Peat and other organic soils under agricultural use in Germany: Properties and challenges for classification

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2021
Under natural conditions, peatlands store large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, they are under threat due to drainage which leads to mineralisation of soil organic matter to carbon dioxide (CO2).

Evaluation of denitrification and decomposition from three biogeochemical models using laboratory measurements of N2, N2O and CO2 [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2021
Biogeochemical models are essential for the prediction and management of nitrogen (N) cycling in agroecosystems, but the accuracy of the denitrification and decomposition sub-modules is critical. Current models were developed before suitable soil N2 flux

High CO2 fluxes from grassland on histic Gleysol along soil carbon and drainage gradients [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2014
Drained organic soils are anthropogenic emission hotspots of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Most studies have focused on deep peat soils and on peats with high organic carbon content. In contrast, histic Gleysols are characterized by shallow peat layers, which

Deforestation for agriculture leads to soil warming and enhanced litter decomposition in subarctic soils [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2023
The climate-change-induced poleward shift of agriculture could lead to enforced deforestation of subarctic forest. Deforestation alters the microclimate and, thus, soil temperature, which is an important driver of decomposition.

Soil organic carbon stocks are systematically overestimated by misuse of the parameters bulk density and rock fragment content [PDF]

open access: yesSOIL, 2017
Estimation of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks requires estimates of the carbon content, bulk density, rock fragment content and depth of a respective soil layer.

Exploration of groundwater potential zones using analytical hierarchical process (AHP) approach in the Godavari river basin of Maharashtra in India

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2021
Total natural and groundwater resources play the most crucial role in developing ecological, biological and socioeconomic doings. Various parameters like land use, geology, elevation, slope, lineament, lineament density, drainage density and ...

Impact of adoption of climate smart agricultural practices to minimize production risk in Ethiopia: A systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2023
Climate change influences agriculture in sub Saharan Africa. The climate-smart agriculture approach is emerging as a new paradigm for adapting agriculture to the changing climate and mitigation. The main aim of this review was to assess the climate smart

Simulated wild boar bioturbation increases the stability of forest soil carbon [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2019
Most forest soils are characterised by a steep carbon gradient from the forest floor to the mineral soil, indicating that carbon is prevented from entry into the soil.

Effect of Incorporation Techniques and Soil Properties on NH3 and N2O Emissions after Urea Application

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Ammonia (NH3) emissions affect the environment, the climate, and human health and originate mainly from agricultural sources like urea fertilizers. Such losses from urea fertilizer can be avoided by different application techniques like incorporation ...

On the Potential of Sentinel-1 for High Resolution Monitoring of Water Table Dynamics in Grasslands on Organic Soils

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
For soils with shallow groundwater and high organic carbon content, water table depth (WTD) is a key parameter to describe their hydrologic state and to estimate greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
