Summary: The study reveals that modern soybean varieties in Brazil have higher nutrient removal compared to historical values, especially in terms of N, P, K, and Mg removal. However, over a 10-year period, the impact of plant breeding on grain nutrient concentration was significant only for N and Mg. The differences in nutrient removal patterns between Brazil and other countries suggest an integrated effect of management, genotype, and environment on nutrient removal.

Summary: Seabirds, particularly yellow-legged gulls in the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park, have significant and lasting effects on soil properties and vegetation. This study found that nutrient concentrations in soil differ between control sites and subcolonies, with the densest subcolonies showing a clear shift towards ruderal vegetation. Environmental effects of seabird colonies are long-lasting, leading to irreversible transformations in soil and vegetation, even after the birds have disappeared.

Summary: NHAP amendment effectively reduces water-soluble fluoride levels and increases available phosphorus content in soil, potentially through the formation of insoluble CaF2 and ion exchange in NHAP. Additionally, NHAP amendment can decrease fluoride accumulation in wheat plants, indicating its potential as a promising remediation strategy for acidic soils contaminated with fluoride.

Summary: The aim of this research was to identify the Boundary-Line Approach (B-LA) macro-nutrient optimum concentrations related to maximum yield and sufficiency ranges for Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller variety Rojo Pelon. By analyzing four years' data of yield and macro-nutrient concentrations, the study found that the optimum concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, as well as sufficiency ranges, can be used as reference standards for maximizing yield per fructification cladode in this variety.

Summary: The study found that CaO2 can increase nitrogen cycling enzyme activity and microbial abundance in sediments, thereby promoting nitrogen removal. At the same time, CaO2 can also accelerate organic phosphorus hydrolysis and phosphorus immobilization, reduce nutrient concentration, and kill algae, contributing to the remediation of endogenous pollution in water systems.

Summary: The bioavailability of phosphorus is closely related to the microbial community in sediments, and plays a significant role in the release of sedimentary phosphorus. In a 62-day experiment, capping with modified calcium peroxide ceramsite (MCPC) at different dosages showed a decrease in disappeared phosphorus under MCPC capping, as well as a decrease in dissolved inorganic phosphorus and Fe(II) concentrations compared to the control. The microbial community structures showed an increase in Proteobacteria and Nitrospirae under MCPC capping, indicating a negative relationship between microbial diversity and bioavailable phosphorus under this condition.

Summary: This study explores the phenomenon of microbes increasing the production of redox-active antibiotics under phosphorus limitation, showing that these antibiotics solubilize phosphorus through reductive dissolution of iron oxides and enhance microbial growth under phosphorus-limited conditions. The research highlights the important role of antibiotics in phosphorus acquisition and cycling.

Summary: Sulfur, an essential nutrient for plant growth, has been increasingly used in fertiliser applications for many crops, coinciding with declines in atmospheric sulfur deposition. The increase in sulfur fertiliser has outpaced other major nutrient fertilisers, highlighting the need for improved sulfur management tools to optimize fertiliser applications and minimize environmental impacts.

Summary: Zinc is a crucial nutrient with a lack of understanding in its deficiency. Recent advances have shed light on its chemistry and molecular roles, but there is a lack of research on the molecular basis of zinc bioavailability. This review aims to merge the concepts of zinc molecular biology and bioavailability, focusing on the molecular determinants of zinc's availability, absorption, transport, and utilization.

Summary: The study showed that adding a customised supplement to the diet significantly improved the voluntary feed intake and nutrient metabolism in crossbred calves, as indicated by increased intake of dry matter and organic matter, higher digestibility coefficients, and improved nitrogen retention. Additionally, calcium and phosphorus retention rates were higher in the group receiving the supplement compared to the control group, demonstrating the positive impact of supplementation on nutrient utilization in calves.

Summary: The study aimed to isolate lactic acid bacteria strains from newborn calves for the development of a potential probiotic for calf nutrition. Among the strains isolated, CPN60 exhibited better resistance to adverse conditions in the gastrointestinal tract and superior co-aggregation and antagonistic activity against pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli. In vivo assessment in Wistar rats showed improved nutrient utilization efficiency, growth performance, fecal lactate concentration, short-chain fatty acids production, and cell-mediated immune response in the group supplemented with L. salivarius CPN60.

Summary: This study found that higher dietary selenium levels (291 and 460 ppb) significantly improved the antioxidant capacity, cytokine levels, haemato-biochemical profile, and immune response in rats under prolonged heat stress conditions, and also affected the expression of selenoprotein genes. Therefore, the dietary requirement of selenium may be increased to 460 ppb for rats under prolonged heat stress conditions.

Summary: The physical form of a therapeutic diet can improve feed intake and wellbeing in calves infected with foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). In this study, the effect of two physical forms of a therapeutic diet, mash form and cooked form, on the behavior of FMD-infected calves was tested. The results showed that the cooked form of the therapeutic diet significantly improved the ingestion time, resting time, sleeping time, and licking time compared to the mashed form.
