They can help map the temporal and spatial variability of exposure, exposure pathways and exposure routes, and support risk assessment for water bodies where monitoring is lacking. They can be used to identify sources and pathways responsible for current exposures and to assess the impact of potential future developments of persistent, mobile, and toxic chemicals (PMT) exposures in surface water and groundwater. Such scenario assessment may include changes in PMT use, effects of pollution control measures, accidental spills or climate change.  The scope of this document, produced as part of the H2020 PROMISCES project, is to provide guidance for applications of models with a specific focus on model trains for the assessment of exposure to PMTs as part of the predictive risk assessment related to surface and groundwater. This document explains the basic concepts of specific models and how best to use them in modeltrains in the framework of a tiered approach. The intention is to inform users and interested stakeholders about what needs to be considered when using different methods, what is the best use of specific models, what are the best combinations in model trains and what are their current limitations.  The guidance document presents (i) \u201cscreening level\u201d models for the assessment of regional exposure of groundwater from soil pollution and for the assessment of general exposure of air, soil and water at local, regional or global scales, (ii) spatial and temporal explicit approaches for the identification of pollution plumes in the soil-groundwater continuum and (iii) model train applications for the catchment \u2013 river \u2013 river bank filtration \u2013 drinking water continuum.  Exposure of surface water and groundwater to PMT depends on the use patterns and the environmental fate of the chemicals. Emission, fate and transport models incorporate driving factors into documented algorithms. The extent to which a substance persists in surface water can, for instance, be calculated with the \u201cSimpleBox - Aquatic Persistence Dashboard\u201d, based on its physical-chemical characteristics. The presented approach for deriving generic risk limits for soils shows that, depending on regional variations in geo(hydro)logical conditions, the high mobility of some PFAS could lead to strict requirements for materials applied on soil.  For the soil-groundwater continuum, a novel model train is presented which accounts for the main physical and chemical processes controlling the fate and transport of PFAS. For sorption and degradation reactions, several formalisms can be used, allowing one to select the most appropriate according to the PFAS molecular properties and the characteristics of the simulateddomain. The results issued from these modelling applications indicate the key role of correctly identifying the main physical, chemical and biological processes controlling fate and transport of PFAS in the studied domain to build a robust conceptual model. To increase the robustness of the model, a thorough model calibration must be performed, preferably using time seriesmeasurements of the PFAS concentration in the pore solution at different locations of the contaminated site.  The results confirm the key role of the unsaturated zone in the transfer and long-term migration of PFAS. Nonlinearity and nonideality of sorption reactions were expected for a broad range of PFAS, suggesting using more complex numerical formalism than linear isotherms. Considering the key role of capillary fringe displacement on PFAS transport in the unsaturated zone, themodel train seems to be very efficient in performing PFAS simulations, as it can explicitly describe water flow and solute transport at the interface between the unsaturated and saturated zones, avoiding the main pitfall encountered in other numerical approaches.  The combination of stand-alone models in model trains expands the scope that can be covered in the context of a catchment \u2013 river \u2013 riverbank filtration \u2013 drinking water continuum for exposure assessment of surface waters and bank filtered drinking water. Model trains can combine individual models either in a complementary way or in a sequence. A complementary combination may either compare models of different complexity to find out which level of complexity (and associated effort) is needed to answer which questions, or may compare different models with their different strengths and weaknesses in parallel to assess uncertainties and/or use models for scenario evaluation according to their specific capabilities. A sequential combination facilitates a broader application in terms of content and at different spatial resolutions. Clearly defined interfaces are essential for a successful implementation.  Examples of model trains for selected PFAS are presented for the catchment-river interaction in the urban context of the Berlin case and for the whole catchment \u2013 river \u2013 riverbank filtration \u2013 drinking water continuum on the scale of the Upper Danube Basin. The Berlin case demonstrates the application of the sequential model train by combining a city emission model with a city surface water fate and transport model to assess the resulting exposure to PFAS in the city surface waters. The Danube case demonstrates the application of a sequential model train for exposure assessment of bank filtered drinking water by combining large-scale catchment-scale emission models with different types of bank filtration fate and transport models for specific locations in the catchment. In addition, it also demonstrates complementary application by comparing emission models with different strengths and weaknesses for the assessment of multiple scenarios on the catchment scale and different levels of complexity for the fate and transport modelling of bank filtration. The model train has been successfully applied for 10 different PFAS-substances including the assessment of a large range of scenarios.  Current limitations for exposure assessment of PFAS at river basin scale require improvement in scientific understanding as well as additional efforts in administrative data collection and inventory development. Current results of the exposure assessment show the very high relevance of legacy pollution from use of fire-fighting foams or from old municipal landfills. On the administrative level, there is a strong need for improved identification and harmonized inventorying of contaminated sites at national and international (EU) level. The lack of robust, openly available information on production, import-export and therefore use volumes of PFAS at national and EU level is strongly hampering exposure assessment. A major effort is urgently needed to provide this information, as it is decisive for a sound environmental exposure assessment, not only for surface water and groundwater.  In regard to scientific advances, there is a need for more and better understanding of the extent of local groundwater pollution, particularly due to the application of fire-fighting foams or to the presence of municipal landfills. Further improvement of the scientific knowledge about the fate of PFAS in the environment, including their partitioning between different phases (air,water, solids) and the transformation of the so called \u201cprecursors\u201d into stable \u201cend-products\u201d like PFOA, PFOS and short-chain substances is needed to enlarge the number of PFAS that can be included into the exposure assessment. A reproducible and standardised analytical parameter for \u201ctotal PFAS\u201d or even \u201ctotal toxicity of PFAS\u201d would be needed to address all relevant PFAS in a combined way as it is a focus of Workpackage 1 of the H2020 PROMISCES project (Togola et al. 2024; Behnisch et al. 2024).", "keywords": ["Groundwater/chemistry", "Groundwater pollution", "emission modelling", "Surface water management", "Groundwater quality", "Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS)", "environmental transport modelling", "Surface water", "environmental fate modelling", "Groundwater endangering"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Zessner, Matthias, Baldwin, Dwight, del Val Alonso, Laura, Derx, Julia, Devau, Nicolas, Janssen, Gijs, Jou Claus, S\u00f2nia, Kittlaus, Steffen, Knoche, Franziska, Liu, Meiqi, Markus, Arjen, Valstar, Johan, Meesters, Joris, Meijers, Erwin, Obeid, Ali A.A., Oudega, Thomas James, Pathak, Devanshi, Sprenger, Christoph, van Gils, Jos, Wicke, Daniel, Wintersen, Arjen, Zhiteneva, Veronika, Groot, Hans,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14789120"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5281/zenodo.14789120", "name": "item", "description": "10.5281/zenodo.14789120", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5281/zenodo.14789120"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-02-28T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5281/zenodo.14825718", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:24:36Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "Raw data for the manuscript: Conventional and biodegradable agricultural microplastics affecting soil properties and microbial functions across a European pedoclimatic gradient", "description": "Clay, Silt, Fine sand, Coarse sand, dry matter, bulk density, pH, electric conductivity, Water extractable organic carbon, Water extractable total nitrogen, Water extractable organic nitrogen,\u00a0Ammonium, Nitrate, Phosphate, Soil organic carbon, Soil total nitrogen, Potential ammonium oxidation, Potential ammonification, Basal respiration, Substrate-induced respiration, Remaining mass of green and black tea litter, Ergosterol concentration, Soil aggregation, Bact and fungi Chao, Bact and fungi Shannon, Bact and fungi InvSimpson, CH4, CO2, N2O", "keywords": ["Microbial community composition", "Microbial activity", "Greenhouse gases", "Teabag index", "Agricultural plastics", "eDNA", "Field experiment"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Smidova, Klara, Hofman, Jakub, Velmala, Sannakajsa, Soinne, Helena, Kim, Shin Woong, Tirroniemi, Jyri, Selonen, Salla,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14825718"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5281/zenodo.14825718", "name": "item", "description": "10.5281/zenodo.14825718", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5281/zenodo.14825718"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-02-06T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5281/zenodo.14845589", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:24:36Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "Data from: Comparison and evaluation of sampling and eDNA metabarcoding protocols to assess soil biodiversity in Belgian LUCAS Biopoints", "description": "Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is emerging as a novel tool for monitoring soil biodiversity. Soil biodiversity, critical for soil health and ecosystem services, is currently under-monitored due to the lack of standardized and efficient methods. We assessed whether refinements to sampling and molecular protocols could improve soil biodiversity detection and monitoring.\u00a0Comparing the 2018 LUCAS soil biodiversity protocols with newly developed national methods, we tested sampling topsoil (0-10 cm) versus deeper layers, larger soil sample sizes for DNA-extraction, taking more subsamples for composite soil samples, and alternative primer sets across 9 Belgian Biopoints included in the LUCAS 2022 survey. The results suggest that significantly more species can be detected in upper soil layers, including the forest floor, while the diversity of taxa and eDNA in the 10\u201330 cm soil layer is insufficient for annelids and arthropods to serve as indicators of ecological change. Additionally, comparison of the universal eukaryotic primers (18S) with primer sets tailored to soil mesofauna and macrofauna, showed that universal 18S primers provide limited resolution for Collembola and Annelida. Overall, the analyses suggest that vertical soil stratification (with two sampling depths) has a greater influence on the captured diversity of soil mesofauna and macrofauna than the number of subsamples, and that the highest diversity is recovered when surface sampling (0\u201310 cm topsoil and forest floor) is combined with a greater number of subsamples and a larger sampled area. With refinement and standardization, eDNA metabarcoding, combined with optimized sampling protocols, could become a powerful and efficient tool for monitoring soil biodiversity in European soils.  Description of the files  This dataset includes interactive Krona taxonomy charts to visually summarize the diversity and relative read abundance of detected taxa across sampling locations and protocols. Each ring in the chart represents a taxonomic level, with the relative width of segments reflecting the proportion of reads assigned to specific taxa at that level. These charts enable exploration of taxonomic composition and allow for comparisons between the different sampled locations, sampling protocols tested, and primer sets tested. All krona charts were made in R using psadd::plot_krona.

