A major impediment to agricultural erosion management in Finland has been the lack of high-resolution country-scale data on the spatial distribution of erosion. As a result, erosion mitigation measures have been targeted with limited information. Therefore, we evaluated the performance of the widely used RUSLE model against measurements from experimental fields, used the model to produce a two-metre resolution crop and management independent erosion estimate for all agricultural lands of Finland, and analysed erosion over different spatial scales. RUSLE showed skill (R2 = 0.76, NSE = 0.72) in estimating the observed erosion at experimental fields (55\u20132100 kg ha\u22121 yr\u22121) but with large errors (mean: \u2212134 kg ha\u22121 yr\u22121, 90% range: \u2212711 and 218 kg ha\u22121 yr\u22121). The evaluation, however, suggests that RUSLE performs similarly in Finland as elsewhere. The analysis of the developed country-scale data, in turn, revealed high erosion regions, and it showed how erosion varies between sub-catchment and between and within field parcels. For example, high-erosion areas concentrated in the proximity of water bodies were identified at the sub-catchment and within-field parcel scales. Altogether, the results demonstrate the predictive skill of RUSLE in high-latitude conditions, fill the earlier data gap in country-scale erosion, provide information for targeting erosion mitigation measures, and considerably improve the understanding of the spatial distribution of erosion in Finland. ; 2023", "keywords": ["550", "500", "Agriculture", "Water protection", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "Podzols", "Soil erosion", "Histosols", "0401 agriculture", " forestry", " and fisheries", "RUSLE", "Gleysols", "Regosols", "Stagnosols", "ta218", "Finland"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geodrs.2023.e00610"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Geoderma%20Regional", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.geodrs.2023.e00610", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.geodrs.2023.e00610", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.geodrs.2023.e00610"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2023-03-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.geodrs.2023.e00716", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:17:06Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2023-09-27", "title": "Stakeholders' point of view on access to soil knowledge in France.

The aim of this paper is to better understand the access to soil knowledge in France and identify opportunities for further improvement, with a particular focus on the difference of point of view between six categories of stakeholders. This study is based on 1951 responses from a participatory stakeholders\u2019 consultation we conducted in France. Our results showed that most stakeholders considered the knowledge they have access to as not adapted to their needs. They also expressed that knowledge sharing between stakeholders was not sufficient. To improve access to soil knowledge, stakeholders suggested adapting at the territorial level the content of soil knowledge shared and transferred, as well as improving ways of sharing and transfer soil knowledge. Additionally, stakeholders valued different exchange networks based on their type of knowledge. Stakeholders with more theoretical soil knowledge (public authorities, NGOs, researchers) stated being more interested in networks between policy, science and society. However, networks with farmers and advisors were more favored by stakeholders with empirical soil knowledge. Considering our findings, in order to strengthen knowledge transfer and sharing, we encourage the promotion of the profession of scientific mediator, as well as the implementation of Living Labs and Lighthouse farms to bring together various stakeholders at a local level towards innovation, training and education. This will ensure a transition towards a more sustainable soil management in Europe.", "keywords": ["multi-actor consultation", "partage des connaissances", "[SDE] Environmental Sciences", "vision des acteurs", "Knowledge sharing", "consultation multi-acteurs", "visi\u00f3n de los actores", "Exchange networks", "consulta multiactor", "Knowledge transfer", "stakeholder perspective.", "333", "12.

Its roots have been used in Chinese medicine for at least 2000 years. Environmental stress has been used as a strategy to optimize yield of important compounds in other crops. The objective of this pot study was to investigate the combined effects of fertilizer and. water-stress on total saikosaponin a (SSa) and saikosaponin d (SSd) yield from B. chinense. The 2 x 3 factoral design included two levels of water-stress and three fertilizer amounts. The results showed that mild water-stress significantly increased the SSa and SSd content in B. chinense roots, but decreased root biomass. Total SSa and SSd yield were lower in the water-stressed treatment compared to the well-watered treatment. There was significant interaction between the water and fertilizer treatments and the negative effect of water-stress on total SSa and SSd yield could be partly mitigated through the application of N and P fertilizer. In conclusion, results from this study show that the application of proper amounts of fertilizer are important for medicinal plant production in semi-arid and and regions, and that it is possible to increase total SSa and SSd yield through the combined use of fertilizer and properly timed exposure to water-stress.

