Biochar reduces the efficiency of nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) mitigating N2O emissions
(Nature Publishing, 2019-02-20)
Among strategies suggested to decrease agricultural soil N2O losses, the use of nitrification inhibitors such as DMPP (3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate) has been proposed. However, the efficiency of DMPP might be affected ...
New Insights on Arabidopsis thaliana Root Adaption to Ammonium Nutrition by the Use of a Quantitative Proteomic Approach
(MDPI, 2019-02-14)
Nitrogen is an essential element for plant nutrition. Nitrate and ammonium are the two major inorganic nitrogen forms available for plant growth. Plant preference for one or the other form depends on the interplay between ...
Immediate and Legacy Effects of Urban Pollution on River Ecosystem Functioning: a Mesocosm Experiment
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Effluents from urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) consist of complex mixtures of substances that can affect processes in the receiving ecosystems. Some of these substances (toxic contaminants) stress biological ...
Species Composition and Plant Traits of South Atlantic European Coastal Dunes and Other Comparative Data
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
The data reported in this article relates to the research article entitled “Changes in plant diversity patterns along dune zonation in south Atlantic European coasts” (Torca et al., 2019) [1]. Data about traits of species ...
Testing the effects of food quality, as well as chemical contamination of water and sediments, on aquatic detrital systems using laboratory experiments.
(2019-02-15)
Materia organikoaren kalitate aldaketek eta kutsadura kimikoak sistema detritikoetan duten eragina aztertzea izan da tesi honen helburu nagusia. Horretarako, laborategiko mikrokosmo esperimentuak erabili dira tesian zehar. ...
Molecular and biochemical analysis of XDH from Phaseolus vulgaris suggest that uric acid protects the enzyme against the inhibitory effects of nitric oxide in nodules
(Elsevier, 2019-09-05)
Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) is essential for the assimilation of symbiotically fixed nitrogen in ureidic legumes. Uric acid, produced in the reaction catalyzed by XDH, is the precursor of the ureides, allantoin and ...
Modified atmosphere packaging and dark/light refrigerated storage in green leafy vegetables have impact on nutritional value
(Springer, 2019-01-04)
The consumption of zeaxanthin (Z) through a vegetable-rich diet is recommended to reduce the progression of age-related macular degeneration. Due to Z’s intrinsic dynamic character that results from its participation in ...
Effects of multiple stressors associated with agriculture on stream macroinvertebrate communities in a tropical catchment
(Public Library Science, 2019-08-08)
Tropical forests are declining at unprecedented rates in favour of agriculture, and streams can be severely impacted due to effects of multiple stressors that have rarely been considered together in tropical studies. We ...
Desiccation Tolerance in Chlorophyllous Fern Spores: Are Ecophysiological Features Related to Environmental Conditions?
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-20)
Fern spores of most species are desiccation tolerant (DT) and, in some cases, are photosynthetic at maturation, the so-called chlorophyllous spores (CS). The lifespan of CS in the dry state is very variable among species. ...
Soil nitrogen dynamics during an oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) growing cycle in a humid Mediterranean climate
(Nature Publishing, 2019-09-25)
Nitrogen budgets help explain the supply pattern of N from the soil to the crop. Through budgeting, an improvement of the N fertilization strategy can be achieved. The objective of the present study, which was carried out ...