Specific root phenotypes can be associated with better plant growth under low nutrient and water availability. Therefore, root ideotypes have been proposed as breeding targets for more stress-resilient and resource-efficient crops. For example, root phenotypes that correspond to the Topsoil Foraging ideotype are associated with better plant growth under suboptimal phosphorus availability, and root phenotypes that correspond to the Steep, Cheap and Deep ideotype are linked to better performance under suboptimal availability of nitrogen and water. We propose that natural variation in root phenotypes translates into a diversity of different niches for microbial associations in the rhizosphere, rhizoplane and root cortex, and that microbial traits could have synergistic effects with the beneficial effect of specific root phenotypes. Oxygen and water content, carbon rhizodeposition, nutrient availability, and root surface area are all factors that are modified by root anatomy and architecture and determine the structure and function of the associated microbial communities. Recent research results indicate that root characteristics that may modify microbial communities associated with maize include aerenchyma, rooting angle, root hairs, and lateral root branching density. Therefore, the selection of root phenotypes linked to better plant growth under specific edaphic conditions should be accompanied by investigating and selecting microbial partners better adapted to each set of conditions created by the corresponding root phenotype. Microbial traits such as nitrogen transformation, phosphorus solubilization, and water retention could have synergistic effects when correctly matched with promising plant root ideotypes for improved nutrient and water capture.