The majority of households continue to rely on farming to meet their needs. However the country is also going through an important transition as the market extends into formerly remote rural areas. Drawing on surveys of nine villages in three districts, the paper elucidates how households are managing the transition from subsistence to market. Agriculturally resilient communities with considerable potential are contrasted with villages where the scope for increases in farm output are sharply constrained. The growing role of non-farm activities is highlighted and a distinction drawn between `distress' and `progressive' diversification. The paper argues that diversification is propelled by very different forces and has markedly different implications in livelihood terms.

A computational analysis in Finland", "description": "Spatial patterns of land-cover and agricultural operations have clear impacts on soil erosion. Allocating a portion of cultivated area for grass is a widely applied strategy to control erosion. However, it is still unclear how much and where grassed area should be spatially targeted in different landscapes to control erosion efficiently. To address this challenge, we estimate the potential of high-resolution RUSLE-based spatial targeting of grassed areas to improve erosion mitigation in two topographically different catchments in southern Finland. Erosion reductions of 1) policy-based targeting (buffer strips along main streams according to current CAP strategy) were compared with 2) RUSLE-targeted grassed areas (based on the highest computed erosion values within field parcels and sub-catchments). Furthermore, we computationally explored 3) how different rates of optimally located grass areas affected erosion and 4) how the areas could be computationally processed to continuous entities. The erosion reductions were estimated with 2 \u00d7 2 m2 resolution RUSLE computations in all the scenarios. The RUSLE-targeted grassed areas demonstrated greater erosion reductions compared to the policy-based siting of grass areas along riparian fields. With optimal targeting, erosion risks could potentially be reduced up to 24 percentage points (up to 46 % erosion reduction), compared to the buffer strips. Increasing optimally targeted grassed area gradually from 0 to 100 % decreased erosion non-linearly. The largest share of erosion was generated in disproportionally small land areas (\u223c20 % of the land area). The location of the hotspots in relation to the streams varied between the sub-catchments and field parcels. These quantifications demonstrate the potential value of models for targeted landscape scale spatial erosion management. A more comprehensive assessment of erosion mitigation could benefit of improved empirical validation and consideration of other aspects of erosion and sediment transport, such as local drainage ...", "keywords": ["550", "erosion control", "RUSLE", "erosion", "targeting", "siting"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geodrs.2024.e00904"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Geoderma%20Regional", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.geodrs.2024.e00904", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.geodrs.2024.e00904", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.geodrs.2024.e00904"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-03-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.geomorph.2005.05.013", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:17:06Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2005-08-26", "title": "River Channel Response To Short-Term Human-Induced Change In Landscape Connectivity In Andean Ecosystems", "description": "The drainage basin of the Deleg River (88 km(2)), located in the southern Ecuadorian Andes, was studied to assess the geomorphic and hydrologic response of a fluvial system to human-induced environmental change in its contributing area. Historical data on land use, channel morphology and sedimentology were collected, based on a spatial analysis of aerial photographs (1963-1995) and a field survey (2002). Analysis of channel cross-sectional profiles and sedimentological data revealed a major change in morphology and sedimentology of the Deleg River during the past four decades: (i) the active river channel narrowed by over 45%, (ii) the riverbed incised on average by over 1.0 m and (iii) the median grain size of the bed surface decreased from 13.2 cm to 4.7 cm. The spatial pattern of land cover within the Deleg catchment also changed considerably: highly degraded agricultural land in the low-lying areas was abandoned and partially afforested for timber and wood production, whereas secondary upland forest was increasingly cleared for expansion of cropland and pastures. Notwithstanding large changes in the spatial organization of land use within the catchment, the overall land use did not change significantly during the past four decades. This suggests that the response of the Deleg River to land-use change not only depends on the overall land-use change, but also on the spatial pattern of land-use/cover change within the catchment. Although forestation and regeneration of bare gully slopes and floors throughout the catchment only represented a minor part of the total land-use change, these land-use/cover changes had a major impact on the hydrological and sediment connectivity in the landscape.

