Density, Diversity, and Growth-Promoting Potential of Cowpea-Associated Bacteria Isolated From Soils with Cassava WastewaterNARA Subscribed
The objective of this study was to isolate and select bacteria from soils with previous cassava wastewater deposition, aiming to identify strains capable of promoting vegetative growth of Vigna unguiculata L. Walp. Eight soil samples were collected near cassava flour processing facilities in Vitória da Conquista – Bahia and cultured on Burks and FAM media. Fifty-five bacterial isolates were obtained and evaluated for morpholog...
The consumption of vegetables is essential for human health. However, in regions affected by mining activities, this practice may pose serious risks due to potential heavy metal contamination at the soil–plant interface. This study evaluated the phytotoxicity and metal mobility in lettuce cultivated in mine tailing-contaminated soils after the Córrego do Feijão dam failure (Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil). The increase in so...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Accurate knowledge of the global distribution of non-indigenous species (NIS) is essential for understanding their invasion dynamics and for implementing timely management measures. This study reports the first records of the marine amphipod Aoroides longimerus, putatively native to the East Asian coast, in Italy (2018), Spain (2019) and Tunisia (2022) and provides the earliest documented record of the species in its introduce...
A comparative study of worm-sludge treatment reed bed planted with Phragmites australis and Arundo donax in the Mediterranean regionNARA Subscribed
Sludge treatment reed bed planted (STRB) with Phragmites australis ( P.australis ) and Arundo donax ( A.donax ) was assessed in the presence of Eisenia fetida under control condition during the dry season. Worm-planted units were fed with mixed sewage sludge (dry and volatile solids of 29.44 g DS.L −1 and 24.23 g VS.L −1 ). Sludge loading rates (SLR) of 50, 60, and 70 kg DS m −2 year −1 were examined to assess dewatering effic...