Currently, the database focuses on northern peatlands and Sphagnum litter and peat, but it also contains data from some vascular plant litterbag experiments. Currently, the database contains entries from 34 studies, 2,160 litterbag experiments, and 7,297 individual samples with 117,841 measurements for various attributes (e.g.\u00a0relative mass remaining, N content, holocellulose content, mesh size). The aim is to provide a harmonized data source that can be useful to re-analyse existing data and to plan future litterbag experiments.  The Peatland Productivity and Decomposition Parameter Database (PPDPD) (Bona et al. 2018) is similar to the Peatland Decomposition Database (PDD) in that both contain data from peatland litterbag experiments. The differences are that both databases partly contain different data, that PPDPD additionally contains information on vegetation productivity, which PDD does not, and that PDD provides more information and metadata on litterbag experiments, and also measurement errors.     2 Updates  Compared to version 1.0.0, this version has a new structure for table experimental_design_format, contains additional metadata on the experimental design (these were omitted in version 1.0.0), and contains the scripts that were used to import the data into the database.     3 Methods    3.1 Data collection  Data for the database was collected from published litterbag studies, by extracting published data from figures, tables, or other data sources, and by contacting the authors of the studies to obtain raw data. All data processing was done with R (R version 4.2.0 (2022-04-22)) (R Core Team 2022).  Studies were identified via a Scopus search with search string (TITLE-ABS-KEY ( peat* AND ( 'litter bag' OR 'decomposition rate' OR 'decay rate' OR 'mass loss')) AND NOT ('tropic*')) (2022-12-17). These studies were further screened to exclude those which do not contain litterbag data or which recycle data from other studies that have already been considered. Additional studies with litterbag experiments in northern peatlands we were aware of, but which were not identified in the literature search were added to the list of publications. For studies not older than 10 years, authors were contacted to obtain raw data, however this was successful only in few cases. To date, the database focuses on Sphagnum litterbag experiments and not from all studies that were identified by the literature search data have been included yet in the database.  Data from figures were extracted using the package \u2018metaDigitise\u2019 (1.0.1) (Pick, Nakagawa, and Noble 2018). Data from tables were extracted manually.  Data from the following studies are currently included: Farrish and Grigal (1985), Bartsch and Moore (1985), Farrish and Grigal (1988), Vitt (1990), Hogg, Lieffers, and Wein (1992), Sanger, Billett, and Cresser (1994), Hiroki and Watanabe (1996), Szumigalski and Bayley (1996), Prevost, Belleau, and Plamondon (1997), Arp, Cooper, and Stednick (1999), Robbert A.

Descriptions of the tables are shown in Tab. 1.  The database contains general metadata relevant for litterbag experiments (e.g., geographical, temporal, and taxonomic coverage, mesh sizes, experimental design). However, it does not contain a detailed description of sample handling, sample preprocessing methods, site descriptions, because there currently are no discipline-specific metadata and reporting standards.