The mean data across the three years revealed that soil pH was greatest in the ONM treatment (5.80), mineral N level in the INM treatment (197.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0109.0\u00a0mg\u00a0kg\u22121) and exchangeable  K level in both INM and CNM treatments (213.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a081.0 and 209.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a082.0\u00a0mg\u00a0kg\u22121, respectively). Similarly, exchangeable  Ca level was significantly higher in the ONM treatment (749\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0122\u00a0mg\u00a0kg\u22121) followed by the INM treatment (552\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0128\u00a0mg\u00a0kg\u22121), while the CNM treatment registered a 53.0\u201365.0% lower exchangeable  Ca level. Conversely, large accumulation of Bray P was evident (80.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a057.5\u00a0mg\u00a0kg\u22121) in the CNM treatment and the mean level was greater by 36.9% compared to INM treatment and by 236.0% compared to ONM treatment. Application of organic manures enhanced soil organic C (SOC) levels and the greatest level was observed in the ONM treatment (mean 17.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.24\u00a0g\u00a0kg\u22121), followed by the INM treatment (mean 16.6\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.18\u00a0g\u00a0kg\u22121) and lowest in the CNM treatment (mean 15.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0g\u00a0kg\u22121). Lower SOC level in the CNM treatment resulted in decreased soil microbial biomass C (CMIC), acid phosphatase, \u03b2-glucosidase and dehydrogenase activities. The turmeric rhizome yield was consistently higher in the INM treatment (mean 22.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a010.2 Mg ha\u22121) during the three years followed by CNM (mean 20.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a010.4 Mg ha\u22121) and lastly by the ONM treatment (mean 17.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.2 Mg ha\u22121). Similarly, most of the nutrient elements (N, P, K, Mg, Zn) registered significantly higher uptake in the INM treatment followed by CNM and then by ONM. However, the quality of turmeric measured in terms of oleoresin, curcumin, volatile oil and its constituents like \u03b1-phellandrene, pinene, AR Turmeron\u00a0+\u00a0\u03b2 Turmeron and \u03b1-Turmeron did not show any significant variations among the nutrient management systems. Principal component analysis indicated the degree of interdependence of various factors. Overall, the study indicated the distinct possibility of reducing chemical N fertilizer by 50% when applied in combination with organic manure for enhanced soil quality, rhizome yield and nutrient uptake in turmeric.", "keywords": ["2.

They are also a major cause of non-linearity between climate and erosion rates in agricultural systems as noted from alluvial and colluvial studies. New research in the \u2018critical zone\u2019 has shown that we must now treat soil production as an ecologically sensitive variable with implications for soil carbon sequestration. In this review and synthesis paper we present a modified classification of agricultural terraces, review the theoretical background of both terraces and lynchets, and show how new techniques are transforming the study of these widespread and often ancient anthropogenic landforms. The problems of dating terraces and the time-consuming nature of costly surveys has held back the geomorphological and geoarchaeological study of terraces until now. The suite of techniques now available, and reviewed here,includes Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) - Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry, Airborne and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (ALS-TLS); optically stimulated luminescence (OSL and pOSL), portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF), Fourier-transform infra-red analysis (FTIR), phytoliths from plants, and potentially environmental DNA. Three process-related geomorphological questions arise from using this suite of methods; a) can they provide both a chronology of formation and use history, b) can we identify the sources of all the soil components? c) can terrace soil formation and ecosystem services be modelled at the slope to catchment scale? The answers to these questions can also inform the management of the large areas of abandoned and under-used terraces that are resulting from both the economics of farming and rural population changes.

Under climate warming, the cryosphere, defined as the part of Earth's layer characterized by the low temperatures and the presence of frozen water, has been experiencing significant changes. The Arctic cryosphere (e.g., sea ice, snow cover, Greenland ice sheet, permafrost) can store and release pollutants into environments, making Arctic an important temporal sink and source of MPs. Here, we summarized the distributions of MPs in Arctic snow, sea ice, seawater, rivers, and sediments, to illustrate their potential sources, transport pathways, storage and release, and possible effects in this sentinel region. Items concentrations of MPs in snow and ice varied about 1\u20136 orders of magnitude in different regions, which were mostly attributed to the different sampling and measurement methods, and potential sources of MPs. MPs concentrations from Arctic seawater, river/lake water, and sediments also fluctuated largely, ranging from several items of per unit to >40,000 items m\u22123, 100 items m\u22123, and 10,000 items kg\u22121 dw, respectively. Arctic land snow cover can be a temporal storage of MPs, with MPs deposition flux of about (4.9\u201314.26) \u00d7 108 items km\u22122 yr\u22121.

Average storage of MPs in sea ice was estimated to be about 6.1\u00d71018 items, with annual release of about 5.1\u00d71018 items. Atmospheric transport of MPs from long-distance terrestrial sources contributed significantly to MPs deposition in Arctic land snow cover, sea ice and oceanic surface waters. Arctic Great Rivers can flow MPs into the Arctic Ocean. Sea ice can temporally store, transport and then release MPs in the surrounded environment.

