Do cover crops benefit soil microbiome? A meta-analysis of current research
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-03)
Cover cropping is a promising sustainable agricultural method with the potential to enhance soil health and mitigate consequences of soil degradation. Because cover cropping can form an agroecosystem distinct from that of ...
Spatial heterogeneity provides organic matter refuges for soil microbial activity in the Patagonian steppe, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-06)
In arid and semi-arid ecosystems that are frequently classified as water limited, it is unclear how spatial and temporal variability of vegetation and climate could affect microbially-mediated soil processes. Our objective ...
Microcellular Electrode Material for Microbial Bioelectrochemical Systems Synthesized by Hydrothermal Carbonization of Biomass Derived Precursors
(American Chemical Society, 2016-05)
A new monolithic carbonaceous material, 750-HMF-CarboHIPE, is presented here. The new electrode has been tested as an anode material inside a microbial bioelectrochemical system. In a purposely designed continuous flow ...
A calorimetric analysis of soil treated with effective microorganisms
(Elsevier Science, 2013-07)
Effective microorganisms or EM is a consortium of beneficial microorganisms (primarily photosyntheticand lactic acid bacteria, yeast, actinomycetes, and fermenting fungi) that can be applied as inoculants toincrease the ...
Soil microbial communities respond to an environmental gradient of grazing intensity in south Patagonia Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-01)
Soil microorganisms communities regulate key functions in terrestrial ecosystems and contributes to the formation of stable organic matter and hence climate change mitigation. The structure, diversity and activity of soil ...
Soil microbial communities under different soybean cropping systems: Characterization of microbial population dynamics, soil microbial activity, microbial biomass, and fatty acid profiles
(Elsevier, 2008-12-05)
This work analyzes the direct effect of soil management practices on soil microbial communities, which may affect soil productivity and sustainability. The experimental design consisted of two tillage treatments: reduced ...
A calorimetric study of the interaction between Brachiaria platyphylla and soil microbial activity
(Elsevier Science, 2011-11)
Recently, lemon tree plantations in Tucumán province, Argentina were invaded with the weed Brachiaria platyphylla (broadleaf signalgrass). In order to understand the mechanisms involved with its propagation, soils collected ...
Microbial Consortia, a Viable Alternative for Cleanup of Contaminated Soils
(Springer, 2014)
The growth population and anthropogenic activity are constantly threatening the environment caused by the accumulation of different kinds of pollutants in the biosphere, especially in soils and sediments. Co-contaminated ...
Fossil bubble structure related to microbial activity coeval with the middle Ediacaran Oceanic Oxygenation Event in the Tandilia System
(Asociación Argentina de Sedimentología, 2021-10)
The well-preserved limestone succession, Loma Negra Formation (~40 m), in the Tandilia System was deposited in a shallow carbonate ramp under low energy conditions. The evolution in the depositional settings of the unit ...
Analytical applications of microbial fuel cells. Part II: Toxicity, microbial activity and quantification, single analyte detection and other uses
(Elsevier, 2014-05-09)
Microbial fuel cells were rediscovered twenty years ago and now are a very active research area. The reasons behind this new activity are the relatively recent discovery of electrogenic or electroactive bacteria and the ...
