Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries
Cologna, Viktoria; Mede, Niels G.; Berger, Sebastian; Besley, John; Brick, Cameron; Joubert, Marina; Maibach, Edward W.; Mihelj, Sabina; Oreskes, NaomiScience is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of the best available evidence, especially during crises. However, in recent years the epistemic authority of science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public trust in scientists. We interrogated these concerns with a preregistered 68-country survey of 71,922 respondents and ...
Biochar Enhances Nitrous Oxide Reduction in Acidic but Not in Near-Neutral pH Soil
Pereira, Engil Isadora Pujol; Lechat, Jerome; Conz, Rafaela Feola; Cardoso, Abmael da Silva [UNESP]; Six, JohanMade available in DSpace on 2020-12-10T17:04:29Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-12-01; Plant Fellows Program (FP7 Marie Curie Actions); We quantified nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes and total denitrification (N2O + N-2) in an acidic (Ferralsol) and a near-neutral pH soil (Cambisol) to determine whether biochar's alkalinization effect could be the mechanism inducing potential reductions in N2O ...

Funk, Roger; Pascual, Unai; Joosten, Hans; Duffy, Christopher; Pan, Genxing; la Scala, Newton [UNESP]; Gottschalk, Pia; Banwart, Steven A.Made available in DSpace on 2015-10-21T21:19:06Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-01-01; This chapter addresses the mismatch between existing knowledge, techniques and management methods for improved soil carbon management and deficits in its implementation. The paper gives a short overview of the evolution of the concept of soil carbon, which illustrates the interactions between scientific...
