe2\uff88\uff921litter as respired CO2and 138\uffe2\uff80\uff83mg\uffe2\uff80\uff83g\uffe2\uff88\uff921litter as DOC, suggesting short\uffe2\uff80\uff90term pulses of dissolved C in soil solution are important components of the terrestrial C cycle. We conclude that litter chemistry and decomposition in trembling aspen are minimally affected by growth under higher concentrations of CO2.

Sod cultivation in orchards is a popular management measure but whether it affects soil nutrient condition in different ways, e.g., among different climatic zones or under different soil types, remains unclear. This meta-analysis was conducted to clarify effects of sod cultivation in orchards on soil nutrients (including carbon [C], nitrogen [N], phosphorus [P] and potassium [K]) across China which covers different climatic zones and soil types. Results showed that sod cultivation significantly increased soil organic C (SOC), total and available N, available P and total K contents, but significantly reduced total P and available K contents in orchard soils. These changes of soil nutrients were not a result of cultivation-induced modifications in soil pH and bulk density but instead were probably led by changed nutrient demands and inputs of plants in associated with altered microbial processes. Moreover, climate, edaphic properties and the cultivated grass species apparently affected responses of soil nutrients to sod cultivation. Discrepancies in substrate supply and microbial properties induced by grass cultivations in different systems could have contributed to the observed patterns. Further studies, e.g., simultaneously investigating soil nutrient condition, plant productivity and soil microbial properties, remain needed to improve our understanding of the potential mechanisms by which sod cultivation could change soil nutrient conditions.", "keywords": ["2.

However, few studies have comprehensively assessed the effects of straw incorporation on net global warming potential (NGWP) considering both emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) and accumulation of SOC in Northeast China, the most important agricultural regions across the nation. An ongoing straw incorporation experiment was initiated in a maize cropping system of Northeast China from 2010, including three treatments: no straw incorporation (CK), incorporation of maize straw at a low level of 4000\u00a0kg\u00a0ha \u22121 (S 4 ), and at a high level of 8000\u00a0kg\u00a0ha \u22121 (S 8 ). At 2015, the crop yield was significantly elevated (11% and 21% for S 4 and S 8 , respectively) by the straw additions resulting from improved soil fertility. During the growing season of 2015, we found that the straw additions did not affect seasonal patterns of the N 2 O and CH 4 , but changed their seasonal magnitudes. Averaged over this period, CH 4 flux was very low based on its GWP, and straw incorporation tended to reduce the CH 4 emissions (6.6, 3.6 and 4.3\u00a0kg CO 2 eq\u00a0ha \u22121 for CK, S 4 and S 8 , respectively); while straw incorporation significantly enhanced N 2 O emissions with the value of 429, 590 and 746\u00a0kg CO 2 eq\u00a0ha \u22121 for CK, S 4 and S 8 , respectively. On the other hand, a significantly linear relationship (SOC sequestration rate\u00a0=\u00a00.29\u00a0\u00d7\u00a0annual\u00a0C input\u20130.57, R 2 \u00a0=\u00a00.99, P\u00a0 \u00a00.05) was detected between annual straw C input and SOC sequestration rate over the 5-year cycles, indicating the soil we studied was still not C-saturated at least during the experimental interval. More notably, the C conversion rate (29%, the slope of the equation) was generally larger than the values reported in other region of China. These results implied and confirmed that the soil of Northeast China possessed greater potentials to sequestrate external C. Taken together, the SOC accumulation accounted for major portion of the NGWP and counteracted the extra emissions of GHGs (492, \u22121183 and \u22123040\u00a0kg CO 2 eq ha \u22121 for NGWP of CK, S 4 and S 8 , respectively). Therefore, the agricultural practise of straw incoporation was strongly recommended to be adopted in Northeat China to improve the soil productivity and simultaneously mitigate the negative influence of GHG emissions.", "keywords": ["2.