Although some soil is naturally enriched with heavy metals (HMs), a series of anthropogenic activities are known to contribute to their redistribution, which may entail potentially harmful environmental and/or human health effects if certain concentrations are exceeded. If this occurs, the implementation of rehabilitation strategies is highly recommended. Although there are many publications dealing with the elimination of HMs using different methodologies, most of those works have been done in laboratories and there are not many comprehensive reviews about the results obtained under field conditions. Throughout this review, we examine the different methodologies that have been used in real scenarios and, based on representative case studies, we present the evolution and outcomes of the remediation strategies applied in real soil-contamination events where legacies of past metal mining activities or mine spills have posed a serious threat for soil conservation. So far, the best efficiencies at field-scale have been reported when using combined strategies such as physical containment and assisted-phytoremediation. We have also introduced the emerging problem of the heavy metal contamination of agricultural soils and the different strategies implemented to tackle this problem. Although remediation techniques used in real scenarios have not changed much in the last decades, there are also encouraging facts for the advances in this field. Thus, a growing number of mining companies publicise in their webpages their soil remediation strategies and efforts; moreover, the number of scientific publications about innovative highly-efficient and environmental-friendly methods is also increasing.

In this regard, properties such as the antioxidant ability to extend food shelf life and light resistance, are of great interest in the production of packaging and mulching films, respectively. These features are obtained by developing blends with pure chemicals and/or natural products as additives. In the present work blend formulations of PLA/PBAT with a walnut shell extract rich in antioxidants were developed and evaluated for their properties in comparison with classic PLA/PBAT. Specifically, natural additives, and most importantly the production process were purposely selected to i) be green and cost-effective; ii) confer antioxidant properties; and iii) improve material performance. To this aim, a walnut shell extract (EWS) with high antioxidant activity was obtained thanks to a novel green and cost-effective microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) procedure. A response surface methodology was utilized to explore how the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity are influenced by varying aqueous ethanol concentration, extraction time, and microwave power. The highest predicted TPC and antioxidant activity were achieved when employing the ideal conditions for Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE): using a mixture of 30\u00a0% ethanol in water, an irradiation time of 120\u00a0s, and a microwave power of 670\u00a0W. The optimized EWS was characterized by HPLC-MS determining qualitative and quantitative data with the identification of flavonoids, fatty acids, and anacardic acids among the main components, responsible for antioxidant activity. The resulting EWS powder was melt-mixed at 140C\u00b0 and 20 RPM with the bio-based PLA/PBAT bioplastic at two different concentrations (0.5 and 1.5 w/w) by forming film specimens. All EWS-based bioplastic films showed increased antioxidant features determined by the DPPH bleaching test, TEAC, and ORAC assays. The films keep the antioxidant capacity even after 7 days of UV-accelerated aging. Remarkably, adding 1.5 % EWS boosted the bioplastic UV light resistance, reducing the abatement of molecular masses by more than 60\u00a0% without affecting mechanical properties.", "keywords": ["H1-99", "Science (General)", "Polyphenols", "02 engineering and technology", "microwave-assisted extraction", "01 natural sciences", "0104 chemical sciences", "Social sciences (General)", "Q1-390", "walnut shells", "Walnut shells", "Response surface methodology", "response surface chemistry", "Microwave-assisted extraction", "UV protection", "agricultural waste", "0210 nano-technology", "Agricultural waste", "Research Article"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://iris.cnr.it/bitstream/20.500.14243/452886/1/Paper.pdf"}, {"href": "https://www.iris.unict.it/bitstream/20.500.11769/588670/1/81_Green3_Green_extraction_green_additives_green_plastics_2024.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24469"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Heliyon", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24469", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24469", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24469"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.ibiod.2018.10.001", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:17:07Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2018-10-11", "title": "Changes of sewage sludge digestate-derived biochar properties after chemical treatments and influence on As(III and V) and Cd(II) sorption", "description": "Abstract   This work seeks to extend the knowledge on the effect of chemical treatment of sewage sludge digestate (SSD)-derived biochar for the As(III and V) and Cd(II) sorption ability using potassium hydroxide (KOH) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

The inlet and outlet were sampled in parallel triplicates over five consecutive days of normal activity. For each triplicate, approximately 1\u00a0m3 of drinking water was filtered with a custom-made device employing 1\u00a0\u03bcm steel filters. The MP abundance was expressed as MP counts per liter (N/L) and MP mass per liter (pg/L), the latter being estimated from the morphological parameters provided by the \u03bcRaman analysis. Hence the treated water held on average 1.4\u00a0MP counts/L, corresponding to 4\u00a0pg/L. The raw water entering the sand filters held a higher MP abundance, and the overall efficiency of the treatment was 43.2% in terms of MP counts and 75.1% in terms of MP mass. The reason for the difference between count-based and mass-based efficiencies was that 1-5\u00a0\u03bcm\u00a0MP were retained to a significantly lower degree than larger ones.

