Abstract:: ... Conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) could make lignocellulosic biorefineries more profitable and sustainable. Glucose, xylose and arabinose are the main sugars derived from pretreatment and hydrolysis of herbaceous feedstocks. Burkholderia sacchari DSM 17165 is a bacterium that can convert these sugars into PHB. However, the effects of sugar ratio, sugar concentra ...

Abstract:: ... Soil fauna play critical roles in various ecosystem functions and services, but empirical data measuring their impact on dung pat decomposition and subsequent nutrient cycling into rangeland soils are limited. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of soil fauna, using dung beetle as an indicator, on dung decomposition and subsequent translocation of dung nutrients into grassland s ...

Abstract:: ... Soil fauna plays a critical role in various ecosystem processes, but empirical data measuring its impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from rangelands are limited. We quantified the effects of dung beetles on in situ CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O emissions from simulated cattle dung deposits. Soil in meadows of the semiarid Nebraska Sandhills was treated with three treatments (dung pats with exposure and ...

Abstract:: ... The Haney Soil Health Tool is a suite of tests integrating chemical and biological factors to provide a sophisticated analysis of soil nutrient availability. This research was conducted to determine if Haney tests (including H³A and water extracts, Solvita 24-h CO₂ evolution, and Soil Health Calculation [SHC]) can add value to conventional chemical soil testing methods and increase knowledge of th ...
