High-Resolution Taxonomic Assessment Using PacBio 16S rRNA Sequencing of Farm Animal Slurry, Broiler Waste and Anaerobically Digested Wastewater Treatment Sludge and Description of Soil Microbiota

The application of organic wastes as fertilisers is important for sustainable agriculture, provided that resulting changes in microbial communities do not disrupt nutrient cycling or soil fertility. To the authors’ knowledge, this study was the first to use PacBio 16S rRNA sequen...

Quantification of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in a managed grassland following nitrogen fertilisation: A comparative analysis of cumulative emissions determined by automated and manual chamber methods

Accurate quantification of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from grasslands remains challenging owing to their episodic, spatially heterogeneous and diurnally variable nature. This study compared automated chamber (AC) and manual chamber (MC) methods to evaluate the influence of c...