The MP retainment was highly variable between measurements, showing an overall decreasing tendency over the investigated period. Therefore, the plastic elements of the plant (valves, sealing components, etc.) likely released small-sized MPs due to the mechanical stress experienced during the treatment.

Zinc is an especially useful MVE because of its generally elevated abundances in planetary basalts, relative to other MVE, and limited evidence for mass-dependent isotopic fractionation under high-temperature igneous processes. Compared with terrestrial basalts, which have  \u03b4  66 Zn values (per mille deviation of the  66 Zn/ 64 Zn ratio from the JMC-Lyon standard) similar to some chondrite meteorites (\u223c+0.3\u2030), lunar mare basalts yield a mean  \u03b4  66 Zn value of +1.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.5\u2030 (2\u00a0st. dev.). Furthermore, mare basalts have average Zn concentrations \u223c50 times lower than in typical terrestrial basaltic rocks. Late-stage lunar magmatic products, including ferroan anorthosite, Mg- and Alkali-suite rocks have even higher  \u03b4  66 Zn values (+3 to +6\u2030). Differences in Zn abundance and isotopic compositions between lunar and terrestrial rocks have previously been interpreted to reflect evaporative loss of Zn, either during the Earth\u2013Moon forming Giant Impact, or in a lunar magma ocean (LMO) phase. To explore the mechanisms and processes under which volatile element loss may have occurred during a LMO phase, we developed models of Zn isotopic fractionation that are generally applicable to planetary magma oceans. Our objective was to identify conditions that would yield a  \u03b4  66 Zn signature of \u223c+1.4\u2030 within the lunar mantle. For the sake of simplicity, we neglect possible Zn isotopic fractionation during the Giant Impact, and assumed a starting composition equal to the composition of the present-day terrestrial mantle, assuming both the Earth and Moon had zinc \u2018consanguinity\u2019 following their formation. We developed two models: the first simulates evaporative fractionation of Zn only prior to LMO mixing and crystallization; the second simulates continued evaporative fractionation of Zn that persists until \u223c75% LMO crystallization. The first model yields a relatively homogenous bulk solid LMO  \u03b4  66 Zn value, while the second results in a stratification of  \u03b4  66 Zn values within the LMO sequence. Loss and/or isolation mechanisms for volatiles are critical to these models; hydrodynamic escape was not a dominant process, but loss of a nascent lunar atmosphere or separation of condensates into a proto-lunar crust are possible mechanisms by which volatiles could be separated from the lunar interior. The results do not preclude models that suggest a lunar volatile depletion episode related to the Giant Impact. Conversely, LMO models for volatile loss do not require loss of volatiles prior to lunar formation. Outgassing during planetary magma ocean phases likely played a profound role in setting the volatile inventories of planets, particularly for low mass bodies that experienced the greatest volatile loss. In turn, our results suggest that the initial compositions of planets that accreted from smaller, highly differentiated planetesimals were likely to be severely volatile depleted.", "keywords": ["[SDU] Sciences of the Universe [physics]", "Zinc", "Magma ocean", "Isotopes", "Volatile depletion", "13.

Results indicate that low acetate concentration (&lt;30CmM) and specific light intensities around 20W/gX are optimal operating conditions that lead to high polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) storage yields (0.83+-0.07 Cmol-PHB/Cmol-Acet) and specific PHB production rates of 2.21+-0.07 Cmol-PHB/Cmol X d.

In this study, a six-member family of COPT (SlCOPT1-6) was identified and characterized. SlCOPTs have a conserved architecture consisting of three transmembrane domains and \u03b2-strains. However, the presence of essential methionine residues, a methionine-enriched amino-terminal region, an Mx3Mx12Gx3G Cu-binding motif and a cysteine rich carboxy-terminal region, all required for their functionality, is more variable among members. Accordingly, functional complementation assays in yeast indicate that SlCOPT1 and SlCOPT2 are able to transport Cu inside the cell, while SlCOPT3 and SlCOPT5 are only partially functional. In addition, protein interaction network analyses reveal the connection between SlCOPTs and Cu PIB-type ATPases, other metal transporters, and proteins related to the peroxisome.

