These soils were compared with adjacent natural soils that had never been used for agriculture. There was a general decline of total organic carbon (TOC), extractable humic substances, water-soluble carbon (WSC) and carbohydrates, microbial biomass and respiration with the time elapsed since abandonment. There was also a decline in plant cover in the abandoned soils. When a degraded soil was amended with municipal solid waste at rates of 6.5 and 26 kg m 22 as a potential means of remediation, TOC, humic substances, WSC, microbial biomass and respiration rates signi®cantly increased but only at the higher rate of amendment. Plant cover was signi®cantly enhanced by both rates of the amendments and was still present 10 years after the amendment. These data con®rm that agricultural soil abandonment leads to soil degradation and that the addition of urban waste could be a suitable technique with which to restore their quality</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pena-Neira, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hernández, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GARCIA-VALLEJO, M C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cadahía, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Simon, B F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suarez, J A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Low molecular weight phenols in cork stoppers</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ENOLOGY AND VITICULTURE</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">phenolic compounds</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">stopper manufacturing</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER SOC ENOLOGY VITICULTURE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 1855, DAVIS, CA 95617-1855 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">50</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">285-290</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In this work, we study the low molecular-weight polyphenols in cork stoppers obtained from commercial wine bottles and in samples taken at five stages of the cork stopper manufacturing process. The phenolic compounds (acids, aldehydes, and coumarins) were analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography with photodiode array detector. The results were studied by statistical methods in order to determine the relationship among these compounds and their variability throughout the industrial processing. Discriminant analysis showed that the phenolic composition allows differentiation of each stage in the manufacture of cork stoppers and the different provenances of stoppers obtained from commercial wine bottles. The results showed wide variations in phenolic content among cork stoppers within each region and each winery.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pena-Neira, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BartolomÉ, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cadahía, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hernández, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garcia-Vallejo, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GONZALEZ-ADRADOS, J R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suarez-Lepe, J A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Low molecular-weight phenolic compounds in natural and agglomerated cork stoppers</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SCIENCES DES ALIMENTS</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">low molecular-weight phenolic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stopper</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">stopper treatment</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LAVOISIER ABONNEMENTS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11 RUE LAVOISIER, F-75384 PARIS 08, FRANCE</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">119-124</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The low molecular-weight phenolic compounds in cork stoppers used for the closure of wine bottles are studied. Different phenolic acids (gallic, protocatechuic, vanillic, caffeic, ferulic and ellagic), aldehydes (protocatechuic, p-hydroxybenzoic, vanillin, ethylvanillin and coniferilic), and coumarins (aesculetin and scopoletin) were determined in natural cork stoppers (untreated and chlorine-bleached) and in agglomerated cork stoppers (unbleached and peroxide-bleached). The ketone 2,3-dihydroxy-1-guaiacylpropan-1-one and four ellagic-acid-type tannins were detected in natural stoppers. The amount of most of the phenolic compounds studied was higher in the natural cork stoppers than in agglomerated stoppers. In natural cork stoppers, an Increase in the content of caffeic and ferulic acids and vanillin was observed after chlorine bleaching. In agglomerated stoppers however, peroxide bleaching produced a decrease in the content of these same compounds.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">García, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hernández, T</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological and biochemical indicators in derelict soils subject to erosion</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil Biology and Biochemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biochemical parameters (PG)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological indicators</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">derelict soils</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil degradation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1997</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">171-177</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">n 21 derelict soils from a semi-arid Spanish Mediterranean area, with a lithological sub- strate of Ioams, submitted to a high degree of erosion, several biological and biochemical properties in- dicative of the soil degradation leve1 were determined. The organic matter content of these soils was very low (mean value = 11.8 g kg-‘), approximately one-third of the average value for organic matter content of natura1 soils in the same zone. Biological properties such as basal respiration and biomass C also had low values and were positively correlated with the organic matter content. Low values for de- hydrogenajse and catalase activity were indicative of low biological activity of the degraded soils. A positive correlation was found between the hydrolases related with the N, P, C and S cycles (urease, proteases, fl-glucosidase and arylsulphatase), as wel1 as between these hydrolases and the organic matter content. Principal component analysis showed that ah the variables studied, except catalase and qCOr, had a similar behaviour. There was a negative correlation between many of the properties studied and electrical conductivity, which agreed with the higher degree of biological and biochemical degradation found in gypsiferous soils with a higher salt content. Arylsulphatase and p-glucosidase activity were the hydrolases most affected by soil erosion processes</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