Sediment removal from these degraded playa wetlands restores water storage volume. However, the effects of this restoration practice on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) concentrations and C sequestration potential in playas has not been determined. One of the most important wetland systems and intensively cultivated regions in North America, the Rainwater Basin (RWB) of Nebraska, contained over 4000 playas but has lost 90% of them due to agricultural activities. Our objective was to examine the effects of sediment removal on wetland C and N concentrations and determine subsequent C sequestration potential. We also were interested in determining the importance of the presence of wetlands on the landscape to C sequestration given the loss of wetlands that has occurred. We hypothesized that sediment removal might decrease C sequestration potential and that the presence of wetlands on the landscape provides important C sequestration sites. To accomplish these objectives we sampled 60 playas and their immediate watersheds (20 each from reference condition, cropland, and restored through sediment removal) in 2013 and 2014 by coring soil/sediments (mollisols) to a depth of 50\u00a0cm. Restored playas contained 29% lower C and N in the top 5\u00a0cm than in reference and cropland land uses. The C in the top 5\u00a0cm was also 36% higher in the wetland than in the watershed. There were no differences in C and N among land uses/landscape positions at depths >5\u00a0cm. However, because restored playas had sediment removed, in some cases down to the clay pan of the historic playa soil surface, on an areal basis, restored playas stored 21% more soil organic carbon (SOC) in deeper horizons (25\u201350\u00a0cm) than reference or cropland conditions. Overall, SOC was similar among restored, cropland and reference wetlands to a 50\u00a0cm depth, indicating that sediment removal does not have a negative effect on C sequestration potential. On average, SOC was 15% higher in playas than in adjacent uplands, demonstrating the importance of playa wetlands on the landscape to C sequestration.

In Poland soils derived from sands occupy about 50% of agricultural area. Productivity of the soils depend on the soil properties that vary in the scale of field. This study aimed at determining and mapping the within-field variation of soil physical and chemical properties and grain yield of oats, rye, oats and triticale in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2015, respectively. The experiment was set up in a field (200\u00a0\u00d7\u00a050\u00a0m) on sandy soil in Trzebieszow (region Podlasie, Poland). The soil measurements included sand, silt, clay, and organic carbon (SOC) contents, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH in the topsoil (0\u201310\u00a0cm) and subsoil (30\u201340\u00a0cm) layers in 2001, and water content and bulk density in the topsoil layer in spring and summer 2002\u20132003. The yields of oats were assessed in 2001 and 2003 and those of rye and triticale in 2002 and 2015, respectively. The soil properties and cereal yields were determined at 33\u201355 points in a grid evenly covering the whole field area. The results were analyzed using classic statistics and geostatistics by constructing semivariograms and 2D mapping by Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW). The cereal grain yields were significantly positively correlated with the topsoil water content (SWC) (r\u00a0=\u00a00.295\u20130.711), clay content (r\u00a0=\u00a00.081\u20130.174), and SOC in the subsoil (r\u00a0=\u00a00.208\u20130.271) and CEC in both layers (r\u00a0=\u00a00.123\u20130.298) and negatively correlated with bulk density (BD) (r\u00a0=\u00a0\u20130.065 to \u22120.279). The spatial dependence determined by the \u201cnugget-to-sill\u201d ratio was moderate or weak for the silt and clay content, CEC, and pH (29\u201379%) and strong for SOC, BD, SWC, and crop yield (0.2\u201313.2%). The effective range of the spatial dependence for all studied quantities varied from 9.9 to 120\u00a0m. The cereal yields were positively and significantly correlated between all study years (r\u00a0=\u00a00.141\u20130.734), which indicates inter-annual similarity in their spatial distribution. The 2D maps based on the IDW allowed assessing how gradual or sharp the changes in the studied quantities from one place to another are. Similar spatial patterns of the SWC, SOC and CEC, and crop yields were observed. This is of importance in precise and sustainable field management aimed at increasing and aligning spatial crop productivity of the studied low-productivity sandy soils that will have to be used in crop production due to the current shortage of land resources and food supplies on a global scale.", "keywords": ["2.

Few studies have determined the effects of farming practices on the recalcitrant and labile fractions of SOC at depth in a Mediterranean Vertisol. Our objective was to determine the effects of tillage, crop rotation and N fertilization on labile and recalcitrant SOC fractions and characterize d13C in a soil profile (0\u2013120 cm) from a long-term experiment established in 1986 on rainfed Mediterranean Vertisols in southern Spain. The following treatments were studied: conventional tillage (CT) vs. no-tillage (NT); three crop rotations (wheat [Triticum aestivum L.]\u2013chickpea [Cicer arietinum L.], wheat\u2013sunflower [Helianthus annuus L.] and wheat\u2013faba-bean [Vicia faba L.]); and two N fertilizer application rates (0 and 100 kg N ha-1 ).

