TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored intercropping of forage grasses (Brachiaria brizantha and Brachiaria humidicola) with distinct BNI and yield potential to increase N cycling in maize production systems over two years compared to monocrop with two N rates (0 and 150 kg ha-1) applied during the maize season.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Proton Transfer Reaction-Time of Flight-Mass Spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS) to investigate the metabolic trajectory of microbiomes from a subalpine forest soil, and their response to a simulated wet-up event akin to snowmelt.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the Michaelis-Menten (MM) kinetics of three ubiquitous enzymes involved in carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) acquisition at six soil depths down to 90 cm at a temperate coniferous forest, and their temperature sensitivity based on Arrhenius and Macromolecular Rate Theory (MMRT) models over six temperatures between 4-50°C.

TL;DR: The results show that the microarray, when used in conjunction with geochemical data and knowledge of the physiological properties of relevant taxa, provided accurate assessment of the response of key functional groups to biostimulation.

TL;DR: A significant association between the foregut microbiome and GERD sequence, if demonstrated, will be the first step for eventually testing whether an abnormal microbiome is required for the development of the sequence of phenotypic changes toward EA.
