Moss-dominated biocrust-based biodiversity enhances carbon sequestration via water interception and plant-soil-microbe interactions

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: We investigated a nature-based solution (NbS) via incorporating biocrust into alfalfa-maize intercropping system to test carbon sequestration in seriously eroded agricultural soils.

Soil acidification and salinity: the importance of biochar application to agricultural soils

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Soil acidity is a serious problem in agricultural lands as it directly affects the soil, crop production, and human health. Soil acidification in agricultural lands occurs due to the release of protons (H+) from the transforming reactions of various ...

The fertilising potential of manure-based biogas fermentation residues: pelleted vs. liquid digestate

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
Spreading of manure on agricultural soils is a main source of ammonia emissions and/or nitrate leaching. It has been addressed by the European Union with the Directives 2001/81/EC and 91/676/EEC to protect the environment and the human health.

Interactive effect of land use systems on depth-wise soil properties and micronutrients minerals in North-Western, India

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Micronutrients play a vital role in improving growth and performance of different crops. Management of soil micronutrients for better crop production needs sound understanding of their status and causes of variability. Therefore, in order to evaluate the

Prospects and constraints in smallholder farmers' adoption of multiple soil carbon enhancing practices in Western Kenya

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
Most smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are adversely affected by low soil fertility, land degradation and climate change-related shocks such as drought. These problems lead to low productivity and low household income.