Throughout the experiment, the SOC content was greater in surface than in deep layers. The NT resulted in a greater SOC content than CT (10.7 Mg ha-1 and 8 Mg ha-1, respectively) in the most superficial soil layer. The SOC content was greater in the recalcitrant fraction than in the labile fraction (62% and 38% of total SOC, respectively). The recalcitrant SOC fraction was greater under CT than under NT. In the uppermost 15 cm, the labile organic C fraction was greater in the NT treatments than in the CT treatments because tillage resulted in a greater mineralization of the least stable forms of SOC. The influence of N rate and crop rotation on SOC was very low. The stable C isotopic composition (d13C) was greater at depth than at the surface for both total SOC and the recalcitrant fraction. The labile fraction had more 13C than the recalcitrant fraction. The d13C value was greater under CT than under NT for both soil fractions. Tillage system exerted a notable influence in both soil fractions and therefore in the organic matter quality since the labile fraction is an indicator of this quality.", "keywords": ["2.

To understand the effects of residue management on N cycle processes, we conducted a field study that included three treatments. These were a control without N fertilizer (CK), 15N-labelled urea (UR), and 15N-labelled urea\u202f+\u202fwheat straw (URS). Nitrogen immobilized in the top soil layer (0\u201320\u202fcm) in the urea only treatment tended to decrease after the basal application and the second top dressing, but increased after the first top dressing, whereas the urea\u202f+\u202fstraw treatment increased immobilization up to the second top dressing, before decreasing towards the end of the study. The addition of wheat straw led to a 24% reduction in ammonia loss after the basal application, corresponding well to lower soil extractable ammonium contents. The N uptake by the plant in the urea\u202f+\u202fstraw treatment corresponded to 25% of applied N, which was higher than the 20% recorded in the urea only treatment. At harvest, 31% of the applied N was found in the 0\u201360\u202fcm soil layer after the addition of wheat straw, whereas there was only 25% without straw addition. The results showed that 45% applied N was unaccounted for when wheat straw was added, compared to 55% unaccounted for without wheat straw.

However, improvements in terms of yield and soil organic carbon (SOC) under CA are slow and variable and many small-scale farmers are unable to buffer themselves against potential short-term financial losses. In this study we examined the effects of CA-related management practices on SOC sequestration and productivity at two medium-term sites on a sandy soil (eight year trial) and clay soil (six years) in maize producing areas of South Africa. Using field data, current input costs and market prices for crops, we calculated the gross margin for each system. Treatments compared conventional ploughing under maize monoculture with reduced tillage, intercropping and crop rotation. On the clay soil, SOC was increased under reduced tillage (57.6\u202ft C ha\u22121) compared to conventional tillage (54.9\u202ft C ha\u22121) while there was no difference for the sandy soil (19.7\u202ft C ha\u22121 average across treatments). Profitability was most strongly influenced by seasonal rainfall, but was higher on the sandy soil than the clay soil, with an average gross margin of R11,344 ha\u22121 and R5,686 ha\u22121, respectively. This study has demonstrated that while certain CA practices can create site-specific benefits for farmers, it is highly dependent on local weather and soil conditions.

The objective of this study was to quantify the long-term (7 yr) impact of C input on the SOC content of four soil aggregate size classes (large macroaggregates; small macroaggregates; microaggregates, silt plus clay fraction) and in explicit SOC fractions (free light fraction, free LF; intra-aggregate particulate organic matter, iPOM; mineral-associated matter, mSOM) within the top 40\u00a0cm of soil in a wheat\u2013maize double cropping system in Northwest China. Four treatments were examined: (i) no return (control); (ii) return of wheat straw only (WR); (iii) return of maize straw only (MR); and (iV) return of both maize and wheat straw (MR-WR).

The inclusion of grass as cover crops during the winter season could be a sustainable strategy to increase crop intensification in sequences where soybean predominates, helping to maintain soil fertility, organic matter levels and enhance soil physical properties. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of 8 years of sustainable crop intensification (by increasing the proportion of cereals in crop rotations) on soil organic carbon, macro- and micronutrients associated with granulometric fractions of different lability in a Typic Argiudoll of the Rolling Pampa, Argentina.

The intensification sequence indices (ISI) were 0.39, 0.69, 0.55 and 0.64 for S-S, S-CC-S, M-S-W/S and M-CC-S-W/S, respectively. The carbon measured in the coarse particulate fraction (Pcf) in the 0\u20135\u202fcm soil depth was 3 times larger in S-CC-S than in S-S.