The in vitro toxicity profiling followed a stepwise approach, by first testing the potential reference compounds PFOA and PFOS as well as industrial mixtures (e.g., GenX and ADONA) with a wide range of in silico and in vitro methods (see for an overview in Annex, Table A1). Based on these initial results, the most suitable in vitro toxicity endpoints (see table 7 and table 10) have been chosen for toxicity profiling the wider set of the selected PFAS compounds as well as for toxicity testing selected complex mixture (e.g., water, soil).   In the case of PMTs, at first, the potential bioactivity of several key PMTs (e.g., bisphenol A, triclosan, methyl-paraben, 5-chlorobenzotriazole, benzothiazole) have been evaluated using a range of in vitro toxicity profiling methods (see for an overview in Annex, Table A1). In a second step, the most suitable in vitro toxicity endpoints (see table 8 and 11) have been used for toxicity profiling an extended group of PMT compounds as well as for testing complex mixtures (e.g., water, soil).\u00a0   Regarding the group of PFAS, in silico modelling has been performed for a few thousands of chemicals (see Kowalski et al.,\u00a0 2023), while in case of in vitro testing the focus was on a selection of 40/2 PFAS/industrial mixtures compounds proposed by the chemical-analytical laboratories involved in PROMISCES and commercially available within a limited budget.  In this study, the in silico modeling part investigated PFAS binding potencies to nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs) such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) \u03b1, \u03b2, and \u03b3 and thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) \u03b1 and \u03b2. In the first in silico step, the developed QSAR models were implemented for the screening approach of a large group of compounds (4464) from the NORMAN Database related to these 5 above mentioned NHRs. The in silico analyses indicated that the probability of PFAS binding to the receptors depends on the chain length, the number of fluorine atoms, and the number of branches in the molecule. According to the findings, the considered PFAS group bind to the PPAR\u03b1, \u03b2, and \u03b3 only with low or moderate probability, while in the case of TR \u03b1 and \u03b2 it is similar except that those chemicals with longer chains show a moderately high probability of binding.  The in silico analysis shows from the here tested 15 endpoints that most PFAS reflect a high binding probability to sex hormone receptors (anti-AR and ER). however, receptors from the peroxisome proliferator-activated (PPAR \u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3) glucocorticoid (GR and anti-GR), liver X (LXR \u03b1, \u03b2) and retinoid X (RXR \u03b1) groups are unaffected or slightly affected by PFAS (low and moderate binding probability).   Regarding the parallel in vitro bioassay toxicity analysis, an established standardised in vitro test battery (consisting of e.g., genotoxicity, neurotoxicity, cytotoxicity, obesity and early warning testing) was applied to meet specific criteria of PFAS/iPM(T) (endpoints, sensitivity and specificity).   Based on existing and improved CALUX bioassays, different toxicological endpoints involving metabolic syndrome (obesity related PPAR), endocrine EATS testing, genotoxicity (p53 related) and general toxicity pathways (e.g. early warning PXR) to characterise PM(T) properties of chemicals were assessed.   The in vitro bioassay groups addressed 40 PFAS compounds (e.g. all regulated 20 PFAS) and industrial standards (e.g., ADONA, GenX) with a combination of a wide range of CALUX bioassay endpoints (e.g., table 7 with 6 endpoints) and additional general toxicity in vitro bioassays (e.g., table 9 with 8 in vitro endpoints).   Potency factors for selected PFAS/ iPM(T) have been established for several of the here used in vitro bioassays by two bioassay laboratories (UBA, BDS). Comparing both data sets, 80% of the relative potency factors for PFAS tested on e.g., the TTR-TRb CALUX, were found to be within an order of magnitude.  Potency factors for selected PFAS have been established for each of the here used in vitro human cell-based CALUX bioassays. For example, in case of the TTR-TRb CALUX bioassay, the RPF values are rang from non-detected (e.g., several FTOH compounds) to the P37DMOA compound (RPF = up to 2.3; see tables 7 and 10).  Additional up to 22 PM(T) chemicals (e.g., see table 8 and 10) have been tested with a combination of a wide range of CALUX bioassays (e.g., table 8 with 6 endpoints) and additional general toxicity in vitro bioassays (e.g., table 10 with 4 in vitro endpoints). This included i) selecting a wide range of reporter gene assays to screen the toxic profiles of a set of PM(T) chemicals, ii) selecting the most suitable bioassay panel, and iii) validating bioassay panels and cross-validating the responses obtained from the selected panel of human cell-line based bioassays  Potency factors for selected iPM(T) have been established for each of the here used in vitro human cell-based CALUX bioassays. For all CALUX bioassays applied, RPF-values ranged from not-detected (e.g., several in vitro endpoints at benzotriazole) up to RPF values above 0.5 for several PMTs (e.g., galaxolide and triclosan, see table 8, or methyl-paraben in table 10 at the male hormone inhibition).  In a second step, the 3 most active PFAS compounds on the in vitro TTR-TRb CALUX (PFOA with RPF = 1; P37DMOA with RPF = 2.3; 6:2 FTAB with RPF = 0.00015; see table 7) have been used to find in in silico modelling new PFAS structure-analogue compounds. In case of PFOA 12 structure-in vitro toxicity analogues were found, while in case of P37DMOA only 3 analogues and in case of 6:2 FTAB only 7 analogues were found.  Our study shows that such an combined approach of in silico and in\u00a0 vitro toxicity evaluations of single PFAS congeners (from the large group of PFAS) is a promising and suitable strategy to cover a large variety of different key events in toxicology in a time- and cost-efficient way. Such early key events can lead to protein production or molecular signalling that occur in individual cells. Later events can include altered tissue or organ function. Such key events are important because after the molecular initiating event, they can characterize the progression of the toxicity.  Relative potency factors (RPFs) have been determined here by a combination of in silico and vitro toxicity tools and can further help to give first toxicity indications for the handful regulated and the not yet regularly tested/regulated PFAS to be included in the testing strategy for single compounds and complex mixtures of these compounds.", "keywords": ["Deliverable", "thyroid hormone transport competition", "TTR TR CALUX", "PFAS", "in vitro assay (CALUX)", "non-animal methods (NAM)", "in silico modeling"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Behnisch, Peter, Sosnowska, Anita, Mombelli, Enrico, Kuckelkorn, Jochen,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14945573"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5281/zenodo.14945573", "name": "item", "description": "10.5281/zenodo.14945573", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5281/zenodo.14945573"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-02-28T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5281/zenodo.15160426", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"license": "unspecified", "updated": "2026-04-03T16:24:45Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "TABLE 1 in A report of the unusual presence of Haplotaxis cf. gordioides in a terrestrial subsoil and first isotopic analysis of its trophic position", "description": "unspecifiedTABLE 1.

