TL;DR: The results demonstrate that N fertilizer source and climate conditions need consideration when selecting N sources to reduce GHG emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used FTIR spectral features at respective temperatures during in situ pyrolysis of lignocellulosic feedstock matched the peak temperature of post-production analysis.

TL;DR: Air and physical properties were correlated to shifts in microbial community structure as analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) and measured by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).

TL;DR: According to quantitative real-time PCR analyses, alum addition to the poultry litter resulted in significant reductions in both Campylobacter jejuni and Escherichia coli concentrations by the end of the first month of the experiment, suggesting that the addition of alum to poultry litter potentially shifts the microbial populations from bacterially dominated to dominated by fungi.

TL;DR: Two studies were conducted to quantify broiler litter N mineralization with the following treatments: two soil moisture regimes, constant at 60% water fill pore space (WFPS) and fluctuating (60-30% WFPS), three soil types, Brooksville silty clay loam, Ruston sandy loam from Mississippi, and Catlin silt loam.