Among the carbon fractions studied, only the carbon measured in the Pcf and the easy mineralizable carbon estimated by the soil respiration in the first soil layer (0\u20135\u202fcm), were positively correlated with the ISI. In the present study, 8 years under sustainable crop intensification were sufficient to show changes in the mineral associated fraction (Maf).

Using meta-analysis, this study examined the effect of cover crop species, quality and quantity of biomass, and residue management on response ratios (RRs) of cover crops to no cover crop on CO2 and N2O emissions following cash crops. All cover crop species increased CO2 emissions, but reduced N2O emissions compared with no cover crop, except legumes which increased N2O emissions. Cover crop biomass explained 63% of variability in increased CO2 emissions and 55% of variability in decreased N2O emissions. Both CO2 and N2O emissions decreased polynomially with increased cover crop biomass C/N ratio, with greater rate of decline for legumes than nonlegumes. Cover crop residue incorporated into the soil increased CO2 and N2O emissions compared with the residue placed at surface or removed from the soil. Cover crops emitted lower CO2 and N2O emissions than no cover crops in silty loam and sandy clay loam soils, respectively, compared to clay loam and silty clay loam soils. Both soil organic carbon and total nitrogen increased with cover crop compared to no cover crop. Although CO2 and N2O emissions varied with cover crop species, using legume and nonlegume cover crop mixture to enhance residue C/N ratio compared to legumes and placing the residue at the surface instead of incorporating into the soil can reduce GHG emissions.

In an effort to objectively evaluate how cover crops affect soil properties and crop production across climates and systems, we compiled data from 269 studies that compared cover crop treatments versus no cover crop controls. We then used t-tests and unbalanced analysis of variation tests to evaluate cover crop-related effects on 38 indicators of soil health and productivity. The t-test analysis indicated that cover cropping caused significant changes in 28 of 38 indicators, with differences seen for all physical parameters and most indicators associated with biological and environmental measurements. The unbalanced analysis of variation test allowed us to identify a hierarchy of most to least important environment and management factors for each indicator. Using this hierarchy, we developed a calculator that allows users to evaluate how cover crop usage affects 13 key indicators, including cash crop yield, weed pressure, soil aggregate stability, soil organic carbon, soil nitrogen, and infiltration rates. The calculator requires only four inputs \u2013 climatic region, soil texture group, cash crop rotation, and cover crop type \u2013 and as output provides mean percent change for each indicator based on the selected factors. The analyses produced in this study provide new insight into specific soil health and productivity responses to cover cropping, and the corresponding web-based calculator will help to ensure that soil health measurements from the field and laboratory are useful to farmers, planners, and regulators.

A better understanding of how tillage practices and CC species affect N2O emissions is therefore needed for the development of productive agroecosystems that contribute to climate change mitigation. The objectives of this three-year (2015\u20132017) field experiment on a Udertic Haplustalf soil in the Po Valley were to compare N2O emissions and crop yield of soybean under NT and CT, and to examine how contrasting residues from two CCs (rye, Secale cereale L. vs hairy vetch, Vicia villosa Roth) affect N2O emissions in NT soybean and maize. We hypothesized that N2O emissions would be lower with NT than with CT and with rye residues than with vetch ones. Nitrous oxide was continuously sampled using automatic chambers during three periods (emergence, N-fixation and maturity) over the soybean-cropping season in 2015 and during the entire cropping maize season in 2017.

Overall, N2O emissions in NT were 40\u201355% lower than in CT, for both in situ measurements (Period I) and modelled estimations. These differences could be ascribed to the higher water-filled pore space (WFPS) and soil nitrate availability in CT than in NT.

