Measuring basal soil respiration across Europe: Do incubation temperature and i...
Creamer, R.E.; Schulte, R.P.O.; Stone, D.; Gal, A.; Krogh, P.H.; Lo Papa, G.; Murray, P.J.; Pérès, G.; Foerster, B.; Rutgers, M.; Sousa, J.P.The European Commission recognises the essential role of soil biology in soil functioning and delivery of ecosystem services, but information is currently lacking evaluate of how these vary across soil and land-use types at a European scale. This study evaluated the measurement of the initial rate of soil basal respiration (BR) as a potential biological indicator of ecosystem service provision. The purpose of t...
Toxicity of phenmedipham and carbendazim to Enchytraeus crypticus and Eisenia a...
Chelinho, Sonia; Domene, Xavier; Campana, Paolo; Andrés, Pilar; Römbke, Jörg; Sousa, J. P.Purpose The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the toxicity of two reference chemicals, Carbendazim and Phenmedipham, for the compostworm Eisenia andrei (effects of Carbendazim) and the potworm Enchytraeus crypticus (effects of Phenmedipham) in 12 Mediterranean soils with contrasting soil properties. The observed toxicity was also compared to that obtained for OECD standard soil, used as a cont...
Effects of azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, and ethoprophos on the reproduction of...
Leitão, Sara; Cerejeira, M. José; Van den Brink, Paul J.; Sousa, J. P.The potential terrestrial toxicity of three pesticides, azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, and ethoprophos was evaluated using reproduction ecotoxicological tests with different non-target species: the collembolan Folsomia candida, the earthworm Eisenia andrei, and the enchytraeid Enchytraeus crypticus. All reproduction tests were performed with natural soil from a Mediterranean agricultural area (with no pesticide ...
Ethoprophos fate on soil–water interface and effects on non-target terrestrial ...
Leitão, Sara; Moreira-Santos, Matilde; Van den Brink, Paul J.; Ribeiro, R.; Cerejeira, M. José; Sousa, J. P.The present study aimed to assess the environmental fate of the insecticide and nematicide ethoprophos in the soil–water interface following the pesticide application in simulated maize and potato crops under Mediterranean agricultural conditions, particularly of irrigation. Focus was given to the soil–water transfer pathways (leaching and runoff), to the pesticide transport in soil between pesticide applicatio...
Influence of seasons and land-use practices on soil microbial activity and meta...
Costa, Dalila; Freitas, H.; Sousa, J. P.The “Montado ecosystem” is important both economically and ecologically; this ecosystem is dominated by cork and holm oak trees (Quercus suber L. and Quercus rotundifolia Lam. respectively) combined with a rotation of crops/fallow/pastures. Diverse management strategies, deviating from the sustainable use of the ecosystem, have been implemented, from which arise some extreme situations of over-use or abandonmen...
Effects of shoulder compensatory strength training program in rotator cuff stre...
Batalha, N.; Raimundo, A.; Tomas-Carus, P.; Fernandes, O.; Sousa, J.P.; Costa, A.M.; Silva, A.J.INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate de effects of 16 week compensatory strength training program in shoulder strength and respective conventional ratios (concentric ER/IR). METHODS A total of 40 national level male swimmers were assessed and randomly divided in two groups – experimental group (N=20)-(age:14.65±0.67 years old, height:173.48±6.87 cm, body mass:63.15±5.68 kg) and control group (...
Glutamate-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor modulation and minocycline for the trea...
Chaves,C.; Marque,C.R.; Trzesniak,C.; Machado de Sousa,J.P.; Zuardi,A.W.; Crippa,J.A.S.; Dursun,S.M.; Hallak,J.E.Growing consistent evidence indicates that hypofunction of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) transmission plays a pivotal role in the neuropathophysiology of schizophrenia. Hence, drugs which modulate NMDA neurotransmission are promising approaches to the treatment of schizophrenia. The aim of this article is to review clinical trials with novel compounds acting on the NMDA receptor (NMDA-R). This review also include...
Biological testing of a digested sewage sludge and derived composts
Moreira, R.; Sousa, J.P.; Canhoto, C.Aiming to evaluate a possible loss of soil habitat function after amendment with organic wastes, a digested sewage sludge and derived composts produced with green residues, where biologically tested in the laboratory using soil animals (Eisenia andrei and Folsomia candida) and plants (Brassica rapa and Avena sativa). Each waste was tested mimicking a field application of 6 ton/ha or 12 ton/ha. Avoidance tests d...
Spatial and temporal distribution of litter arthropods in different vegetation ...
Antunes, S. C.; Pereira, R.; Sousa, J. P.; Santos, M. C.; Gonçalves, F.The main objective of this study is to assess the soil diversity and temporal and spatial distribution of litter macro-arthropods, captured with pitfall traps, on different vegetation covers from Porto Santo Island (Portugal) with different soil physical and chemical characteristics. The PCA clearly separated sampling areas geographically more exposed to winds and solar radiation, from the others that were not....
Evaluating a bioremediation tool for atrazine contaminated soils in open soil m...
Lima, D.; Viana, P.; André, S.; Chelinho, S.; Costa, C.; Ribeiro, R.; Sousa, J. P.; Fialho, A. M.; Viegas, C. A.A previously developed potential cleanup tool for atrazine contaminated soils was evaluated in larger open soil microcosms for optimization under more realistic conditions, using a natural crop soil spiked with an atrazine commercial formulation (Atrazerba FL). The doses used were 20£ or 200£ higher than the recommended dose (RD) for an agricultural application, mimicking over-use or spill situations. Pseudomon...
