To date, many rhizosphere microbiome studies and growth chambers systems focus on the impact of plant developmental stage, genotype and soil type on microbial composition and function . On the other hand, predation as a driver in the rhizosphere microbiome remains understudied. For instance, protists are abundant in the soil and are active consumers of …

Removal of riparian vegetation to control PD is being hotly debated in California

Routine inspection and cleaning of the area in front of a filter sock is important
When the pores become clogged with particulates, the pressure required to force the water through the substrate increases, therefore treated water volume is reduced unless pressure is increased. These systems must be back-flushed to remove collected particulates and maintain the effectiveness of the filter . Smaller particle size filter media clog more easily and require more …
