Abstract BACKGROUND Legumes are the primary source of plant protein in both human and livestock diets and, therefore, play an essential role in nutrition. Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is a grain legume widely used in animal feed. Its nutritional properties, particularly its high protein content, make it an adequate component to enrich feedstuffs ...

Five decades of hand‐feel soil texture estimation: Accuracy, challenges, and improvements
Abstract Soil texture refers to the proportion of fine soil particles with diameters less than 2 mm, classified into particle size categories that define the soil texture class. Hand‐feel estimation in the field is widely used by soil scientists and technicians during pedological surveys to characterize soil horizons.

Gully erosion in India: Geo‐environmental controls and region‐specific characteristics
Spatial statistical analyses using a novel spatial database of India‧s gully erosion landforms revealed that India has six major gullying‐affected regions, three of which (EU, DU, and KCH) are dominated by gully systems (gully networks), with badlands (vast intensely gullied landscapes) being predominant in the other three regions (YB, GP, and RU ...

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

Distinguishing Soil Horizons of Alfisols Using MIR, Vis–NIR, and XRF Spectra
ABSTRACT We studied horizonation of 150 Alfisols on a research farm in Wisconsin, USA. Most of these Alfisols had developed in loess covering dense glacial till; common horizons were an Ap over a glossic horizon (E/Bt or Bt/E) over a Bt covering the glacial till (2Bt). In addition to field identification, we distinguished the horizons by combining soil
