Soil Microbial Diversity and Network Organization Respond to Land Use and Agricultural Inputs WorldwideNARA Subscribed
Soil microbiomes are critical for ecosystem functioning, yet the global influences of climate and agricultural practices on their diversity and structure remain incompletely characterized. Here we analyzed 1921 soil samples from 33 countries worldwide across diverse biomes to assess how climate gradients and agricultural inputs, including pesticides and fertilizers, shape prokaryotic and fungal communities. We found that micro...
Early inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi shifts metabolic functions of rhizosphere bacteria in field-grown tomato plantsNARA Subscribed
Aim The study explores the functional plasticity of rhizosphere microbiomes in response to microbial inoculants, a topic not yet fully explored in open-field agroecosystems. Specifically, it assesses the lasting impact of nursery-stage inoculation with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Rhizophagus irregularis and symbiosis-stimulating compounds on the rhizosphere microbiome of Solanum lycopersicum . Methods Tomato seedli...
Aim Understanding the evolutionary processes shaping species distributions requires an integrative approach encompassing phylogeographic and biogeographic perspectives. Hamadryas butterflies represent a good model for such research, due to their widely studied ecological and evolutionary characteristics and the availability of detailed data on their distribution and taxonomy. This study investigates the drivers of diversificat...
Seriola dumerili is a fast-growing species under culture conditions with significant potential for diversification of marine aquaculture. The interest in this species raises new challenges for its culture, such as the design of suitable procedures and appropriate conditions in order to determine the adequate operational parameters for animal welfare, which will also allow the generation of management protocols that guarantee t...
Microwave-Assisted Transesterification of Soybean Oil Using Eggshell-Derived SrFe/CaO CatalystsNARA Subscribed
This work proposes the use of a novel non-magnetic SrFe/CaO catalyst derived from waste materials, which have not been reported for biodiesel production under microwave conditions. Also, it evaluates the interaction of multiple reaction factors through statistical modeling. While CaO has been widely used in biodiesel production, its leaching and limited stability have motivated the search for improved materials. Hence, the Sr/...
Microwave-assisted acid treatment for the mineral transformation of chrysotile as an alternative for asbestos waste managementNARA Subscribed
In this work, the effect of microwave-assisted acid treatments on the morphological and crystallochemical characteristics of chrysotile fibers is investigated. A low concentration of nitric acid (0.2 N) is used to remove Mg 2+ -species located in the octahedral sheet of its structure, thereby causing a crystallo-chemical change forming a skeleton of non-crystalline amorphous silica. This skeleton maintains an elongated morphol...