In this study, we attempted to develop PTFs for the total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and total potassium (TK) concentrations in three typical pedo-climatic areas of China (Fujian Province, Jiangsu Province and Qilian Mountains) with diverse climate, terrain and soil types. A series of linear PTFs were developed to quantify the effect of terrain and climate on the predictive relations between the soil nutrients and other measured soil properties and environmental variables. In addition, digital soil mapping (DSM) based on the random forest (RF) technique was performed to test the hypothesis that the best-fit PTFs could be extrapolated, based on soil maps and environmental variables, to describe regional soil variations in the soil nutrients. The root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the best-fit PTFs for TN, TP and TK ranged from 0.21 to 0.79 g kg\u22121, 0.20 to 0.58 g kg\u22121, and 3.68 to 5.00 g kg\u22121, respectively. Different RMSEs were produced by DSM, namely 0.37-1.89 g kg\u22121, 0.19\u22120.56 g kg\u22121 and 3.79-4.83 g kg\u22121 for TN, TP and TK, respectively. PTFs provided a sound basis for database compilation if the soil properties were highly correlated. However, the extrapolation of best-fit PTFs to regional scales yielded greater errors than those produced by DSM. The comparison results reveal the limitations of PTFs and suggest that their performance could be improved by using environmental covariates or by fitting data in areas with relatively homogeneous soil landscapes. The DSM techniques may provide satisfactory alternatives to predict soil data at both regional and plot scales.", "keywords": ["Digital soil mapping", "Total phosphorus", "Total potassium", "0401 agriculture", " forestry", " and fisheries", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "Total nitrogen", "15.

In Mediterranean woody crops, temporary cover crops (CC) effectively reduce soil erosion and increase total and protected soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions. However, the effects of CC in olive groves on the preferential loss of organic carbon (Corg) fractions remains poorly understood. To address this issue, in four plots with seeded CC and two tilled plots (CT) in a Spanish olive grove, the unprotected and protected Corg fractions were measured in soil and sediments over the course of a hydrological year. The sediment/soil C enrichment ratios (ERSOC) were calculated, and results analysed considering the rainfall regimes of the site: dry (DS), heavy-rainy (HRS) and rainy (RS). Total, unprotected and protected Corg contents in the top 5 cm soil of CC plots were 46 %, 88.4 % and 28.5 %, respectively, higher than those of CT. 79.7 % and 70.3 % of the annual sediment yield (SY) was collected during December in CC and CT plots, respectively. Soil loss in CC plots ( = 9.2 Mg ha\u20131 yr\u20131) was significantly lower (\u221255.6 %) than that in CT plots. Despite that the average eroded Corg was higher in the CT ( = 222 kg C ha\u20131 yr\u20131) compared to CC ( = 148 kg C ha\u20131 yr\u20131) plots differences were not significant due to the higher Corg concentration in the sediment from CC plots. The highest proportion of eroded Corg (44%\u201345%) corresponded to the physically protected fraction. The highest ERSOC (1.99 and 2.04 for CC and CT, respectively) was recorded in DS whereas the lowest was in the RS (0.90) and HRS (0.96) seasons. The mean ERSOC were of 1.00 and 0.92 in the CC and CT plots, with no significant difference. The fact that most of the SY was recorded in one month, when CC plants were not fully developed, might explain the ERSOC at 1, and why their presence did not modify it. This study demonstrates that CC favours greater total, unprotected and protected Corg fractions in the topsoil, promoting soil C sequestration. The asynchrony between the periods of full development of the CC plants and those with the highest rainfall erosivity prevented any selectiveness of the eroded Corg. Thus, fast-growing CC plant species with short life-cycles are recommended, as well as adequate management to promote self-seeding avoiding soil disturbance for seeding in erosion prone seasons.

However, few studies have concurrently explored changes in biomass yield, yield stability and soil C and N content under different cropping systems targeting biorefinery. In this study, 10 different cropping systems were simultaneously investigated from 2012 to 2017 in central Denmark on a loamy sand soil, including (1) two continuous monocultures of annual crops, (2) one optimized crop rotation, (3) five intensively fertilized perennial grasses, and (4) two grass-legume mixtures without nitrogen (N) fertilization. Our results showed that biomass yield and yield stability differed highly across the cropping systems, highlighting crop-specific characteristics. Of the 10 cropping systems, tall fescue significantly increased soil C and N content at 0\u201320 cm depth, while sustaining high biomass yield and yield stability. There was no clear relationship between biomass yield, yield stability and changes in soil C and N content, challenging some recent findings on the conflicts between increasing biomass yield and protecting soil C and N content. Indeed, the lack of relationships suggest that there is considerable potential to increase biomass yield and yield stability without compromising soil C and N content through selecting proper cropping systems and managements. Altogether, our results underscore how crop-specific documentation of biomass yield, yield stability and changes in soil C and N content on the same experimental platform can advance the understanding of sustainable agriculture for biorefineries, although long-term continuous observations are still required to better clarify the relations between them.