Based on realistic geometrical assumptions, highfidelity 3D finite element (FE) models of increasing sophistication are created in the Real-ESSI Simulator. Starting with elastic soil conditions and assuming tied soil\u2500foundation interfaces, it is shown that the rocking vibration mode of the soil\u2500reactor building system is amplified by the presence of the auxiliary building through a detrimental out-of-phase rotational interaction mechanism. Adding nonlinear interfaces, which allow for soil\u2500foundation detachment during seismic shaking, introduces higher excitation frequencies (above 10 Hz) in the foundation of the reactor building, leading to amplification effects in the resonant vibration response of the biological shield wall (incl. reactor vessel) inside the reactor building. A small amount of sliding at the soil\u2500foundation interface of the auxiliary building slightly decreases its response, thus reducing its aforementioned negative effects on the reactor building. When soil nonlinearity is accounted for, the rocking vibration mode of the soil\u2500reactor building system almost vanishes, thanks to the strongly nonlinear response of the underlying soil. This leads to a beneficial out-of-phase horizontal interaction mechanism between the two buildings, reducing the spectral accelerations at critical points inside the reactor building by up to 55% for frequencies close to the resonant vibration frequency of the auxiliary building. This implies that the neighboring buildings could offer mutual seismic protection to each other, in a similar way to the recently emerged seismic resonant metamaterials, provided that they are properly tuned during the design phase, accounting for soil and soil-foundation interface nonlinearities.", "keywords": ["Structure-Soil-Structure interaction (SSSI)", "Structure-Soil-Structure interaction (SSSI); Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs); Domain reduction method (DRM); Nonlinear interface; Nonlinear soil; Seismic resonant metamaterials; Meta-SSI", "FOS: Physical sciences", "Structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI); Nuclear power plants (NPPs); Domain reduction method (DRM); Nonlinear interface; Nonlinear soil; Seismic resonant metamaterials; Meta-SSI", "Physics - Applied Physics", "Applied Physics (physics.app-ph)", "7.

Here we provide evidence supporting a second role of IRT1 in root\uffe2\uff80\uff90to\uffe2\uff80\uff90shoot partitioning of Fe. We show that irt1 mutants overaccumulate Fe in roots, most prominently in the cortex of the differentiation zone in irt1\uffe2\uff80\uff902, compared to the wild type. Shoots of irt1\uffe2\uff80\uff902 are severely Fe\uffe2\uff80\uff90deficient according to Fe content and marker transcripts, as expected. We generated irt1\uffe2\uff80\uff902 lines producing IRT1 mutant variants carrying single amino\uffe2\uff80\uff90acid substitutions of key residues in transmembrane helices IV and V, Ser206 and His232, which are required for transport activity in yeast.

The genetically conserved dinitrogenase reductase (nifH) gene is phylogenetically distributed across four clusters (I-IV) and is widely used as a marker gene for N2 fixation, permitting investigators to study the genetic diversity of diazotrophs in nature and target potential participants in N2 fixation. To date there have been limited, standardized pipelines for analyzing the nifH functional gene, which is in stark contrast to the 16S rRNA gene. Here we present a bioinformatics pipeline for processing nifH amplicon datasets - NifMAP ('NifH MiSeq Illumina Amplicon Analysis Pipeline'), which as a novel aspect uses Hidden-Markov Models to filter out homologous genes to nifH. By using this pipeline, we evaluated the broadly inclusive primer pairs (Ueda19F-R6, IGK3-DVV, and F2-R6) that target the nifH gene. To evaluate any systematic biases, the nifH gene was amplified with the aforementioned primer pairs in a diverse collection of environmental samples (soils, rhizosphere and roots samples, biological soil crusts and estuarine samples), in addition to a nifH mock community consisting of six phylogenetically diverse members. We noted that all primer pairs co-amplified nifH homologs to varying degrees; up to 90% of the amplicons were nifH homologs with IGK3-DVV in some samples (rhizosphere and roots from tall oat-grass). In regards to specificity, we observed some degree of bias across the primer pairs. For example, primer pair F2-R6 discriminated against cyanobacteria (amongst others), yet captured many sequences from subclusters IIIE and IIIL-N. These aforementioned subclusters were largely missing by the primer pair IGK3-DVV, which also tended to discriminate against Alphaproteobacteria, but amplified sequences within clusters IIIC (affiliated with Clostridia) and clusters IVB and IVC. Primer pair Ueda19F-R6 exhibited the least bias and successfully captured diazotrophs in cluster I and subclusters IIIE, IIIL, IIIM, and IIIN, but tended to discriminate against Firmicutes and subcluster IIIC. Taken together, our newly established bioinformatics pipeline, NifMAP, along with our systematic evaluations of nifH primer pairs permit more robust, high-throughput investigations of diazotrophs in diverse environments.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "DIVERSITY", "nifH gene", "Microbiology", "03 medical and health sciences", "NifMAP", "Nitrogen fixation", "PARTICULATE METHANE MONOOXYGENASE", "MOLYBDENUM-NITROGENASE", "Primer evaluation", "MICROORGANISMS", "NifH gene", "2.

Therefore, ensuring the wellbeing of bees is a crucial component of fostering sustainability and ecological harmony. The colony collapse disorder (CCD) phenomenon was first reported in 2006 when the majority of bee colonies in Europe died out, due to an increase in infections, contamination of hives with agrochemical pesticides, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Only 6 years after the emergence of CCD, more than 6.5 million premature deaths were reported, as a consequence of persistent human exposure to air pollution. The insect species such as the honey bee Apis mellifera L. and the air matrix inside the beehive can be used as tools in biomonitoring, instead of traditional monitoring methods. This may have advantages in terms of cost-effective bioindicators of the environmental health status, showing the ability to record spatial and temporal pollutant variations. In this study, we present the sustainable in-field usage of the portable membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) instrument for an instant and effective determination of the level of environmental pollution by analytical identification of hive atmosphere volatile organic compound (VOC) contaminants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) compounds, and pesticides. The samples were taken from hives located in urbanized and rural regions, highlighting variations in contamination.

