Abies alba Mill. is a prominent European tree species predominantly inhabiting cool and humid montane environments. However, paleoecological evidence reveals that during the Eemian and mid-Holocene, A.

The long-term effects of bariatric surgery (BS) and conservative weight therapy (CWT) in patients living with HIV (PLWH) remain unexplored.
Methods: A retrospective review (2012-2018) at a Tertiary Centre for Bariatric Surgery and National Centre for HIV care examined the outcomes of BS and CWT.
Negative plant-soil feedback (PSF) arises when localized accumulations of pathogens reduce the growth of conspecifics, whereas positive PSF can occur due to the emergence of mutualists. Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced by the pyrolysis of organic matter, has been shown to modulate soil microbial communities by altering their abundance, diversity, and activity. For this reason, to assess the long-term impact of biochar on soil microbiome dynamics and subsequent plant performance, we conducted a PSF greenhouse experiment using field soil conditioned over 10 years with (L.

- The study investigates the causes of negative plant-soil feedback (PSF) in Arabidopsis thaliana by examining several factors, including nutrient deficiency, litter autotoxicity, and the impact of plant-released self-DNA during litter decay.
- The experiment involved a conditioning stage followed by treatments like washing, sterilization, and activated carbon addition to assess their effects on soil properties and microbiota.
- Results indicated that washing and sterilization reduced negative PSF effects, and increased self-DNA in the soil correlated with decreased plant biomass, suggesting a complex interaction where self-DNA may weaken plants' roots and increase susceptibility to soilborne pathogens.