A total of 18 L. monocytogenes isolates were obtained from 229 samples, and their genomes were sequenced to perform comparative genomic analyses. An increase in the frequency of isolation of L. monocytogenes and in the diversity of sequence types (STs) detected was observed along time. Although the strains isolated belonged to six different STs (ST8, ST9, ST14, ST37, ST121 and ST155), ST9 was the most abundant (8 out of 18 strains). Low (0 and 2) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) distances were found between two pairs of ST9 strains isolated in both cases 3\u00a0months apart from the same processing room (Lm-1267 and Lm-1705, with a 2 SNPs distance in the core genome; Lm-1265 and Lm-1706, with a 0 SNPs distance), which suggests that these strains may be persistent L. monocytogenes strains in the food processing environment. Most strains showed an in silico attenuated virulence potential either through the truncation of InlA (in 67% of the isolates) or the absence of other virulence factors involved in cell adhesion or invasion. Twelve of the eighteen L. monocytogenes isolates contained a plasmid, which ranged in size from 4 to 87 Kb and harbored stress survival, in addition to heavy metals and biocides resistance determinants. Identical or highly similar plasmids were identified for various sets of L. monocytogenes ST9 isolates, which suggests the clonal expansion and persistence of plasmid-containing ST9 strains in the processing environments of the meat facility. Finally, the analysis of the L. monocytogenes genomes available in the NCBI database, and their associated metadata, evidenced that strains from ST9 are more frequently reported in Europe, linked to foods, particularly to meat and pork products, and less represented among clinical isolates than other L. monocytogenes STs. It also showed that the ST9 strains here isolated were more closely related to the European isolates, which clustered together and separated from ST9 North American isolates.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "Meat", "Food Handling", "Swine", "Virulence Factors", "Tecnolog\u00eda de los alimentos", "Food processing environment", "Persistence", "03 medical and health sciences", "Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities", "Floors and Floorcoverings", "Animals", "2.

This characteristic has led to the conservation and promotion of vegetative barriers as landscape elements by the Common Agricultural Policy and other policy initiatives. Numerous reviews have dealt with the trapping efficiency of vegetated barriers, although they usually focus on studies from humid climates where their implantation and survival are more favourable. However, vegetated barriers are also an attractive alternative in arid and semi-arid climates. They limit competition for water and nutrients with crops to a reduced area compared to other best management practices, such as cover crops. This study presents a review of trapping efficiency of sediment, runoff, and nutrients (P and N) by vegetative barriers in regions of humid and arid, and semi-arid, climates, and a strategy based on sediment trapping efficiency probability, which in turn is based on the results obtained from our review. Different types of independent variables were grouped and identified for the review: related to the vegetative barrier dimension (buffer width, slope of the plot, and buffer area ratio), and related to the experimental conditions (type of vegetation in the buffer, soil protection of the non-buffered area, type of climate, type of experimental measurement and origin of rainfall). An exploratory analysis evaluated the significance of the experimental variables, which identified the need to focus on experiments under natural rainfall since those carried out with simulated rainfall presented statistically significant differences. In general, average trapping efficiencies for runoff and sediment were 40.1 and 62.6 %, respectively. For nutrients, values of trapping efficiencies had an average of 44.9 % for phosphorus and 38.4 % for nitrogen. Runoff and sediment trapping efficiency in arid and semi-arid regions tended to be higher than in humid regions. Regarding dimensional variables, a positive trend was observed in the runoff and sediment trapping efficiency with the width of the vegetative barrier, with a large variability across all the width range. Finally, based on the results of our review, we developed a probabilistic model for sediment trapping efficiency as a normalised cumulative probability distribution function for the two climatic regions separately. Also, we developed it as a function of the width of the vegetative barrier for each climatic region, to facilitate decision-making. This model shows that in 92 % of the cases, a vegetative barrier will reduce erosion in humid climates, while this trapping efficiency will be 100 % in semi-arid and arid conditions. This analysis showed that vegetative barriers are an alternative to other best management practices, e.g. cover crops, when there are operational or agronomic impediments to their implementation, having a high success rate in reducing erosion in any agricultural area.", "keywords": ["2.

