How different soil moisture levels affect the microbial activity [PDF]
: The lowland soils are characterized by high susceptibility to water saturation. This anaerobic condition is usually reported in paddy fields and alters the decomposition process of soil organic compounds.

Soils of the Prinevskaya Lowland and Prospects for Their Use
The paper presents the results of soil research in the Prinevskaya lowland within the boundaries of St. Petersburg. The study of the direction and rate of change in the properties of fallow lands, aimed at understanding the process of post-agrogenic transformation of soils, as well as the development of a monitoring system for changes in the parameters

Soil microbial diversity patterns of a lowland spring environment [PDF]
The Po river plain lowland springs represent unique paradigms of managed environments. Their current locations used to be swamps that were drained 6-7 centuries ago, and they have been in constant use ever since. Our aims were to identify the effects of land use on the microbial communities of these soils, look for associated diversity drivers, and ...

Chloritization in lowland paddy soils [PDF]
Abstract This paper is concerned with the alteration of clay minerals which takes place when well-aerated lowland soils (Brown lowland soils) are cultivated for growing rice. For this purpose the clay mineral compositions of paddy soils were compared with those of adjacent arable soils at four locations. In the case of arable soils a larger part of the

Soil microbial nutrient constraints along a tropical forest elevation gradient: a belowground test of a biogeochemical paradigm [PDF]
Aboveground primary productivity is widely considered to be limited by phosphorus (P) availability in lowland tropical forests and by nitrogen (N) availability in montane tropical forests. However, the extent to which this paradigm applies to belowground

The performance of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars on iron toxic soil augmented with compost [PDF]
Performance of lowland rice grown on anaerobic wetland soil is greatly affected by iron toxicity disorder in Nigeria. Better nutrient management and cultivation of resistant varieties have been recommended as strategy to manage this nutrient disorder ...

Background Soil respiration contributes to a large quantity of carbon emissions in the forest ecosystem. In this study, the soil respiration rates at three Taiwanese forest plantations (two lowland and one mid-elevation) were investigated.
