Design and evaluation of a miniaturized bioregenerative microecosystem for CubeSat missions
No full textBioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS) are a key emerging technology to enable long term space
exploration. However, small-scale implementations are difficult to realize and their behavior under space
conditions remains scarcely investigated. This study aims at developing and evaluating the smallest selfsustaining,
controlled microecosystem suitable for deployment as a CubeSat payload. The system integrates
a closed habitat hosting autotrophic (mosses) and heterotrophic (soil micro-arthropods) organisms, along
with electronics for environmental monitoring and control. The microecosystem was tested over a 120-day
isolation period under laboratory conditions. Tests and simulations of space conditions were also performed.
Experimental results demonstrate survival and stability of the biological components during the four-month
period, along with successful activation and maintenance of CO2 cycling via artificial stimuli. CO2 levels
decreased from 20000 ppm to 5000 ppm through fixation in plant tissue. Oscillations of 500 ppm were
observed with periods of 20, 9, 7 and 1 days. Simulated responses to satellite launch indicated no structural
failure, with the maximum stress not exceeding the ultimate strength. Results suggest that small-scale biological
modules are optimal candidates for experiments aboard CubeSat-class satellites. Insights from this study may
support the development of space BLSSs and inform ecological responses to environmental stressors

No full textLack of complementary or synergistic benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and organic amendments but functional differentiation among AMF species in a maize–wheat rotation
No full text: Organic amendments (OAs) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are promising tools for improving soil fertility and crop productivity in nutrient-poor soils. While AMF, biochar, and compost have shown complementary or synergistic effects under controlled conditions, their field-scale interactions remain poorly understood. In a two-year maize-wheat rotation, we applied OAs (biochar or compost) and AMF inocula (three isolates each of Funneliformis mosseae, FmMix, and Archaeospora trappei, ArMix) alone or combined with OAs. We tested whether AM inoculation enhances maize productivity and soil fertility, shows complementarities or synergisms with compost and/or biochar, whether effects persist in wheat, and if plant and soil responses differ by AM fungal species. Maize yield increased with AMF and OA, but the combined application did not yield a significant increase over the effect of each factor operating independently. A similar pattern was found for grain nutrients and soil (bio)chemical parameters, except for a complementary effect of FmMix with compost+biochar on maize P uptake. AMF applied with compost and biochar synergistically promoted fungal biomass, and the effect persisted in wheat with ArMix. Although yield did not differ between AM species, interspecies functional variability was observed in grain nutrients and soil enzymes. FmMix enhanced maize P and wheat K, Mg, and Fe, while ArMix increased maize Cu and Ca, and wheat P, Zn, and Cu. Our findings emphasize that the effectiveness of AMF and OAs is influenced by OA properties, soil conditions, crop and AM species. Although functional interspecies variability was observed, the comparable or superior agronomic benefits of A. trappei indicates that lesser-known AM taxa hold promise as efficient inoculants
