Biochars are increasingly used as soil amendment and for C sequestration in soils. The influence of feedstock differences pyrolysis temperature on biochar characteristics has been widely studied. However, there is a lack knowledge about the formation potentially toxic compounds that remain biochars after pyrolysis. We investigated from three feedstocks (wheat straw, poplar wood, spruce wood) were slowly pyrolyzed at 400, 460, 525°C 5 h (straw) 10 (woodchips), respectively. characterized...
Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an essential and often limiting element that could play a crucial role in terrestrial ecosystem responses to climate warming. However, it has yet remained unclear how different P cycling processes are affected by Here we investigate the response of soil pools mountain forest after 14 years warming (+4 °C). Long-term decreased total pools, likely due higher outputs from soils increasing net plant uptake downward transportation colloidal particulate P. Warming...

Thirty commercially available yeast cell wall products and two reference bentonites were tested for their ability to bind aflatoxin B(1) (AFB1) zearalenone (ZON) in buffer solutions at pH 3 6.5 as well real gastric juice. For most products, the binding efficacy of AFB1 correlated with ash content, which was between 2.6 89%, constituted inorganic non-volatile components, such mineral clays, samples. Samples smectite main component showed highest efficacy; yet, a correlation content...
Charcoals were produced from spruce and beech wood under laboratory conditions at different pyrolysis temperatures (300–1300 °C). Characterization of these charcoals was conducted using eight analytical methods. Each method describes specific changes in the temperature range until 1300 °C. Therefore, combination methods provides comprehensive information on stages. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, NMR thermogravimetry display 700 A prediction model for 800 °C is presented...
This experimental study analyses the extent of chemo-mineralogical changes that occur when a building stone encounters cycling isothermal treatment at 600 °C. Four carbonate and two silicate European stones were analysed in their fresh quarried thermally treated conditions by means colour measurements, situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy. Furthermore, powdered samples characterised Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, simultaneous thermal analysis, thermogravimetry (TG). The...
Aflatoxins are a class of mycotoxins that impair poultry health and performance. Some clays have the ability to adsorb aflatoxins. In our study, mineralogical composition tested was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction simultaneous thermal analysis their properties like pH, electrical conductivity, exchangeable cations, cation exchange capacity clay content were determined. For in vitro assessment regarding aflatoxin B 1 (AFB ) adsorption, adsorption tests under ‘intensified conditions’...
Abstract The Galápagos archipelago is a well‐suited model ecosystem for investigating soil evolution. Here, we study mineral transformations and pedogenesis of the volcanic soils in response to weathering duration (1,500–1,070,000 yr) climate (humid vs. dry). Our results show that pH, electrical conductivity, organic C content, cation exchange capacity (CEC), water retention decreased whereas clay content bulk density increased with age under humid climate. Andic properties were expressed...
The effect of water reduction stress on photosynthetic efficiency and the agronomic traits 10 bread winter wheat cultivars were investigated, with an aim to develop breeding methods for improving drought tolerance. In 2008 2009 crop seasons, trial was grown in vegetative pots according method a 2-factorial experiment (cultivar treatment) as randomized complete block 3 replications. stressed version treatment exposed mild short-term times (at end tillering stage, at flag leaf beginning...
