Magnesian alkalinity of trenching soils of Prichernomorskaya lowland

Fundamental and Applied Soil Science, 2014
The data of scientists about spreading, genesis, composition and properties of low natrium soils with high content of magnesium in soil sorption complex, and its influence on plants have been considered. The aim was to determine the absorbed ability of soils and the level of saturation by bases; to determine the dependence of density of foundation ...

Plant adaptive strategies respond to environmental change across European grassland habitats

Ecography, EarlyView.
Grassland ecosystems are facing rapid and ongoing change driven by intensified land‐use and accelerated climate change, highlighting the urgent need to understand their potential adaptation and response to environmental change. We analyzed data from 52 980 vegetation plots spanning all major grassland habitats in Europe (including alpine, rocky, sandy,

Lowland-ecotype switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) with moderate nitrogen enhances long-term productivity and ecosystem multifunctionality in acidic soils: A six-year field experiment

Industrial Crops and Products
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a promising bioenergy crop owing to high biomass production and ecological adaptability, but long-term evaluations of different ecotypes and nitrogen (N) rates on productivity and soil ecosystem functions are limited.

Simulating past and future refugia for temperate trees in northern Italy

Ecography, EarlyView.
During the Quaternary, trees responded to the climatic changes of glacial–interglacial cycles with large‐scale range shifts. Over cold glacials, temperate tree species contracted their ranges and survived in areas known as refugia. Several studies point to the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei), in Veneto, northern Italy, as one of the northernmost ...

Baseline values of Cadmium and Zinc in three land uses in a selected mapping unit of the dry zone of Sri Lanka

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2015
Anthropogenic activities change the natural concentrations of soil trace metals in different land uses with varying magnitudes. Establishment of baseline concentration of metals is important in assessing human impact on metal concentrations in soils over

Pleistocene soils of the Azov Lowland, Ukraine

Journal of Geology, Geography and Geoecology, 2019
With the aim to reconstruct the Pleistocene soils in Azov Lowland (geological sections near the villages of Bezimenne and Melekinе Donetsk region), we carried out palaeopedological research. The Paleopedological method was used, which consisted with a detailed analysis of the morphological (color, structure, granulometric composition, humidity ...

Modeling soil salinization at the downstream of a lowland reservoir [PDF]

Hydrology Research, 2019
AbstractSoil salinization is a crucial issue in arid and semi-arid regions, especially for reservoir-based irrigation systems. In this study, the HYDRUS-1D model was used to investigate soil salinity resulting from seepage from a lowland reservoir in Xinjiang province, China.

Inverse sky islands: lowland river valleys drive microbial divergence while high elevations select for convergence in massive mountain ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mountain ecosystems are often interpreted through the lens of the ‘sky island' model, where high‐elevation habitats function as isolated archipelagos. However, this model's applicability to massive, topographically complex mountain ranges where highlands are continuous and lowlands are fragmented remains untested.

Correlation between Soil Test Phosphorus of Kaolinitic and Smectitic Soils with Phosphorus Uptake of Lowland Rice

Journal of Tropical Soils, 2009
Correlation between soil test phosphorus (P) and plant-available P parameters were affected by soil properties, such as soil pH, particle-size composition, and mineralogy.

Farming systems and soil fertility management practices in smallholdings on the southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Frontiers in Agronomy
In the northern part of Tanzania, the slopes of Mount (Mt.) Kilimanjaro are the most important areas, both in terms of socio-economic development and ecological succession. The main agricultural systems in the area are banana-based (in the highlands) and
