Grasslands play a crucial role in European agriculture and ecology, but are often underutilized due to low-value end-products. The utilisation of late-harvest grass for biochar heat generation on farm-level is being studied as potential negative emissions technology. Technical (energy provision carbon sink), economic (cost vs. benefit), political (regulatory framework) social (SWOT) perspectives evaluated. feasibility has been demonstrated with three different farm-scale technologies the...
Abstract Bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere of three populations Ni-hyperaccumulator Alyssum serpyllifolium subsp. lusitanicum (A. pintodasilvae; M, S, and L), one population A. malacitanum malacitanum; SB), non-hyperaccumulator serpyllifolium; SN). Isolates characterized genotypically by BOX-PCR genomic DNA fingerprinting comparative sequence analysis partial 16S rRNA gene, phenotypically their Ni tolerance (0–10 mM), presence plant growth promoting traits (indoleacetic...
Preservation and recovery of soil health have become one the priorities European environmental policies. In this context, EU Soil Protection Strategy sets concrete targets to be achieved by 2030, including improving quality in those agricultural systems that been impacted intensive practices. Aforestation land is usually considered an approach with positive effects many indicators, e.g., carbon stocks, since it consider a viable sequestration strategy stock markets. However, long-term effect...
Soil aggregates are considered the fundamental building blocks of soil structure (Reeves et al., 2019), and their formation is closely tied to content organic carbon (Bronick Lal, 2005). As key indicators quality, play a critical role in determining health functionality.Previous studies have shown that macro-aggregates tend exhibit higher rates mineralization microbial respiration compared micro-aggregates (Rabbi 2014). However, conflicting results emerged from other research, suggesting may...
The goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is native to southern Arizona and an invasive wood-boring beetle that has caused considerable mortality species in California. Assessing the dispersal capabilities of this woodborer may help determine its potential environmental economic risk within invaded region, possibly assist with development species-specific management strategies. flight performance A. adults under different age, mating, nutritional...
The Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), is an invasive woodborer that poses a serious threat to urban and natural landscapes. In North America, this beetle quarantine pest, populations are subject eradication efforts consist of the identification, removal, destruction infested host material, removal or prophylactic treatment high-risk plant species. To enhance protocols in landscapes with extensive availability, we assessed...
In this study different bacterial inoculation methods were tested for tobacco plants growing in a mine-soil contaminated with Pb, Zn, and Cd. The evaluated were: seed inoculation, soil dual event, seed+soil inoculation. Each inoculum was added at two densities (10(6) CFUs mL(-1) 10(8) mL(-1)). objectives to evaluate whether or not the mode of number applied microorganisms influences plant response. most pronounced bacterial-induced effect found biomass production, treatment (using 10(6)...
The successful restoration of well-engineered tailings storage facilities is needed to avoid mine problems. This study characterized the bacterial communities from vegetated and non-vegetated soils a red gypsum landfill resulting industrial extraction titanium. A set 275 bacteria was isolated soil areas taxonomically using BOX-PCR. also evaluated ability subset 88 on their produce plant growth promoting (PGP) traits [indoleacetic acid (IAA) production, phosphate solubilization, siderophore...
Abstract The goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is an invasive wood-borer that was recently introduced into southern California from Arizona, and has caused the rapid mortality of thousands native oaks. Biological control A. a management strategy high interest, but in its early stages, which due, part, to lack information on basic biology life history this beetle. To address shortcoming, studies were conducted quarantine realized lifetime...
Emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, is an invasive insect that has caused widespread mortality of species in North America. The ability emerald borer to utilize white fringetree as alternate host was reported recently. We aimed determine how long been under attack from the degree attack, and overall success this beetle on novel host. Stems three nine infested fringetrees collected Dayton Cincinnati, OH, areas winter 2015 yielded four live adult borers after being held rearing...
