Space farming based on local resource exploitation is a promising strategy for food production on extra-terrestrial habitats, as it can allow water recycling, organic waste composting, and oxygen production or CO2 consumption.
“Space farming based on local resource exploitation (Maggi and Pallud, 2010;Ramírez et al., 2019) is a promising strategy for food production (Ming and Henninger, 1989) on extra-terrestrial habitats, as it can allow water recycling, organic waste composting, and oxygen production or CO 2 consumption (Verseux et al., 2016;Llorente et al., 2018).”

The use of organic amendment and soil tillage can help mitigate the effects of microgravity on water leaching.
“The use of this amendment and soil tillage can also help mitigate the effects of microgravity on water leaching (Maggi and Pallud, 2010).”

Plants produce O2 and fix CO2, serve as food for space crews, have a role in water recycling, and are actively involved in soil structure formation.
“Plants produce O 2 and fix CO 2 , serve as food for space crews, have a role in water recycling (Maggi and Pallud, 2010;Llorente et al., 2018), and are actively involved in soil structure formation.”

Under Martian gravity, microbial metabolism was enhanced, decomposition of DOC was faster, and emissions of NO, N2O, N2, and CO2 were much higher.
“This enhanced the microbial metabolism, promoted faster decomposition of DOC, and much higher emission of NO, N 2 O, N 2 , and CO 2 .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