Soil biodiversity, critical to soil health and ecosystem services, remains under-monitored due to the lack of standardized and efficient methods. We evaluated whether refinements to sampling protocols (for soil invertebrates and Fungi) and molecular protocols (for soil invertebrates) could improve biodiversity detection. Comparing the 2018 LUCAS soil biodiversity protocol with newly developed national methods, we tested sampling and sequencing surface layers (0-10 cm and forest floor) versus deeper layers, larger soil sample sizes for DNA-extraction, taking more subsamples for composite soil samples, and alternative primer sets across 9 Belgian Biopoints included in the LUCAS 2022 survey. We show that the choice of sampling protocol significantly influences soil biodiversity assessments. The results show that, based on eDNA, we are able to detect significantly more species when sampling and sequencing the upper soil layers separately, while the diversity in the 10\u201330 cm soil layer is insufficient for annelids and arthropods to serve as indicators of ecological changes. Collembola and Arthropoda richness and diversity generally increased towards less intensely managed soils, when using the national (Cmon), and to a lesser extent the European (LUCAS) sampling protocols. In contrast, sampling and sequencing the 10-30 cm layer failed to capture such a pattern. Overall, the analyses suggest that soil depth has a greater influence on the soil invertebrate diversity captured than sampling intensity, and that the highest diversity is recovered when surface sampling (0\u201310 cm topsoil and forest floor) is combined with a greater number of subsamples (16 compared to 5 in LUCAS) and a larger sampled area. Additionally, comparison of the universal eukaryotic primers (18S) with primer sets tailored to important soil invertebrate groups, showed that universal 18S primers provide limited resolution for Collembola and Annelida, making them less suitable for accurately assessing the diversity of these groups as a response variable in monitoring ecological changes and biological soil health.

This study presents an efficient method for early pollination assessment, utilizing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) footage for reliable estimation and timely reactions. Twelve oilseed rape (             Brassica napus var. oleracea             ) isolation cages with three pollinator treatments were set up, including the control with no pollinators. The trial employed UAV image acquisition, generating high-resolution RGB orthomosaics. A K-means clustering algorithm was implemented to identify oilseed rape flowers, a direct indicator of pollination performance. The percentage of detected oilseed rape flower coverage within each cage was the primary metric for performance assessment. These initial results demonstrated a negative correlation of 0.92 between estimated flower coverage and expert observations, affirming the efficacy of the proposed methodology. By integrating UAVs and clustering image processing, this research contributes to precision agriculture, offering a robust approach for evaluating pollination performance.

Their excessive use leads to a shortage of drinkable water resources. In addition to stability in water, the problem is also their conjugates, which often return to the original compounds, so it is necessary to remove \u03b2-blockers from water. Photocatalytic degradation compared to conventional methods of water purification has been shown to be an effective method for the removal of drugs from the aqueous medium [1].  \u00a0  MXenes are carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides of transition metals, and represent a rapidly developing group of 2D materials, where Ti3C2Tx is the most studied material [2]. Ti3C2Tx could be suitable for photocatalytic water purification because of the large and aboundant surface area covered by the large number of hydrophilic terminal groups (\u2013F, \u2013O and \u2013OH) that enable drug adsorption [3]. In this work, the synthesis of singlephase Ti3C2Tx from Ti3AlC2 was performed using HF obtained in situ in a mixture of LiF and HCl. The synthesized material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and BET analysis. In our research, the photolysis and photocatalysis of the \u03b2-blocker PIN were carried out in Ti3AlC2 and Ti3C2Tx aqueous suspensions under the influence of UV radiation.

New (a)biotic conditions resulting from climate change are expected to change disturbance dynamics, such as windthrow, forest fires, droughts, and insect outbreaks, and their interactions. These unprecedented natural disturbance dynamics might alter the capability of forest ecosystems to buffer atmospheric CO2 increases, potentially leading forests to transform from sinks into sources of CO2. This study aims to enhance the ORCHIDEE land surface model to study the impacts of climate change on the dynamics of the bark beetle, Ips typographus, and subsequent effects on forest functioning. The Ips typographus outbreak model is inspired by previous work from Temperli et al.\u00a0(2013) for the LandClim landscape model. The new implementation of this model in ORCHIDEE r8627 accounts for key differences between ORCHIDEE and LandClim: (1)\u00a0the coarser spatial resolution of ORCHIDEE; (2)\u00a0the higher temporal resolution of ORCHIDEE; and (3)\u00a0the pre-existing process representation of windthrow, drought, and forest structure in ORCHIDEE. Simulation experiments demonstrated the capability of ORCHIDEE to simulate a variety of post-disturbance forest dynamics observed in empirical studies. Through an array of simulation experiments across various climatic conditions and windthrow intensities, the model was tested for its sensitivity to climate, initial disturbance, and selected parameter values. The results of these tests indicated that with a single set of parameters, ORCHIDEE outputs spanned the range of observed dynamics. Additional tests highlighted the substantial impact of incorporating Ips typographus outbreaks on carbon dynamics. Notably, the study revealed that modeling abrupt mortality events as opposed to a continuous mortality framework provides new insights into the short-term carbon sequestration potential of forests under disturbance regimes by showing that the continuous mortality framework tends to overestimate the carbon sink capacity of forests in the 20- to 50-year range in ecosystems under high disturbance pressure compared to scenarios with abrupt mortality events. This model enhancement underscores the critical need to include disturbance dynamics in land surface models to refine predictions of forest carbon dynamics in a changing climate.</p></article>", "keywords": ["cycle du carbone", "[SDE] Environmental Sciences", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_24242", "P40 - M\u00e9t\u00e9orologie et climatologie", "mod\u00e8le de simulation", "Ips typographus", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_16411", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_2391", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_1666", "K70 - D\u00e9g\u00e2ts caus\u00e9s aux for\u00eats et leur protection", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_6111", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_4549f84e", "perturbation de l'\u00e9cosyst\u00e8me", "surveillance \u00e9pid\u00e9miologique", "mod\u00e9lisation", "s\u00e9cheresse", "changement climatique", "QE1-996.5", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_230ab86c", "U10 - Informatique", " math\u00e9matiques et statistiques", "Geology", "H10 - Ravageurs des plantes", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_331583", "s\u00e9questration du carbone", "dynamique des populations", "[SDE]Environmental Sciences", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_30153", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_17299"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/20.500.11850/706699"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Geoscientific%20Model%20Development", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "20.500.11850/706699", "name": "item", "description": "20.500.11850/706699", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/20.500.11850/706699"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-11-11T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5281/zenodo.15133040", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:24:45Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "InfoCarb:\u00a0Forest Inventory of the Autonomous Province of Trento (Trentino), Italy", "description": "InfoCarb: Forest Inventory of the Autonomous Province of Trento (Trentino), Italy\u00a0  Forest Carbon Stocks in the Province of Trento inventory of Trentino based on 150 plots (15 m radius) over 6200 Km2 land area.

