Comparative Effectiveness of Different Mulch Types and Application Rates for Reducing Runoff and Sediment Yield on Forest Skid Trails

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rehabilitation of skid trails following timber harvesting is critical for preserving forest soil integrity, particularly within ecologically sensitive ecosystems such as the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although mulching is widely recommended for erosion control, field evidence comparing different locally ...

Deep Straw Incorporation With Supplemental Fertilization Improves Subsoil Quality and Maize Productivity

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep straw incorporation is widely advocated for enhancing crop yields and improving agroecosystem functions and services. However, how this practice interacts with different fertilization strategies synergistically to influence soil quality and maize productivity remains unclear.

Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 13525 containing an artificial oxalate operon and Vitreoscilla hemoglobin secretes oxalic acid and solubilizes rock phosphate in acidic alfisols.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Oxalate secretion was achieved in Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 13525 by incorporation of genes encoding Aspergillus niger oxaloacetate acetyl hydrolase (oah), Fomitopsis plaustris oxalate transporter (FpOAR) and Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (vgb) in various ...

Nitrogen Enrichment Enhances Soil Multifunctionality Through Distinct Drivers Across Urban, Suburban, and Rural Forests

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10009-10021, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The accelerating pace of urban expansion has profoundly reshaped urban–rural ecosystems, altering soil environments and impairing key ecological services. However, the combined impacts of urban expansion and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on soil multifunctionality—the capacity to sustain multiple ecological processes—remain poorly ...

Variabilidad de δ13C y δ15N en suelo y hojarasca de cacao en El Oro, Ecuador

open access: yesTerra Latinoamericana, 2019
El cacao aporta niveles significativos de carbono (C) y nitrógeno(N) por las hojarascas; el cambio de manejo agronómico ocasiona variación en los contenidos de estos elementos en el suelo. El objetivo fue evaluar las variaciones de los isotopos de δ13C y

Evaluation of phosphorus availability indices in acid Alfisols

open access: yesAnnals of Plant and Soil Research, 2021
To identify the most appropriate method of available phosphorus extraction from acid Alfisols of north east India, greenhouse pot experiments were conducted with two acid Alfisols (non-limed and limed), amended with six doses of P fertilization. Maize (Zea mays), as the test crop, was grown for 45 days, and the plant response was regressed against soil

Revitalizing Traditional Tank Systems: Case Study Insights From Sri Lanka's Village Tank Cascade Systems for Climate Resilience and Water Governance

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Village tank cascade systems (VTCS) are a long‐established form of water management in Sri Lanka's dry zone. However, their role in groundwater recharge, climate adaptation, and water governance remains insufficiently recognized in policy and planning.

Exclusion of plant input affects the temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
Plant residue input plays a vital role in cropland carbon (C) balance, which can be greatly affected by climate change. Our knowledge of the effect of plant residue on soil respiration is crucial for evaluating C exchange between the atmosphere and ...

Nitrogen fertilization promotes wheat–weed coexistence through niche differentiation and fitness equalization

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2436-2448, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen fertilization is commonly applied to increase crop yields in agroecosystems. Beyond its direct benefits, nitrogen fertilization may also influence crop production indirectly by altering crop–weed competition.
