Soil characteristic and properties are essential determinants for effective land management. Soil genesis results from the interaction of various pedogenic factors, which are influenced by environmental conditions, thereby producing diverse soil types in

Effects of biochar-based compound fertilizer (BCF)-urea on growth, yield, N-uptake and protein content of corn (Zea mays L.) in Madura Alfisol [PDF]
The low Nitrogen (N) and organic Carbon (C-organic) content typical of Alfisol in Madura presents a significant agricultural challenge. To address this, a study was conducted into the effects of Biochar-Based Compound Fertilizer (BCF)-Urea on the growth,

Microscopic observations of the recent soils: a step for understanding the paleosols [PDF]
The microscopic observations of the recent soil horizons were conducted in Okayama, Japan (moderate climate). The several soil horizons, including two surface (epipedon) and three subsurface horizons, were recognized in the forest, poorly vegetated hill,

ABSTRACT Transpiration restriction under high vapour pressure deficit (VPD), measured indoors with individual plants, increases water use efficiency (WUE). However, VPD is not the only factor driving transpiration, individual plants in a field rapidly become a canopy, and reports on the transpiration restriction versus WUE are scant.

Kinetic study of phosphorus desorption by Alfisols and Entisols
Abstract The kinetics of phosphorus (P) desorption by six Greek soils, four Alfisols and two Entisols, have been studied. By the addition of several amounts of P fertilizers at different water/soil rations and different contact times, that amount of P fertilizer required for the two major categories for Greek soils in order to avoid enviromental ...

ABSTRACT Background Previous research has underscored the importance of evaluating soil consistency for accurate determination of cohesive character and mechanical properties. Although qualitative assessments by pedologists are pertinent, they exhibit inherent subjectivity that may compromise accuracy.

Spatial variability of an Alfisol cultivated with sugarcane [PDF]
La variabilidad del suelo ocurre debido a factores que actuan en varias escalas espaciales y temporales, naturales o antropicas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la variabilidad espacial y la relacion de algunos atributos quimicos, mediante diferentes tecnicas estadisticas. El trabajo fue realizado en el municipio de Maracanau (CE, Brasil),

Moderate‐severity disturbances often leave legacy effects on surviving trees. We conceptualized the legacy effect as a shift in ecological memory (quantified by sensitivity, length, and temporal pattern) and quantified the legacy effect of drought and intentional fire on tree growth.

Tropical dry forests face increasing pressure from agricultural expansion, but how this expansion impacts on remaining forests is unclear. We quantified and mapped agricultural edge effects on tree cover, shrub cover, and above‐ground biomass in the Argentine Chaco, a global deforestation hotspot.
