Edaphic characteristics of Austrian pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) forests in the Višegrad area [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2016
This paper presents the results of soil research in Austrian pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) forest communities in the Višegrad area, carried out to determine the basic soil characteristics and eco-production potential of forest habitats as an important

Microbial characteristics, carbon and nitrogen content in cambisols and luvisols [PDF]

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2004
Tested soils (1991-2002) were defined by chemical, textural and microbial characteristics. From the tests which describe cambisols, the following parameters have to be stressed. The higher level of Corg (1.20-1.76%), which resulted in quite high microbial biomass carbon content (396-625 µg/g dry soil), high control respiration (0.45-0.80 mg CO2/h/100 g

Soil N:P ratio influences species coexistence via nitrogen‐form niche differentiation in alpine grasslands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant species coexistence in nutrient‐limited ecosystems is often maintained by niche differentiation in nitrogen (N) uptake. However, how this partitioning responds to changes in nutrient stoichiometry is still poorly understood.

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Intra‐annual transfer of hydrogen and oxygen isotopic signals from water and sugar precursors to tree rings: Processes and mechanisms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Intra‐annual radial growth of beech and spruce in 2021 and 2022. Summary The oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δ2H) isotope compositions of leaf and xylem water shape tree‐ring isotope baselines, while the fraction of sugars undergoing isotopic modification downstream of leaves (fO, fH) determines the dominant hydrologic signal.

Variability of topsoil hydraulic conductivity along the hillslope transects delineated in four areas strongly affected by soil erosion

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021
Soil hydraulic conductivities of topsoils were studied at 5 points of the hillslope transects delineated at 4 geomorphologically diverse areas, where the original soil types (Chernozem, Luvisol and two Cambisols) were due to erosion transformed into ...

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

In Situ Persistence and Migration of Biochar Carbon and Its Impact on Native Carbon Emission in Contrasting Soils under Managed Temperate Pastures.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is an important component of the global soil carbon (C) pool, but its fate, persistence, and loss dynamics in contrasting soils and environments under planted field conditions are poorly understood.

Impact of Acidification on Soil Organic Carbon and Plant Biomass Production During the Short-Term Pot Experiment

EQA, 2014
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of simulated acid load on soil organic carbon and plant biomass production. A short-term pot experiment with spring barley was conducted on 6 different soil types (Chernozem, Fluvisol, Eutric Cambisol,

Tracer Test as a Tool for Optimizing the Flow Patterns and Efficiency of a Full‐Scale Drainage Water Treatment Wetland

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Tracer testing assessed hydraulics and nitrate removal in three full‐scale agricultural drainage treatment wetlands over 3.5 years (three tests). The first test showed rapid, short‐circuited flow and low residence time. After modifying the collection system, the second test increased residence time from 1 to 7 days.
