Significant advances in plant-available and replenishable macro- and micronutrients with soil health-oriented conservation farming: Novel insights from a multi-site on-farm evaluat... by Christoph Rosinger, Katharina Maria Keiblinger, Luca Giuliano Bernardini, Dietmar Horn, Gereon Heller, Herbert Eigner, Hans-Peter Kaul, Sabine Huber, Orracha Sae-Tun, Gernot Bodner

“…In particular, both fractions of Norg, P, S and K were strongly elevated through conservation farming; plant-available S contents in the conservation farming system were even higher than in adjacent field margins. Using multiple linear regression analyses, we could further show that microbial necromass is significantly positively linked to both plant-available and replenishable N, Norg, P and S contents, suggesting that this agriculturally manageable microbial fraction is highly important for nutrient availability and replenishment. …”

Effects of meglumine antimoniate and allopurinol treatment on the fecal microbiome profile in dogs with leishmaniosis by Joan Martí-Carreras, Marina Carrasco, Marc Noguera-Julian, Olga Francino, Rodolfo Oliveira Leal, Lluís Ferrer, Gaetano Oliva, Jenifer Molina, Xavier Roura

“…Minor trends in taxonomic shifts were noted, with slight increases in Bifidobacterium pseudocantenulatum, Collinsella tanakaei, and Slackia piriformis after treatment, but these changes were not statistically significant after correction for multiple testing. Linear discriminant analysis and multivariable modeling confirmed that the microbial community structure was resilient to treatment effects. …”
