Abstract:
C3 plants can increase nutrient uptake by increasing transpiration, which promotes the flow of water with dissolved nutrients towards the roots. However, it is not clear if this mechanism of nutrient acquisition, termed ‘mass flow’, also operates in C4 plants. This is an important question, as differences in mass flow capacity may affect competitive interactions between C3 and C4 species. To test if mass flow can be induced in C4 species, we conducted an experiment in a semiarid seasonal savanna in South Africa. We grew six C4 grasses in nutrient-poor sand and supplied no nutrients, nutrients

Abstract:
Coarse woody debris (CWD) is often overlooked in studies on the decomposition of organic matter in forest soils. To assess the role of CWD in carbon and nutrient cycling in these forest ecosystems, we investigated changes in carbon and nutrients of differently decomposed CWD samples from the forest tundra and northern, middle, and southern taiga of Central Siberia. Samples included live wood, snags, logs at the classes I, II, and III of decomposition, and fragments of decomposed wood from forest litter. At northern latitudes CWD released a larger amount of carbon and nutrients during decomposi

Conventionally organic carbon is assumed to be the limiting nutrient of regrowth.

Abstract. The terrestrial-aquatic interface is a crucial environment in which to consider the fate of exported terrestrial carbon in the aquatic system. To a large extent the fate of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) may be controlled by nutrient availability.

Some of the major problems we face today are human induced changes to the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and carbon (C) cycles. Predicted increases in rainfall and temperature due to climate change, may also increase dissolved organic matter (DOM) inflows to freshwater ecosystems in the boreal zone. N, P, C and light, are essential resources that most often limit phytoplankton (PPr) and bacterial production (BP) in the pelagic zone of lakes. PPr and BP not only constitute the total basal C resource for the pelagic aquatic food web, but also influence ecosystem function and biogeochemical cycles.

In return, host plants provide the colonizing fungus with carbon (C)-rich photosynthates such as sugar and lipids.

Abstract:
Abstract This investigation was carried out to determine the most effective biocide inhibitor for Northern Arabian Gulf Seawater. This seawater will be used for water injection purposes for some oil fields in Kuwait. Arabian Gulf Seawater is known to be very saline during the summer months and less saline during the rainy season of spring. The biocide inhibitors were tested in a rig with six side streams biofouling monitoring tubes (SBMT). Bacterial nutrients were added to the system and carbon steel studs were placed along the tubes of the biocide evaluation test rig (BETR). After a month, a

Abstract:
Abstract In the oil and gas industry, water flooding, often with a polymer additive, is used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to increase reservoir pressure because reservoirs are aging. This practice causes operational concerns because water flooding brings nutrients and microbes downhole, which may allow microbes to flourish. Polymers such as carboxymethyl cellulose sodium are used in EOR to increase the viscosity of the injection water. However, there is a possibility that EOR polymers may be utilized as a carbon source by microbes downhole causing reservoir souring and microbiologically infl

Abstract A mixed culture of D. gabonensis and D. capillatus, in synthetic seawater supplemented with nutrients formed a biofilm combined with ferrous sulfide corrosion products that largely covered carbon steel electrodes (SAE-1020). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and open circuit potential (OCP) measurements were carried out for this study. Electrochemical impedance results indicated the formation of three films: an inner corrosion products film, an outer corrosion products film and the biofilm or organic film in abiotic media. After one month of batch culture, it was observed t

Abstract:
Abstract Reservoir Souring is the unplanned production of increased concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in well-stream fluids from production wells that are subjected to water-injection. The consequences of souring with respect to safety, corrosion and environmental risk can be significant. This is typically associated with the activity of a specialized group, the Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). However, in recent years, various other micro-organisms are believed to be involved in souring, e.g. Sulfate reducing archaea (SRA). In this study, fixed film up flow bioreactors (FFUBR) were uti

Abstract:
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) and coastal hypoxic zones are evidence of cultural nutrient enrichment affecting public health and water supplies, aquatic ecosystem health, and economic well-being in the United States. Recognition of the far-reaching impacts of Midwest agriculture has led to establishing nutrient reduction objectives for surface waters feeding the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Erie, and many smaller water bodies. Municipal nutrient enrichment impacts have been addressed by increasing levels of sewage treatment and waste management through the Clean Water Act era, but HABs rebounded in the

Abstract:
Biogas solutions in the Nordics is undergoing rapid developments and the demand for biogas is ever increasing because of the Russian war on Ukraine and the transition to fossil free industry and transportation. Furthermore, with the introduction of several multi-national companies into the biogas sector in the Nordics and with more and more biomethane being traded across national borders, it becomes increasingly important to view biogas solutions in the Nordics as a whole and to go beyond the confines of each individual nation.

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has designed and constructed thousands of acres of ecosystem restoration features within the Upper Mississippi River System. Many of these projects incorporate island construction to restore geomorphic diversity and habitat, including floodplain forests. Soils are the foundation of the ecological function and successful establishment of floodplain forests as they are the basis through which plants obtain water and nutrients and provide critical ecosystem services. To improve floodplain forest island restoration outcomes, three natural and four recently (&

Wastewater sludge contains essential nutrients for plant growth and is frequently used as fertilizer in European agriculture. Sludge contains elevated concentrations of heavy metals, microplastics, and other substances that may pose potential risks to human health and the environment. Nevertheless, dried pelletized sludge emerges as a viable product for fertilizing short-rotation poplar plantations within a circular model, enabling nutrient recycling and converting waste into a valuable resource to enhance biomass production for different markets.

Like all living things, humans are "open systems." We're part of - not separate from - our environment, and we continually exchange materials, energy and information with it. What happens when we eat a piece of fruit, for instance? First, we use our senses (taste, smell, sight, touch, hearing) to gather information (Is it ripe?). Then, the fruit's material compounds enter our bodies. As we digest the fruit and break down and absorb its nutrients, energy accumulated from photosynthesis is released. We use this energy to burn carbohydrates through a process called cellular respiration. Being ope

The function of the 30-kilodalton movement protein (MP) of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is to facilitate cell-to-cell movement of viral progeny in infected plants. Our earlier findings have indicated that this protein has a direct effect on plasmodesmal function. In addition, these studies demonstrated that constitutive expression of the TMV MP gene (under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter) in transgenic tobacco plants significantly affects carbon metabolism in source leaves and alters the biomass distribution between the various plant organs.

Abstract:
Wetlands at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (FLFO) are important because they are biodiversity hotspots and support iconic wildlife. They also provide valuable ?ecosystem services? such as attenuating floods, storing water, recharging aquifers, stabilizing and sequestering sediment, storing carbon, enhancing water quality, and cycling nutrients. This report summarizes 11 years (2009?2019) of wetland monitoring in three sentinel wetland complexes in FLFO. Monitoring included annual samples of 10 wet meadow and fen wetland sites in these complexes. We partition the data into a baseline