Total soil erosion was 56 % less in NT than in CT although surface water discharge was higher in NT. NT had a clear effect on the topsoil physical structure by decreasing the pore size and increasing soil aggregate size. The total soil carbon stock in the 700 kg m\u22122 mineral topsoil layer (approx. 0\u221260 cm layer) was slightly lower in NT (108 \u00b1 12 Mg C ha-1) than in CT (118 \u00b1 9.0 Mg C ha-1) due to lower carbon content of the 10\u221230 cm layer in NT. In NT the proportion of large macroaggregates was higher and more organic carbon was bound to large macroaggregates in the 0\u221210 cm layer which may be related to the higher abundance of earthworms in NT. The results showed that NT is an effective method to reduce erosion rates but other means to increase carbon input especially below the topsoil layer are likely required to achieve a significant increase in the carbon stock of boreal clay soils.

Fifty-eight isolates were affiliated with recently described genospecies gsF-2, represented by R. laguerreae FB206T, whereas six isolates were closely related to gsB and two isolates might belong to gsA. Two isolates assigned to R. hidalgonense and another two non-nodulating strains could not be assigned to any validly defined species and possibly belong to a new rhizobial lineage. Interestingly, R. laguerreae strains were commonly found at all sampling sites, suggesting that they could be the main symbionts of faba beans in Greek soils. According to the phylogenies of two symbiosis-related genes (nodC and nifH), all nodulating isolates belonged to symbiovar (sv.) viciae harboring four distinct nodC gene haplotypes and they were grouped into two clades together with strains assigned to R. laguerreae and genospecies of R. leguminosarum isolated from other countries and continents. This is the first report that R. hidalgonense strains belong to sv. viciae. No correlation was observed between the nodC haplotypes, geographic origin and chromosomal background of the isolates in the study.", "keywords": ["MLSA", "DNA", " Bacterial", "0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "Genes", " Essential", "Greece", "Viciae", "Sequence Analysis", " DNA", "DNA Fingerprinting", "Vicia faba", "03 medical and health sciences", "Symbiovar", "Genes", " Bacterial", "RNA", " Ribosomal", " 16S", "Root Nodules", " Plant", "Symbiosis", "Phylogeny", "Soil Microbiology", "Multilocus Sequence Typing", "Rhizobium"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.syapm.2020.126149"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Systematic%20and%20Applied%20Microbiology", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.syapm.2020.126149", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.syapm.2020.126149", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.syapm.2020.126149"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2020-11-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.tplants.2021.03.005", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-04T16:17:29Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2021-04-22", "title": "How roots and shoots communicate through stressful times", "description": "When plants face an environmental stress such as water deficit, soil salinity, high temperature, or shade, good communication between above- and belowground organs is necessary to coordinate growth and development.

Moreover, compared to the conventional total dissolved elements measurement, DGT technique allowed to quantify 7 out of 12 labile elements whereas only 3 out of 12 dissolved elements were quantified.

These ecosystems are located at Alexandra Fiord (79\uffc2\uffb0N) on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, and span a soil water gradient; dry, mesic, and wet tundra.

Experimental warming during the growing season increased net C uptake by \uffe2\uff88\uffbc12% in dry tundra, but reduced net C uptake by \uffe2\uff88\uffbc20% in wet tundra primarily because of greater rates of Re as opposed to lower rates of GEP.

We employ the Behaviour Change Wheel and its capability, opportunity, motivation-behaviour (COM-B) model. Data were collected via an online survey among 196 Dutch and German arable farmers. We find that trust in microbial applications is an important driver and that lack of knowledge and professional support are barriers for the adoption of microbial applications. On this basis, we recommend three interventions: i) norm creation and enablement, ii) education and learning, and iii) trust building by providing incentives. The acceptance and success of a behavioural intervention depends on the choice of the interventionist.

Worldwide, one-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted along the food supply chain, primary production and food processing representing the most significant loses. Therefore, the need to achieve zero waste production schemes is becoming a priority to meet Sustainable Development Goals. Increasing evidence points towards vegetable food waste as a rich source of a wide array of carbohydrate structures and fibres providing the opportunity to identify and develop alternative approaches to valorize agro-food waste. [Scope and approach] This review describes the valorization of vegetable waste and by-products via production of (novel) substrates targeted to gut microbiota modulation, emphasizing the importance of raw materials and structural-functional properties of carbohydrates. Furthermore, we propose a novel framework for the rational selection of vegetable sources with potential prebiotic activity, based on machine learning and other computational tools applied to available literature and public database information. [Key findings and conclusions] Integration of the body of knowledge within the field of vegetable food waste valorization, from different perspectives, allows a rational selection of carbohydrate-based substrates with promising prebiotic activities. By exploring the interactions among dietary fibre and gut microbial ecosystems using computational tools fed with structural, functional and genomic data, we can identify substrates with potential to selectively stimulate gut commensals, in agreement with experimental evidence. Our approach establishes a new framework that can be extended to a wide range of commensal microbes and carbohydrate structures.

