Interaction effects of climate and land use/land cover change on soil organic carbon sequestration.

Historically, Florida soils stored the largest amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) among the conterminous U.S. states (2.

Antiviral treatment for Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial paralysis).

Background: Antiviral agents against herpes simplex virus are widely used in the treatment of idiopathic facial paralysis (Bell's palsy), but their effectiveness is uncertain. Significant morbidity can be associated with severe cases.

Spatial relationships between nitrogen status and pitch canker disease in slash pine planted adjacent to a poultry operation.

Pitch canker disease (Fusarium circinatum Nirenberg & O'Donnell) causes serious shoot dieback, reduced growth and mortality in pines found in the southern and western USA, and has been linked to nutrient imbalances. Poultry houses with forced-air ventilation systems produce nitrogen (N) emissions. This study analyzed spatial correlations between pitch canker disease and foliar, forest floor, soil, and throughfall N in a slash pine (Pinus elliottii var.
