Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  1. Massive methane emission from tree stems and pneumatophores in a subtropical mangrove wetland

    • Plant and Soil
    • Abstract Purpose Increasing evidence indicates that trees could emit methane (CH4) from soils into the atmosphere.

  2. Plant mediated methane efflux from a boreal peatland complex

    • Plant and Soil
    • Abstract


      Purpose

      Aerenchymous plants are an important control for methane efflux from peatlands to the atmosphere, providing a bypass from the anoxic peat and avoiding oxidation in the oxic peat. We aimed to quantify the drivers of aerenchymous peatland species methane transport and the importance of this process for ecosystem-scale methane efflux.

  3. Long-term maize-Desmodium intercropping shifts structure and composition of soil microbiome with stronger impact on fungal communities

    • Plant and Soil
    • Abstract

  4. Seasonal variation in soil CO 2 emission and leaf gas exchange of well‐managed commercial Citrus sinensis (L.) orchards

    • Plant and Soil
    • Abstract


      Purpose

      To investigate whether soil clay content, cultivar and seasonal variation have any effect on soil CO2 emission rates and leaf CO2 assimilation rates in a drip-irrigated commercial Citrus sinensis orchard.

  5. Nitrogen fertilization overweighs intercropping in promotion of dissolved organic carbon concentration and complexity in potato-cropped soil

    • Plant and Soil
    • Abstract


      Aims

      Intercropping promoted land productivity and be performed worldwide. This study aimed to assess the effect of intercropping on soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and its nitrogen (N) regulation.

  6. The endemic halophyte Sarcocornia carinata Fuente, Rufo & Sánchez-Mata (Chenopodiaceae) in relation to environmental variables: elemental composition and biominerals

    • Plant and Soil
    • Abstract


      Aims

      We propose a thorough study of the succulent halophyte Sarcocornia carinata endemic to the saline lagoons of the center of the Iberian Peninsula. We describe its elemental composition and possible seasonal variation in relation to edaphic and climatic variables, identify biominerals and analyze the distribution of salt ions and biominerals in tissue.

  7. Exotic grass litter modulates seasonal pulse dynamics of CO 2 and N 2 O, but not NO, in Mediterranean-type coastal sage scrub at the wildland-urban interface

    • Plant and Soil
    • Abstract


      Aims

      Mediterranean shrublands adjacent to urbanization experience nitrogen deposition and exotic grass invasions which likely have downstream consequences for carbon and nitrogen emissions from soils. We tested a hypothesis that soil wetting produces trace gas pulses modified by seasonal wetting history, grass litter availability, and cover type in these systems.
