DOI: 10.1007/s00374-017-1194-0
Abstract: Agricultural soils receive large amounts of anthropogenic nitrogen (N), which directly and indirectly affect soil organic matter (SOM) stocks and CO2 fluxes. However, our current understanding of mechanisms on how N fertilization affects SOM pools… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00374-017-1251-8
Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is an essential but limited nutrient in highly weathered subtropical or tropical forest soils; however, increased P demands owing to elevated nitrogen (N) deposition might further exacerbate the P limitation in these regions.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2018.04.004
Abstract: Abstract An important limitation of continuous-culture fermenters is their inability of maintaining microbial populations similar to those observed in the rumen, especially protozoa numbers, which usually decrease markedly or even disappear. Two approaches (a polyurethane-sponge… read more here.