The limited availability of effective drugs on the market and the increased risk of resistance development due to extensive usage, highlight the urgent need for new antischistosomal drugs. Recent studies have shown that robenidine derivatives, containing an aminoguanidine core, exhibit promising activities against Plasmodium falciparum, motivating further investigation into their efficacy against Schistosoma mansoni, due to their similar habitat and the resulting related cellular mechanisms like the heme detoxification pathway. The conducted phenotypic screening of robenidine and 80 derivatives against newly transformed schistosomula and adult Schistosoma mansoni yielded 11 candidates with low EC50 values for newly transformed schistosomula (1.12-4.63\u00a0\u03bcM) and adults (2.78-9.47\u00a0\u03bcM). The structure-activity relationship revealed that electron-withdrawing groups at the phenyl moiety, as well as the presence of methyl groups adjacent to the guanidine moiety, enhanced the activity of derivatives against both stages of Schistosoma mansoni.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities have increased with industrial development and population expansion, and it is anticipated that resulting climate change might further limit agricultural productivity, through changes to weather patterns and global availability/distribution of agriculturally productive land. Growing crops as feedstocks for industrial uses is seen as one way of reducing GHG emissions and dependency on fossil resources. However, determining the extent to which the development of crops for industrial use will effect GHG balances and provide for a more energy efficient manufacturing system requires the development and use of appropriate calculation methodologies.  Research at the Porter Institute has identified over 250 different scenarios for bioenergy production systems using commodity crops. In order to rationalise this complexity and diversity, a modular approach to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and sustainability analysis has been taken. This allows characterisation of discrete sections of supply chains and enables comparisons to be made between different crop production systems, different process systems and different end product uses. The purposes of this paper are to introduce the concepts of biofuel GHG and sustainability metrics, to introduce the approach taken by our organization and to use the example of UK grown willow in a lignocellulosic ethanol production system to demonstrate how GHG emission outcomes can be reviewed for \u201cnew\u201d crops and technologies.  The results show a range of variation, in both growing and process systems and how outcomes such as energy and GHG balances can be affected by various activities.  LCA methodologies provide data to inform governments and industry of the potential specific supply chains may have for energy and GHG saving. However, methodological approaches can also affect assessment outcomes. Unresolved issues in LCA methodology must also be evaluated e.g. impacts resulting from land use change. Sustainability assessments of crop growing systems, irrespective of the end use, also assist in the assessment of environmental impacts of supply chains. However, it is critical that data continue to be collected, analysed and reviewed, to ensure that the most appropriate crops are grown and processed for the most appropriate end use.", "keywords": ["2.

Yet, unlike in agriculture and inland land uses, the use of Sentinel imagery has not been evaluated for biomass retrieval in mangrove forest and the non-forest land uses that replaced mangroves. In this study, we evaluated the ability of Sentinel imagery for the retrieval and predictive mapping of above-ground biomass of mangroves and their replacement land uses. We used Sentinel SAR and multispectral imagery to develop biomass prediction models through the conventional linear regression and novel Machine Learning algorithms. We developed models each from SAR raw polarisation backscatter data, multispectral bands, vegetation indices, and canopy biophysical variables. The results show that the model based on biophysical variable Leaf Area Index (LAI) derived from Sentinel-2 was more accurate in predicting the overall above-ground biomass. In contrast, the model which utilised optical bands had the lowest accuracy. However, the SAR-based model was more accurate in predicting the biomass in the usually deficient to low vegetation cover non-forest replacement land uses such as abandoned aquaculture pond, cleared mangrove and abandoned salt pond. These models had 0.82\u20130.83 correlation/agreement of observed and predicted value, and root mean square error of 27.8\u201328.5\u202fMg\u202fha \u22121 . Among the Sentinel-2 multispectral bands, the red and red edge bands (bands 4, 5 and 7), combined with elevation data, were the best variable set combination for biomass prediction. The red edge-based Inverted Red-Edge Chlorophyll Index had the highest prediction accuracy among the vegetation indices. Overall, Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery can provide satisfactory results in the retrieval and predictive mapping of the above-ground biomass of mangroves and the replacement non-forest land uses, especially with the inclusion of elevation data.

The experiment was conducted in Cyili sub-catchment in Southern Province of Rwanda, which has an irregular rainfall distribution and a prolonged dry season. The experimental design consisted of a randomized design and each treatment was replicated three times. Findings from this study revealed that maize grain yield and yield components, such as plant height, cob diameter and length, number of leaves, 100 grain weight, and yield per plant were highly significantly affected (P\u202f<\u202f0.001) by all water conservation methods tested. Only germination rate was not significantly impacted (p\u202f>\u202f0.05). Supplementary irrigation treatment increased maize yield production to 11,982\u202fkg\u202fha-1. Mulching increased yield significantly to 8089\u202fkg\u202fha-1. Ridges yielded 5937\u202fkg\u202fha-1, and rainfed treatment yielded 4755\u202fkg\u202fha-1 of maize. Based on Pearson's correlation coefficients, grain yield and yield components were positively correlated and statistically significant (p\u202f<\u202f0.001) under various water conservation methods. Supplementary irrigation through rainwater harvesting was found to be a more promising option for maize growers to mitigate dry spell and stabilize maize production in rainfall deficient agro-ecological conditions not only in Rwanda, but in sub-Sahara Africa.