In Europe, 25-30% of agricultural soils are considered degraded, affecting food systems, GHG emissions, habitats and water ways. To manage soil resources for multiple uses require expertise and competence from farmers and landowners to policy makers and the private sector. This report provides a synthesis on the current state of soil science in European Higher Education (HE), as a baseline to assess competency and resources for capacity development in soil science. A total of 120 survey responses were received in 2020-2021, representing Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in 25 European countries. Resultsshowed that only 13% of the HEIs hosted a dedicated soil science department. The majority of soil science is embedded in a department where environmental sciences, agricultural sciences and earth sciences are the main academic topics. Respondents reported an increased enrolment at BSc, and no change for MSc and PhD. Mixed trends could be seen for specific countries and universities, with both increases and decreases in student enrolment. Teaching capacity is high in soil science, with a majotrity of teachers having both PhD and training in HE teaching and learning. Yet, traditional lecture based teaching dominates soil science teaching and learning activities, both at BSc and MSc levels. At BSc level the proportion of courses that did not have any computer/modelling component was about 1/3. According to responses internationalisation is of great importance to many soil science HEI. Top three priorities for internationalisation were attracting students from abroad, providing more opportunities to send students abroad and developing strategic research partnerships. Finally, respondents\u2019 perception was that job opportunities for students have mainly increased in the past ten years, and one important explanation to this is an increased interest in soil, in relation to environmental concern, sustainability and climate change.", "keywords": ["2.

Description of field and lab methods  Soil collection: Soil samples were collected from 58 plots spread across evergreen and deciduous forests, using soil core sampler. The diameter of the core sampler was measured before soil collection. All soil samples were collected from 10 cm depth after removing all the leaf litter from the ground. From each plot, one soil column was collected for bulk density estimation and 10 soil columns were collected for analysis of chemical properties.  Bulk density estimation: For each sample, all the roots above 0.5 mm diameter were separated from the soil and the length and diameter of the roots were recorded. The volume of the roots were calculated. The entire sample was dried in the oven at 120\u00b0C, for 2 hours.After drying, the soil sample was sieved with a 2mm mesh sieve to separate the stones and clumped soil. The dry mass of soil and stones for each sample was recorded. The volume of the stones from each sample was measured separately using water displacement method. The total volume of soil was calculated by deducting the volume of roots and stones from volume of the soil core sampler. Bulk density was calculated as mass of the dried soil sample by the total volume of the soil.  Chemical Properties: We estimated fifteen soil chemical properties for all soil samples collected.

Monitoring the distribution of salinized soil and degree of salinization is critical for management, remediation, and utilization of salinized soil; however, there is a lack of thorough assessment of various data sources including remote sensing and landscape characteristics for estimating soil salinity in arid and semi-arid areas. The overall goal of this study was to develop a framework for estimating soil salinity in diverse landscapes by fusing information from satellite images, landscape characteristics, and appropriate machine learning models. To explore the spatial distribution of soil salinity in southern Xinjiang, China, as a case study, we obtained 151 soil samples in a field campaign, which were analyzed in laboratory for soil electrical conductivity. A total of 35 indices including remote sensing classifiers (11), terrain attributes (3), vegetation spectral indices (8), and salinity spectral indices (13) were calculated or derived and correlated with soil salinity. Nine were used to model and estimate soil salinity using four predictive modelling approaches: partial least squares regression (PLSR), convolutional neural network (CNN), support vector machine (SVM) learning, and random forest (RF). Testing datasets were divided into vegetation-covered and bare soil samples and were used for accuracy assessment. The RF model was the best regression model in this study, with R2 = 0.75, and was most effective in revealing the spatial characteristics of salt distribution. Importance analysis and path modeling of independent variables indicated that environmental factors and soil salinity indices including digital elevation model (DEM), B10, and green atmospherically resistant vegetation index (GARI) showed the strongest contribution in soil salinity estimation. This showed a great promise in the measurement and monitoring of soil salinity in arid and semi-arid areas from the integration of remote sensing, landscape characteristics, and using machine learning model.</p></article>", "keywords": ["2.

