TL;DR: The results suggest that rumen pH is controlled by different mechanisms when F:C is decreased or when CRDM is increased, whereas FNDF is a good predictor of the chewing time, whereas CRDM are a good predictors of the pH range and volatile fatty acid profiles.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional spatial modeling of SOC maps according to GSM specifications is described and results of variable importance show that SoilGrids data were the best predictors for defining the soil-landscape relationship during regression modeling for SOC.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an approach to facilitate screening of various cheese-related bacteria for their ability to produce aroma compounds, which was applied to eleven species: five lactic acid bacteria (Leuconostoc lactis, Lactobacillus sakei, lactobacta paracasei, and Lactebacillus helveticus), four actinobacteria (Brachybacterium articum, Brachybacteria tyrofermentans, Brevibacterium aurantiacum, and Microbacteria g

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify proximate and ultimate controls on dissolved organic carbon and nutrient dynamics in small agricultural catchments by investigating the relationship between catchment characteristics, stream discharge, and water chemistry.
Abstract: Direct and indirect effects from human activity have dramatically increased nutrient loading to aquatic inland and estuarine ecosystems. Despite an abundance of studies investigating the impact of agricultural activity on water quality, our understanding of what determines the capacity of a watershed to remove or retain nutrients remains limited. The goal of this study was to identify proximate and ultimate controls on dissolved organic carbon and nutrient dynamics in small agricultural catchments by investigating the relationship between catchment characteristics, stream discharge, and water chemistry. We analyzed a 5-year, high-frequency water chemistry data set from three catchments in western France ranging from 2.3 to 10.8 km 2. The relationship between hydrology and solute concentrations differed between the three catchments and was associated with hedgerow density, agricultural activity, and geology. The catchment with thicker soil and higher surface roughness had relatively invariant carbon and nutrient chemistry across hydrologic conditions, indicating high resilience to human disturbance. Conversely, the catchments with smoother, thinner soils responded to both intra-and interannual hydrologic variation with high concentrations of phosphate (PO 3− 4) and ammonium (NH + 4) in streams during low flow conditions and strong increases in dissolved organic carbon (DOC), sediment , and particulate organic matter during high flows. Despite contrasting agricultural activity between catchments, the physical context (geology, topography, and land-use configuration) appeared to be the most important determinant of catchment solute dynamics based on principle components analysis. The influence of geology and accompanying topo-graphic and geomorphological factors on water quality was both direct and indirect because the distribution of agricultural activity in these catchments is largely a consequence of the geologic and topographic context. This link between inherent catchment buffering capacity and the probability of human disturbance provides a useful perspective for evaluating vulnerability of aquatic ecosystems and for managing systems to maintain agricultural production while minimizing leakage of nutrients.
