Soil compaction in a Cambisol under grassland in Estonia [PDF]

Zemdirbyste-Agriculture, 2013
In soil compaction research, more attention has been given to arable land than to grasslands. Our objective was to investigate the effect of agricultural machinery on the physical and mechanical properties of soil under intensively cut lucerne (Medicago sativa L.).

Surface podzolization in Cambisols under deciduous forest in the Belgian loess belt

, 2000
Surface podzolization involves the migration of metal-humus complexes to a depth of a few centimetres. In acid soils derived from loess, this process has been diagnosed mainly by morphological observation.

Changes in Molecular Structure of Humic Substances in Cambisols under Agricultural Use

, 2023
Soil organic matter stability and transformation affected by agriculture is a global problem of great concern. This study aimed to reveal structural changes in humic molecules under conventional soil tillage in Cambisols of the Transbaikal area.

Independent leaf and root responses to autumn freezing in perennial herbs: Insights from cutting and transplant manipulations

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
In this study, we compared two sampling approaches to assess autumn freezing resistance. Our goal was to determine whether the commonly employed cutting method, which disrupts root‐tissue connectivity, provides a valid measure of true freezing resistance.

Field Studies on the Influence of High‐Voltage Direct Transmission Underground Cables on Soils Along the SuedLink Route in Southwest Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention

Clay Fraction Mineralogy and Structural Soil Attributes of Two Soil Classes under the Semi-Arid Climate of Brazil

Land, 2022
Mineralogical studies are incipient and necessary in the Apodi Plateau, Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the interrelationship between the mineralogy of the clay fraction and its structural and chemical attributes and to differentiate two important ...

Effects of Biochar and Maize Roots on CO2 Emissions and Microbial Biomass C in Loess Soils

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Refractory substances such as biochar and labile substances such as dead fine and coarse roots play important roles in soil organic matter dynamics and have key ecological functions. However, interactions between these substances have only rarely been studied.

Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

A Field Guide for Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Olive Orchards Across Mediterranean Conditions for End‐Users and Stakeholders

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion control poses a crucial challenge to the sustainability of Mediterranean olive groves. To facilitate field‐level decision‐making, we have developed a field guide oriented to use in any type of olive orchard across the Mediterranean.