Winter-Dominant Forage Systems", "description": "Field studies were conducted over 5 years on two dairy farms in southern Queensland to evaluate the impacts of zero-tillage, nitrogen (N) fertiliser and legumes on a winter-dominant forage system based on raingrown oats. Oats was able to be successfully established using zero-tillage methods, with no yield penalties and potential benefits in stubble retention over the summer fallow. N fertiliser, applied at above industry-standard rates (140 vs. 55 kg/ha.crop) in the first 3 years, increased forage N concentration significantly and had residual effects on soil nitrate-N at both sites. At one site, crop yield was increased by 10 kg DM/ha.kg fertiliser N applied above industry-standard rates. The difference between sites in fertiliser response reflected contrasting soil and fertiliser history. There was no evidence that modifications to oats cropping practices (zero-tillage and increased N fertiliser) increased surface soil organic carbon (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9310 cm) in the time frame of the present study. When oats was substituted with annual legumes, there were benefits in improved forage N content of the oat crop immediately following, but legume yield was significantly inferior to oats. In contrast, the perennial legume Medicago sativa was competitive in biomass production and forage quality with oats at both sites and increased soil nitrate-N levels following termination. However, its contribution to winter forage was low at 10% of total production, compared with 40% for oats, and soil water reserves were significantly reduced at one site, which had an impact on the following oat production. The study demonstrated that productive grazed oat crops can be grown using zero tillage and that increased N fertiliser is more consistent in its effect on N concentration than on forage yield. A lucerne ley provides a strategy for raising soil nitrate-N concentration and increasing overall forage productivity, although winter forage production is reduced.

However, most of the relevant studies are being conducted on a macro scale, so the understanding of the processes at a fundamental level remains poor. In attempt to further elucidate the process of cavitation-assisted water treatment on a scale of a single bubble, the present paper numerically addresses interaction between a collapsing microbubble and a nearby compliant structure, that mechanically and structurally resembles a bacterial cell. A fluid-structure interaction methodology is employed, where compressible multiphase flow is considered and the bacterial cell wall is modeled as a multi-layered shell structure. Simulations are performed for two selected model structures, each resembling the main structural features of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial cell envelopes. The contribution of two independent dimensionless geometric parameters is investigated, namely the bubble-cell distance \u03b4 and their size ratio \u03c2. Three characteristic modes of bubble collapse dynamics and four modes of spatiotemporal occurrence of peak local stresses in the bacterial cell membrane are identified throughout the parameter space considered. The former range from the development of a weak and thin jet away from the cell to spherical bubble collapses. The results show that local stresses arising from bubble-induced loads can exceed poration thresholds of cell membranes and that bacterial cell damage could be explained solely by mechanical effects in absence of thermal and chemical ones. Based on this, the damage potential of a single microbubble for bacteria eradication is estimated, showing a higher resistance of the Gram-positive model organism to the nearby bubble collapse. Microstreaming is identified as the primary mechanical mechanism of bacterial cell damage, which in certain cases may be enhanced by the occurrence of shock waves during bubble collapse. The results are also discussed in the scope of bacteria eradication by cavitation treatment on a macro scale, where processes of hydrodynamic and ultrasonic cavitation are being employed.", "keywords": ["bubble dynamics", "dinamika mehur\u010dkov", "bubble dynamics", " cavitation", " bacteria", " fluid\u2013structure interaction", " water treatment", "Short Communication", "QC221-246", "Bubble dynamics", "kavitacija", "info:eu-repo/classification/udc/532.528", "0404 agricultural biotechnology", "cavitation", "Water treatment", "Ultrasonics", "bacteria", "QD1-999", "interakcija fluid \u2013 struktura", "Cavitation", "Microbubbles", "fluid\u2013structure interaction", "Bacteria", "Cell Membrane", "Acoustics.