Four cover crops were grown for 3 months and 14CO2-labelled twice a week. Four out of eight replicate columns were destructively harvested to quantify root C and the carbon lost via rhizodeposition in absolute (qClvR) and relative terms (%ClvR) in bulk soil and rhizosphere soil from top- and subsoil (t1). The other four replicate columns were harvested for undisturbed incubation for one year, before final sampling (t2). Bulk soil from both sampling times were subject to a simple fractionation protocol by size, where particles larger from 50 microns were assigned to POC and smaller than 50 microns assigned to MAOC after dispersion in NaHMP. All fractions were dried, weighed and analyzed for 14C activity as disintegrations per minute (DPM). <strong>Further details</strong> Column ID 1-16 refer to columns sampled at t1, while column ID 17-32 refer to columns sampled at t2.

It comprises 225 rows (individual plants) and 51 columns (variables), integrating ecological, morphological, physiological, and environmental information. Each row represents a unique individual annotated with population and genetic cluster identifiers, spatial coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude), and an array of functional and structural traits.  Functional traits include critical photo-inactivation water content (a drought tolerance proxy), specific leaf area (SLA), and root-to-shoot biomass ratio, all of which are central to plant water-use strategies and growth efficiency. Morphometric traits\u2014such as stem diameter, plant height, number of stems, canopy width (maximum and minimum), and canopy exposure\u2014describe above-ground architectural variation. Physiological attributes include anthocyanin and phenolic concentrations, antioxidant capacity estimated via ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging assays, and germination percentage. These measures provide insight into chemical defense mechanisms and reproductive performance.  Environmental predictors were extracted using point-based values corresponding to the coordinates of each sampled population, sourced from globally recognized high-resolution datasets due to their relevance to plant eco-physiology. The Aridity Index (AI), a key proxy for water availability, was calculated as the ratio of annual precipitation to potential evapotranspiration (AI = PPT / PET), following Fisher et al. (2011). Climatic variables include mean annual precipitation (PPT) and a suite of bioclimatic variables (BIO1\u2013BIO19) from the CHELSA dataset, which provides fine-resolution climatologies suitable for ecological modeling (Karger et al., 2017). Potential evapotranspiration (PET), a metric for atmospheric water demand, was also derived from the methods of Fisher et al. (2011). In addition, UV-B radiation values were extracted from the glUV dataset, which offers spatially explicit estimates of biologically effective ultraviolet exposure (Beckmann et al., 2014).  Soil (edaphic) variables were obtained from the SoilGrids 2.0 global database (Poggio et al., 2021), including soil texture fractions (sand, silt, clay), water retention capacity, and a set of nutrient and structural properties such as nitrogen content, soil organic carbon (SOC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and the proportion of coarse fragments. These variables support fine-scale trait\u2013environment analyses and help evaluate potential adaptive responses across heterogeneous climatic and soil gradients. The dataset is well-suited for integrative ecological and evolutionary research, enabling analyses of the interaction between genomic variation, phenotypic traits, and abiotic selective pressures.  The accompanying maqui.vcf file contains genomic variant data in VCF v4.2 format, generated using BBMap v38.69. It includes 2,356 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) detected across 188 diploid individuals of A. chilensis, aligned to the Aristotelia chilensis v1.0 reference genome. Variant calling was based on 415,851,949 reads, with an average read length of 138.41 bp, an average total base quality of 39.99, and a mean mapping quality (MAPQ) of 41.03. SNPs are distributed across at least 37 reference contigs, ranging from approximately 63,940 to 113,184 base pairs in length. Genotypes are encoded in standard VCF format and include quality metrics per sample. This dataset enables population genomics analyses, including assessments of genetic structure, differentiation, and genotype\u2013environment associations.

How to scientifically construct the ecological security pattern of small-scale counties, and achieve sustainable economic development based on ecological environment protection, it has become an important proposition in regulating the ecological process effectively. Taking Fengxian County of China as an example, this paper selected the importance of ecosystem service functions and ecological sensitivity to evaluate the ecological importance and identify ecological sources. Furthermore, we constructed the ecological resistance surface by various landscape assignments and nighttime lighting modifications. Through a minimum cumulative resistance model, we obtained ecological corridors and finally constructed the ecological security pattern comprehensively combining with ecological resistance surface construction. Accordingly, we further clarified the specific control measures for ecological security barriers and regional functional zoning. This case study shows that the ecological security pattern is composed of ecological sources and corridors, where the former plays an important security role, and the latter ensures the continuity of ecological functions. In terms of the spatial layout, the ecological security barriers built based on ecological security pattern and regional zoning functions are away from the urban core development area. As for the spatial distribution, ecological sources of Fengxian County are mainly located in the central and southwestern areas, which is highly coincident with the main rivers and underground drinking water source area. Moreover, key corridors and main corridors with length of approximately 115.71\uffc2\uffa0km and 26.22\uffc2\uffa0km, respectively, formed ecological corridors of Fengxian County. They are concentrated in the western and southwestern regions of the county which is far away from the built-up areas with strong human disturbance. The results will provide scientific evidence for important ecological land protection and ecological space control at a small scale in underdeveloped and plain counties. In addition, it will enrich the theoretical framework and methodological system of ecological security pattern construction.
