Therefore, application rate of 30 t ha-1 biochar is considered as suitable for severely degraded soil because this application rate efficiently improves cocoyam yield and soil properties and reduces soil loss.

We have also found that not all dyes are equally sensitive to the D/H ratios in the culture medium (system) as well as to the different cell types (cancer vs normal cells). Copyright © 2020 I. A. Zlatskiy et al.Eddy Correlation (EC) is a technique that can be used to measure transport of substances in aquatic ecosystems between bottom sediments and the overlying water (i.e. benthic fluxes). Based on high-speed, simultaneous, and co-located velocity and concentration measurements, EC has been successfully used in a variety of freshwater and marine settings to determine benthic fluxes of dissolved oxygen. Application to a larger range of compounds is limited, however, by the lack of suitable chemical sensors. Here, we describe FACT, a novel, high-speed, multi-function sensor created to expand the range of benthic fluxes that can be measured with EC. An optical fiber spectrofluorometer with a proximally located conductivity cell and thermistor, FACT enables benthic flux measurements of fluorescing compounds, such as fluorescent dissolved organic matter, as well as of heat and salinity which can be used as tracers for submarine groundwater discharge.
