SHOULD SOIL TESTING SERVICES MEASURE SOIL BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY?

Should Soil Testing Services Measure Soil Biological Activity?

Health of agricultural soils depends largely on conservation management to promote soil organic matter accumulation.Total soil organic matter changes slowly, but active fractions are more dynamic.A key indicator of healthy soil is potential biological activity, which could be measured rapidly with soil testing services via the lunette mascot flush

Analysis of the immune-inducible transcriptome from microbial stress resistant, rat-tailed maggots of the drone fly Eristalis tenax

Abstract Background The saprophagous and coprophagous maggots of the drone fly Eristalis tenax (Insecta, Diptera) have evolved the unique ability to survive in aquatic habitats with extreme microbial stress such as drains, sewage pools, and farmyard liquid manure storage pits.Therefore, they represent suitable models for the investigation of trade-

A Novel Harmonic State-space Modelling Method on the Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter and Coupling Analysis

The fractional frequency transmission system is an emerging technology for long-distance wind power integration, and the modular multilevel matrix converter (M3C) is the keen camif draps equipment.Since the M3C directly connects two ac grids with different frequencies, the external and internal harmonics have complex coupling relationships with a u

Are Aminoglycoside Antibiotics TRPing Your Metabolic Switches?

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are broadly implicated in the developmental programs of most tissues.Amongst these tissues, skeletal muscle and adipose are noteworthy for being essential in establishing systemic metabolic balance.TRP channels respond to environmental stimuli by supplying intracellular calcium that instigates enzymatic c
