INCREASING AGES OF INGA PUNCTATA TREE SOILS FACILITATE GREATER FUNGAL COMMUNITY ABUNDANCE AND SUCCESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND EFFICIENCY OF MICROBIAL ORGANIC CARBON UTILIZATION

Increasing Ages of Inga punctata Tree Soils Facilitate Greater Fungal Community Abundance and Successional Development, and Efficiency of Microbial Organic Carbon Utilization

Leguminous Inga trees are thought to enhance soil carbon (C) accumulation following reforestation, through mostly unknown mechanisms.This study amplified soil DNA using the ITS1F and ITS4 primers for PCR and Illumina MiSeq methods to identify fungal taxa, and traditional C analysis methods to evaluate how planted 4-, 8-, and 11-year-old Inga puncta

New coincidence between Shroud of Turin and Sudarium of Oviedo

The Sudarium of Oviedo and the Shroud of Turin Guarana are two relics attributed to Jesus Christ that show a series of amazing coincidences announced in the past.In this contribution, we describe the X-ray fluorescence analysis carried out on the Sudarium.Among the chemical elements detected, calcium shows a statistically significant higher presenc