These data were successfully used to identify genetic components associated with the response through Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS).

Unfortunately, the current spaceborne thermal sensors provide data at either high temporal (e.g. MODIS: Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer) or high spatial (e.g. Landsat) resolution separately. Disaggregating low spatial resolution (LR) LST data using ancillary data available at high spatio-temporal resolution could compensate for the lack of high spatial resolution (HR) LST observations. Existing LST downscaling approaches generally rely on the fractional green vegetation cover (fgv) derived from HR reflectances but they do not take into account the soil water availability to explain the spatial variability in LST at HR. In this context, a new method is developed to disaggregate kilometric MODIS LST at 100\u202fm resolution by including the Sentinel-1 (S-1) backscatter, which is indirectly linked to surface soil moisture, in addition to the Landsat-7 and Landsat-8 (L-7 & L-8) reflectances. The approach is tested over two different sites \u2013 an 8\u202fkm by 8\u202fkm irrigated crop area named \u201cR3\u201d and a 12\u202fkm by 12\u202fkm rainfed area named \u201cSidi Rahal\u201d in central Morocco (Marrakech) \u2013 on the seven dates when S-1, and L-7 or L-8 acquisitions coincide with a one-day precision during the 2015\u20132016 growing season. The downscaling methods are applied to the 1\u202fkm resolution MODIS-Terra LST data, and their performance is assessed by comparing the 100\u202fm disaggregated LST to Landsat LST in three cases: no disaggregation, disaggregation using Landsat fgv only, disaggregation using both Landsat fgv and S-1 backscatter. When including fgv only in the disaggregation procedure, the mean root mean square error in LST decreases from 4.20 to 3.60\u202f\u00b0C and the mean correlation coefficient (R) increases from 0.45 to 0.69 compared to the non-disaggregated case within R3. The new methodology including the S-1 backscatter as input to the disaggregation is found to be systematically more accurate on the available dates with a disaggregation mean error decreasing to 3.35\u202f\u00b0C and a mean R increasing to 0.75.", "keywords": ["LST", "2.

This manuscript presents a questionnaire-based study aimed to provide a detailed analysis on the different soil management carried out by olive farmers in two representative olive-growing areas in southern Spain (Cordoba and Estepa), their perceptions on cover crop use and the possible influence of the different types of farms and farmers\u2019 typologies on these perceptions. Our results show a relatively large variability of soil management, with fourteen options, as a result of a combination of different alternatives for bare soil and cover crops with the use or not of pruning residues, but with a great similarity between both areas. The results indicate a high adoption of soil conservation measures in the two study areas, with 63% of farmers using cover crops and 80% a mulch of pruning residues, higher than that reported in previous studies in Southern Spain, and a trend of lower use of these techniques by less experienced and younger farmers. This high penetration of soil conservation measures resulted in a significant reduction of soil erosion risk, as indicated by the relatively low values for the cover and management factor (C) of RUSLE, also calculated and presented in this study, but also the possibility of focusing further efforts on farmers with less experience. Our results indicate the persistence of a minor, but relevant, percentage of farmers using bare soil management (37%) and no mulching (20%), with a moderate concern on the impact of soil erosion on soil degradation and provision of ecosystem services. This suggests the need to concentrate efforts also on this cluster of farmers to enhance the success of what seems to be a remarkable expansion of the use of soil conservation measures in recent decades in Southern Spain, but also in similar areas in the Mediterranean basin.

Here, we provide an estimate of the spatial patterns of cropland susceptibility to erosion by sheet and rill, gully, wind, tillage, and root crops harvesting and report the co-occurrence of these processes using a multi-model approach. In addition, to give a global overview of potential future changes, we identify the locations where these multiple concurrent soil erosion processes may be expected to intersect with projected dry/wet climate changes by 2070. Of a modelled 1.48 billion hectares (B ha) of global cropland, our results indicate that 0.56\u00a0B\u00a0ha (\u223c36% of the total area) are highly susceptible (classes 4 and 5) to a single erosion process, 0.27\u00a0B\u00a0ha (\u223c18% of the total area) to two processes and 0.02\u00a0B\u00a0ha (1.4% of the total area) to three or more processes.

We contend that the presented set of estimates represents a basis for enhancing our foundational knowledge on the geography of soil erosion at the global scale.
