1. Integrating the pastoral component in agricultural systems
ABSTRACT This paper aims to discuss the impact of the introduction of pastures and grazing animals in agricultural systems. For the purposes of this manuscript, we focus on within-farm integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS), typical of Southern Brazil. These ICLS are designed to create and enhance the synergisms and emergent properties have arisen from agr

2. Hydro-physical characterization of soils under the Restinga Forest
ABSTRACT: Knowledge of the hydraulic properties of the soil is of crucial importance to an understanding of the interactions between vegetation, soil and water. There is little information available about the hydraulic properties of Podzol soils found in tropical regions. The aim of this study was to present the soil morphology and hydraulic properties of a

3. Effects of forest structure on litter production, soil chemical composition and litter-soil interactions
ABSTRACT Litter production in forest ecosystems is a major indicator of primary productivity because litter helps incorporate carbon and nutrients from plants into the soil and is directly involved in plant-soil interactions. To our knowledge, few studies have investigated the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem processes in subtropical fore

4. Poaceae communities in the savannas of the Amazon Estuary in Brazil
We sought to identify the major environmental factors that affect the diversity and distribution of Poaceae in the savannas of the Amazon Estuary. The study was conducted across seven areas of savanna in the Amazon Estuary, within which 160 subplots of 1 m² each were established within four 10 × 100 m plots. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 0-20 c

5. Comunidade bacteriana, atributos do solo e fluxo de gases em solo sob Cerrado e cana-de-açúcar / Bacterial community, soil properties and gas fluxes in a soil under Cerrado and sugarcane
The sugarcane crop plays an important role on Brazilian economy, and is passing through an expansion process concentrated mainly on the Cerrado (savannah) biome (Middle West region of Brazil). In order to understand the influence of sugarcane cultivation and management on soil chemical, physical and biological properties, we studied two sugarcane areas, with

6. Estudo da influência dos perfis de solo em sistemas rotor-mancais-fundação / Study of the influence of soil profiles on rotor-bearings-foundation systems
Nas últimas três décadas houve um desenvolvimento notável em métodos e tópicos de pesquisa a respeito da análise da dinâmica de máquinas rotativas. Um dos tópicos que têm atraído a atenção de pesquisadores é a interação de máquinas rotativas com suas estruturas de suporte. Sabe-se que a dinâmica da estrutura pode exercer um importante pape

7. Fate and activity of microorganisms introduced into soil.
Introduced microorganisms are potentially powerful agents for manipulation of processes and/or components in soil. Fields of application include enhancement of crop growth, protection of crops against plant-pathogenic organisms, stimulation of biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds (bioaugmentation), and improvement of soil structure. Inoculation of soils ha

8. Eco-evolutionary feedbacks in community and ecosystem ecology: interactions between the ecological theatre and the evolutionary play
Interactions between natural selection and environmental change are well recognized and sit at the core of ecology and evolutionary biology. Reciprocal interactions between ecology and evolution, eco-evolutionary feedbacks, are less well studied, even though they may be critical for understanding the evolution of biological diversity, the structure of commun

9. Food-web constraints on biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships
The consequences of biodiversity loss for ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services have aroused considerable interest during the past decade. Recent work has focused mainly on the impact of species diversity within single trophic levels, both experimentally and theoretically. Experiments have usually showed increased plant biomass and productivity with i

10. Biological impact on mineral dissolution: Application of the lichen model to understanding mineral weathering in the rhizosphere
Microorganisms modify rates and mechanisms of chemical and physical weathering and clay growth, thus playing fundamental roles in soil and sediment formation. Because processes in soils are inherently complex and difficult to study, we employ a model based on the lichen–mineral system to identify the fundamental interactions. Fixed carbon released by

11. An Extracellular Matrix-Associated Zinc Metalloprotease Is Required for Dilauroyl Phosphatidylethanolamine Chemotactic Excitation in Myxococcus xanthus
An extracellular matrix connects bacteria that live in organized assemblages called biofilms. While the role of the matrix in the regulation of cell behavior has not been extensively examined in bacteria, we suggest that, like mammalian cells, the matrix facilitates cell-cell interactions involved with regulation of cohesion, motility, and sensory transducti

12. Biotransformation and detoxification of T-2 toxin by soil and freshwater bacteria.
Bacterial communities isolated from 17 of 20 samples of soils and waters with widely diverse geographical origins utilized T-2 toxin as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth. These isolates readily detoxified T-2 toxin as assessed by a Rhodotorula rubra bioassay. The major degradation pathway of T-2 toxin in the majority of isolates involved side cha
