Phosphorus (P) availability in calcareous forest soils is commonly low compared to siliceous soils. The main reason for this is that phosphate ions te......
Soil Vis-NIR spectral response had been widely proposed as an alternative to costly and time-consuming laboratory determination of soil physical and c......
Understanding farmer local knowledge of soil management practices and their fertility is vital to maintaining soil fertility in agricultural areas, wh......
Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) can be an alternative data source for spatializing crop models over large areas. The objective of the paper was to evaluate......
Water and nutrient holding capacities are primarily controlled by the secondary soil parameters of water retention characteristics and cation exchange......
Climate change in Arctic landscapes may increase freeze-thaw frequency within the active layer as well as newly thawed permafrost. Freeze-thaw is a hi......
Soil degradation on cultivated lands of Sub-Saharan Africa is a threat to food security. Even so, drivers of soil C total and labile pools are little ......
Opencast mining destroys soils that have formed over many thousands of years. Their place is taken by post mining areas such as external and internal ......
Soil nematodes are key components of soil food web and, through their metabolic activities, play a crucial role in soil carbon (C) cycling. Abovegroun......
Remote sensing indices have been proposed to characterize soil salinity. However, the sensitivity of these indicators is unstable owing to differences......
Many organically managed farms in Europe have low levels of soil phosphorus (P). Arable farms that rely strongly on biological nitrogen fixation (BNF)......
Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation influences soil nutrient cycling and the functioning of soil microorganisms. However, the effects of AWD......
Soil respiration (R-s), which consists of heterotrophic respiration (R-h) by soil decomposers and autotrophic respiration (R-a) by roots, plays a crit......
Texturally bipartite and stagno-gleyed Planosols are becoming more commonly reported from the temperate climate zone. Although ferrolysis is widely ac......
Determination of soil organic carbon stocks in peat soils is of major importance for prioritization and evaluation of mitigation measures. This requir......
