TL;DR: The influence of spray programs on the fauna of apple orchards in Nova Scotia XIV and its relation to the natural control of the oyster shell scale Lepidosaphes ulmi L.
Quantitative synthesis on the ecosystem services of cover crops
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively synthesized different ecosystem services provided by cover crops (e.g., erosion control, water quality regulation, soil moisture retention, accumulation of soil organic matter and microbial biomass, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, weed and pest control, as well as yield of the subsequent cash crop) using data from previous publications.

Effects of ground cover management on improving water and soil conservation in tree crop systems: A meta-analysis
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a worldwide meta-analysis of 85 peer-reviewed publications from Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases, to quantify the effectiveness of ground cover in reducing runoff, soil and nutrient losses.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform
Heng Li,Richard Durbin +1 more
TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.

An extraction method for measuring soil microbial biomass c
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fumigation on organic C extractable by 0.5 m K2SO4 were examined in a contrasting range of soils and it was shown that both ATP and organic C rendered decomposable by CHCl3 came from the soil microbial biomass.

Metagenomic biomarker discovery and explanation
Nicola Segata,Jacques Izard,Jacques Izard,Levi Waldron,Dirk Gevers,Larisa Miropolsky,Wendy S. Garrett,Curtis Huttenhower +7 more
TL;DR: A new method for metagenomic biomarker discovery is described and validates by way of class comparison, tests of biological consistency and effect size estimation to address the challenge of finding organisms, genes, or pathways that consistently explain the differences between two or more microbial communities.
