Our results suggest that BC aging is strongly influenced by soil traits.
We conducted ∼50,000 detailed energy and airflow simulations in 427 locations across Brazil, varying 55 parameters representing building morphology, fenestration, construction properties, internal gains, operating times, wind modifiers, flowpaths, window control, and soil traits.
For soil traits, we focus on previously published data on extractable phosphorus, aluminum, manganese, pH, and slope.
Since soil is highly heterogeneous, that is, soil traits greatly vary in space [24], [25], 20 soil samples from a Solidago or Stipa community were completely composited to homogenize initial soils.
Yet soil traits, harvested organ age, and other arguably mandatory experimental details are omitted from research articles on traditional knowledge and folk medicines.
To examine the effects of the interaction of the two plant species on soil traits, initial soil samples from experimental units and soil samples (0 10 cm in depth) after harvest were collected from each of the 25 m plots.
These approaches can also simultaneously take into account multiple environmental variables, such as native water availability, temperature, and soil traits, thereby potentially minimizing (or maximizing) the influence of traits that affect more than one environmental factor.
Many academic scientists who don't work for Monsanto or any other large corporation are struggling to develop crops that have added nutrients and others that will tolerate drought, floods, or salty soil — all traits needed desperately by the world's poorest farmers.
We apply the concept of ecological intensification to soils and we develop strategies for targeted exploitation of soil biological traits.
Information regarding the simultaneous evaluation of tillage and fertilization on the soil biological traits in canola production is not available.
Alone, management practices had little to no impact on soil microbial traits, however, significant management by landscape position and management by time interactions were observed for extracellular enzymes.
