Novel technology to improve the high permselectivity and anti-biofouling properties of RO membranes
Reverse osmosis (RO) has attracted wide attention for its extensive applicability in brackish water and seawater desalination. Thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide (PA) RO membranes consisting of a dense separating layer and a porous support layer hav.....»»
Completing the micronutrient picture for plant-based milk alternatives
Plant-based milk alternatives are an attractive option for people with allergies or intolerances, or who prefer a dairy-free diet. However, because some essential minerals are required to be included on the Nutrition Facts label only under certain ci.....»»
"Deep biosphere" shaped by dissolved organic material from Earth"s surface
A research team with lead author Helena Osterholz of the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research (IOW) reports in the latest issue of the journal Nature Communications on possible pathways by which microbial communities in the nutrient-poor "deep b.....»»
Study reveals how hunting hawks home in on prey inside a chaotic swarm
A study published this week in Nature Communications shows how hunting hawks solve the problem of intercepting a single bat within a dense swarm. The findings increase our understanding of how predators select and track a target among thousands of po.....»»
Study finds washing effectively removes lead from vegetables grown in urban soil
Urban gardens offer many benefits for individual health, communities, and ecosystems. They promote sustainable agriculture, reduce food transportation costs, and reduce water runoff. However, urban gardeners also face several challenges, one of which.....»»
Better understanding needed of below-ground carbon allocation and its efficiency for nutrient acquisition
Plants allocate large amounts of photosynthetic carbon metabolites to roots and soil and thereby rely on the root-soil-microbe interactions to acquire soil nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) for aboveground growth......»»
Pheasant meat sold for food found to contain many tiny shards of toxic lead
Eating pheasant killed using lead shot is likely to expose consumers to raised levels of lead in their diet, even if the meat is carefully prepared to remove the shotgun pellets and the most damaged tissue......»»

Should we be trying to create a circular urine economy?
Urine has lots of nitrogen and phosphorus—a problem as waste, great as fertilizer. Enlarge (credit: Peter Dazeley) Removing urine from wastewater and using it as fertilizer has the potential to decrease nutrient loading in w.....»»
Study reveals changeable tendency of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen in dryland
Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles play important roles in the prediction of climate change and ecosystem sustainability in the dryland. Climate change has threatened the nutrient balance of dryland ecosystems; however, its impact on soil organic car.....»»
Research shows pairing herbicides with prescribed burning improves downy brome control
Downy brome is an annual winter grass invading millions of acres of western rangelands and wildlands. It emerges early in the spring while native perennials are still dormant and creates dense mats of litter as it dies back at the end of its growing.....»»
No-till farming study shows benefit to Midwestern land values
No-till farming, considered to be a more environmentally friendly farming practice that reduces soil disturbance when compared with conventional practices, appears to have an important benefit besides reducing soil erosion and nutrient runoff......»»
Which diet will help save our planet: Climatarian, flexitarian, vegetarian or vegan?
The food we consume has a massive impact on our planet. Agriculture takes up half the habitable land on Earth, destroys forests and other ecosystems and produces a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Meat and dairy specifically accounts.....»»
Parasitic behavior of the root-knot nematode is negatively regulated by root-derived volatiles of C. metuliferus
Recently, scientists from the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science provided new insights into the correlation between cucurbit root volatiles and root-knot nematode parasitism, paving the way for developm.....»»
Discovery of the interactions between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS) is one of the most ancient and broadly occurring mutualistic associations between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This intimate relationship improves plant mineral nutrient acquisition, which.....»»
Metabolically engineered bacterium produces lutein
Lutein is classified as a xanthophyll chemical that is abundant in egg yolk, fruits, and vegetables. It protects the eye from oxidative damage from radiation and reduces the risk of eye diseases including macular degeneration and cataracts. Commercia.....»»
How do plants regulate their sugar metabolism?
To carry out their functions in the cell, many proteins require the chemical properties of bound metals such as copper. If this nutrient is in short supply, plants respond by enhancing its uptake and by replacing some copper-utilizing proteins by cop.....»»
