Bioaccessibility, bioaccumulation and effects of tire-associated chemicals for aquatic and soil-dwelling organisms

Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset

Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are produced by the friction between the tires and road and consist of polymer-containing tread with pavement encrustations. There are many data gaps remaining regarding their fate and potential toxicological impact on t ...

PDMS filter structures for size-dependent larval sorting and on-chip egg extraction of C. elegans

Martinus Gijs, Furkan Ayhan, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

C. elegans-based assays require age-synchronized populations prior to experimentation to achieve standardized sets of worm populations, due to which age-induced heterogeneous phenotyping effects can be avoided. There have been several approaches to synchro ...

Pioneer plant Phalaris arundinacea and earthworms promote initial soil structure formation despite strong alluvial dynamics in a semi-controlled field experiment

Claire Guenat, Pascal Turberg, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Andreas Cedric Schomburg, Muhammad Riaz

Soil structure formation is among the most important processes in riverfloodplains which are strongly influ-enced by alluvial dynamics. In the context of river restoration projects, a better understanding of soil structureformation in habitats adjacent to ...

Studying the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans using microfluidic chips

Martinus Gijs

C. elegans is an attractive model organism in biology, as it shows genetic similarity with humans, facilitates microscopic observation due to its transparency, and has a short life cycle. Moreover, many mutants expressing fluorescent proteins in particular ...

Drivers of soil carbon stabilization in oil palm plantations

Alexandre Buttler, Thomas Guillaume, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Juan Carlos Quezada Rivera, Johanna Katharina Rüegg

Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in agroecosystems is necessary to mitigate climate change and soil degradation. Management practices designed to reach this goal call for a deeper understanding of the processes and drivers of soil carbon input stabiliz ...

Interaction of compost additives with phosphate solubilizing rhizobacteria improved maize production and soil biochemical properties under dryland agriculture

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Muhammad Riaz, Muhammad Ashraf

Dry land soils from the Indo-Gangetic plains are inherently poor in organic matter content and phosphorus (P). Amendment of these soils with P-enriched compost, together with P solubilizing rhizobacterial (PSR) inoculation has been suggested to improve pla ...

The Zero Waste approach to resource management

A Zero Waste system is a resource management system. The process of wasting resources is against nature. In a zero waste system everything has a place before, during and after use. There is no away. In the best-designed system, the dismantling or demanufac ...

Nitrogen-enriched compost application combined with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improves seed quality and nutrient use efficiency of sunflower

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Muhammad Riaz

Ecological benefits associated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculants offer a promising integrated nutrient management option to counteract plant nitrogen (N) deficiency. We performed field experiments to evaluate the effect of integra ...
