The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Organic Matter Quality and Microbial Activity in Soils Managed With Brachiaria Succession
ABSTRACT Background Although succession systems and brachiaria improve soil quality, gaps remain in microbial community dynamics, activity, and soil organic matter stocks. Methods The objective was to evaluate the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks of soil organic matter fractions and their distribution, molecular characterization, enzyme activity ...

AN APPLICATION OF THE PHOSPHORUS CONSISTENT RULE FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE COST-EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF BROILER LITTER IN CROP PRODUCTION [PDF]
We calculated the profitability of using broiler litter as a source of plant nutrients using the phosphorus consistent litter application rule. The cost saving by using litter is 37% over the use of chemical fertilizer alone to meet the nutrient needs of

Topography shapes ecosystem controls, driving microclimate, hydrology, and vegetation, which, in turn, influence topsoil traits and DOM composition in coastal dune soils. Distinct molecular patterns emerge across north‐facing and south‐facing slopes and dune valleys.

ABSTRACT Background On ca. 10% of the forested sites in the Bavarian Alps (Germany) mountain, forest soils (so‐called folic histosols) are characterized by thick organic layers overlying poorly weathered calcareous parent material. Aim These organic layers play a critical role in releasing water and nutrients for vegetation, yet they are also sensitive