Seed germination of all species increased with experimental warming, suggesting that the present treeline may in part result from unsuccessful recruitment under cold conditions.
2 Growth, biomass and survivorship of seedlings of treeline species transplanted into tundra were largely unaffected by experimental warming. However, transplanted seedlings of three species (Betula papyrifera, Picea glauca and Populus tremuloides) grew more when below\uffe2\uff80\uff90ground competition with the extant community was reduced. All three measures of transplant performance were greater in shrub tundra than in the less productive tussock or heath tundra. Establishment of trees in tundra may thus be prevented by low resource availability and competition.
3 Two species (Alnus crispa and Populus balsamifera) had low seed germination and survivorship of germinated seeds; transplants of these species did not respond to the manipulations and lost biomass following transplanting into tundra. Isolated populations of these two species north of the present treeline in arctic Alaska probably became established during mid\uffe2\uff80\uff90Holocene warming rather than in recent times.
4 Of all the species studied here, Picea glauca was the most likely to invade intact upland tundra. Its seeds had the highest germination rates and it was the only species whose seedlings survived subsequently. Furthermore, transplanted seedlings of Picea glauca had relatively high survivorship and positive growth in tundra, especially in treatments that increased air temperature or nutrient availability, two factors likely to increase with climate warming.

Ecological soil MNP hazard assessment is thus crucial for a proper risk assessment and the development of environmental protection regulations. However, current hazard assessment testing approaches are hampered by the absence of guidelines, harmonization, and standard reference materials. This article discusses the need for improving testing approaches and provides specific recommendations to increase the relevance and reliability of ecotoxicity data. Our recommendations focus on environmentally relevant experimental designs, guidelines for microplastic test materials selection and characterization, analysis of MNPs and additives in soil and biota, and a proposal for relevant soil physicochemical properties to be assessed during ecotoxicity testing. This article brings novelty to the field of ecological hazard assessment of MNPs in soil by providing solutions and specific recommendations much needed in this field.", "keywords": ["13.

Yet, there is still no generalised approach to address such complexity in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) studies. Energy flux dynamics in ecological networks provide the theoretical underpinning of multitrophic BEF relationships. Accordingly, we propose the quantification of energy fluxes in food webs as a powerful, universal tool for understanding ecosystem functioning in multitrophic systems spanning different ecological scales. Although the concept of energy flux in food webs is not novel, its application to BEF research remains virtually untapped, providing a framework to foster new discoveries into the determinants of ecosystem functioning in complex systems.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "0301 basic medicine", "ecological stoichiometry", "Food Chain", "food web", "interaction network", "Biodiversity", "15.

We here introduce basic principles of temporal dynamics in ecology. We figured out essential features that describe temporal dynamics by finding similarities among about 60 ecological concepts and theories. We found that considering the hierarchically nested structure of complexity in temporal patterns (i.e. hierarchical complexity) can well describe the fundamental nature of temporal dynamics by expressing which patterns are observed at each scale. Across all ecological levels, driver\u2013response relationships can be temporally variant and dependent on both short- and long-term past conditions.

Part 1: Fragility relations and implemented seismic intensity measures", "description": "\u00a9 2019 Elsevier Ltd Natural gas (NG) pipeline networks constitute a critical means of energy transportation, playing a vital role in the economic development of modern societies. The associated socio-economic and environmental impact, in case of seismically-induced severe damage, highlights the importance of a rational assessment of the structural integrity of this infrastructure against seismic hazards. Up to date, this assessment is mainly performed by implementing empirical fragility relations, which associate the repair rate, i.e. the number of repairs/damages per unit length of the pipeline, with a seismic intensity measure. A limited number of analytical fragility curves that compute probabilities of failure for various levels of predefined damage states have also been proposed, recently. In the first part of this paper, a thorough critical review of available fragility relations for the vulnerability assessment of buried NG pipelines is presented. The paper focuses on the assessment against seismically-induced transient ground deformations, which, under certain circumstances, may induce non-negligible deformations and strains on buried NG pipelines, especially in cases of pipelines crossing heterogeneous soil sites. Particular emphasis is placed on the efficiency of implemented seismic intensity measures to be evaluated or measured in the field and, more importantly, to correlate with observed structural damage on buried NG pipelines. In the second part of this paper, alternative methods for the analytical evaluation of the fragility of steel NG pipelines under seismically-induced transient ground deformations are presented. Through the discussion, recent advancements in the field are highlighted, whilst acknowledged gaps are identified, providing recommendations for future research.", "keywords": ["Seismic intensity measures", "Natural gas pipelines", "Steel pipelines", "13.
