Role of Azolla in sustainable agriculture and climate resilience: a comprehensive review

mycolabadmin

Azolla is a fast-growing water fern that can help farms become more sustainable by naturally fertilizing soil with nitrogen, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. It also helps control weeds, conserve water, and provides nutritious feed for livestock and fish. Beyond agriculture, Azolla can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and clean polluted water, making it valuable for both farming and environmental protection.

Methods Using Marine Aquatic Photoautotrophs along the Qatari Coastline to Remediate Oil and Gas Industrial Water

mycolabadmin

This review examines how marine plants and algae along Qatar’s coast can help clean up pollution from oil and gas industries. Plants like mangroves, seagrasses, and seaweeds work together with beneficial bacteria to remove heavy metals and break down petroleum pollutants in seawater. Using these natural organisms as biological filters could be an effective and sustainable way to protect coastal marine environments while being economically beneficial through biotechnology applications.

Towards understanding the impact of mycorrhizal fungal environments on the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems

mycolabadmin

Mycorrhizal fungi form partnerships with plant roots and profoundly influence soil health and carbon storage. Different types of these fungi (arbuscular, ectomycorrhizal, and ericoid) work differently and create distinct soil environments with varying impacts on nutrient availability and carbon cycling. Researchers have now developed a unified framework and an experimental system to better understand and measure these effects, which could improve our ability to manage soils and predict ecosystem responses to environmental changes.

Advancements in biopile-based sustainable soil remediation: a decade of improvements, integrating bioremediation technologies and AI-based innovative tools

mycolabadmin

This review examines how biopile technology, which uses naturally occurring microorganisms to break down soil pollutants, has improved over the past decade. By optimizing conditions like moisture, temperature, and oxygen levels, and combining biopiles with sustainable materials like biochar and biosurfactants, scientists can effectively remove contaminants from soil while supporting carbon storage and ecosystem recovery. The approach offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional chemical remediation methods.

Microbes as Teachers: Rethinking Knowledge in the Anthropocene

mycolabadmin

Microbes have been the architects of life on Earth for nearly 4 billion years, managing oxygen production, nutrient cycles, and climate stability—yet we rarely recognize their wisdom. This paper argues we should treat microbes as teachers rather than mere subjects of study or exploitation. By reforming education, policy, and how we think about our relationship with microbial life, we can solve modern challenges like climate change and disease while learning to coexist with the microscopic majority that sustains all life.

Microbes as Teachers: Rethinking Knowledge in the Anthropocene

mycolabadmin

This paper argues that microbes should be viewed as teachers offering crucial wisdom about how to solve today’s environmental crises. Rather than seeing microbes as passive subjects to be studied, the author proposes recognizing them as intelligent, collaborative partners that have successfully managed Earth’s systems for billions of years. The paper provides practical suggestions for changing education, policy, and how we design cities and agriculture to work with microbial processes rather than against them.
