Biological soil crusts affect small-scale spatial patterns of inorganic N in a semiarid Mediterranean grassland
The influence of biological soil crusts (BSCs) on the small-scale spatial distribution of inorganic nitrogen (N) in drylands is largely unknown, despite their known impact and importance on the N cycle in these environments. We evaluated how perennial plants and BSCs affected small-scale spatial patterns of soil inorganic N (ammonium and nitrate) availability in a semiarid grassland from Spain....

متن کاملContribution of above- and below-ground plant traits to the structure and function of grassland soil microbial communities.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Abiotic properties of soil are known to be major drivers of the microbial community within it. Our understanding of how soil microbial properties are related to the functional structure and diversity of plant communities, however, is limited and largely restricted to above-ground plant traits, with the role of below-ground traits being poorly understood. This study investiga...
متن کاملMeasuring Rainfall from above and below the Sea Surface
Satellites play a major role in the determination of the rainfall at sea. Researchers at Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) have been involved in two projects addressing this task. First they have been instrumental in developing techniques to retrieve rain rate information from the 10+ years of dual-frequency altimeter data. The TOPEX radar measures rainfall via the attenuation it causes, pr...
متن کاملDifference between efficiency of ultrasound treatments above and below the membrane surface in membrane clarification of pomegranate juice
Microfiltration can clarify pomegranate juice; however, fouling is a limiting phenomenon in the process. In current work ultrasound was applied above and below the membrane surface to reduce fouling after removing temperature effect. A hydrophilic mixed cellulose ester membrane with pore size of 0.45 μm was used in lab scale flat sheet module. Membrane module was placed above and below the ultr...
