Land use intensity differently influences soil communities across a range of arable fields and grasslands by Chenguang Gao, Johanna E.M. Schild, Gabriel Y.K. Moinet, T. Martijn Bezemer, Franciska T. de Vries, Jan Hassink, Nick van Eekeren, Kevin Beentjes, Peter M. van Bodegom

“…The combined effects of various agricultural practices have, until now, been largely overlooked in agroecosystems.Here, we conducted a field soil sampling campaign on 87 farms with two land use types (39 arable fields and 48 grasslands) to investigate the relationship between land use intensity, determined by various agricultural practices, and multiple soil communities (bacteria, fungi, protists and invertebrates) at regional scales.We found that land use intensity influenced the diversity and community composition of various soil taxa differently, and these impacts strongly depended on land use type. Soil fungi were most susceptible to land use intensity in both arable fields and grasslands. …”

Wang, Ji Wang

“…While the equilibrium temperature of HD 143105 b is in the transition regime between noninverted and inverted atmospheres, our analysis strongly prefers a noninverted atmosphere. Retrieval analysis indicates the atmosphere of HD 143105 b is cloud free to approximately 1 bar and dominated by H _2 O absorption ( ${\mathrm{logH}}_{2}{{\rm{O}}}_{\mathrm{MMR}}=-3.{9}_{-0.5}^{+0.8}$ ), placing only an upper limit on the CO abundance ( ${\mathrm{logCO}}_{\mathrm{MMR}}\lt -3.7$ at 95% confidence). …”

Water quality model-based methodology to assess assimilative capacity of wastewater discharges in rivers by F.M. Torres-Bejarano, M. Verbel-Escobar, M.C. Atencia-Osorio

“…Higher concentrations of water quality parameters were mostly found in the dry season since lower velocities and river flows promote less pollutants mixing and dilution processes.CONCLUSION: The model spatiotemporal simulations showed the effect of the wastewater discharges on the Sinú River assimilative capacity and made it possible to find those scenarios where water quality parameters exceeded the reference limits, becoming an essential tool for water management and the development of strong water quality objectives by stakeholders and environmental authorities.…”
