Amending biochar affected enzyme activities and nitrogen turnover in Phaeozem and Luvisol

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, 2023
Soil nitrogen (N) is a vital source of nutrients for maintaining soil fertility and crop production. However, the effect of biochar application rate on the mechanism of organic N transformation and the contribution of enzyme mineralization is still ...

Impact of Different Microplastics on Soil Evaporation Rates: A Comparative Analysis Across Chernozem, Umbrisol, and Luvisol

open access: yesLand
In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of microplastics (MPs) as significant emerging pollutants. Soil contamination by MPs, comprising plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, originates from diverse sources.

Changes in the Content of Soil Phosphorus after its Application into Chernozem and Haplic Luvisol and the Effect on Yields of Barley Biomass

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2016
The pot experiment was established in vegetation hall in the year 2015. Spring barley, variety KWS Irina, was grown. Two different soils – chernozem from Brno (with a low phosphorus content and alkali soil reaction – 7.37) and haplic luvisol from ...

Dye tracer and morphophysical properties to observe water flow in a Gleyic Luvisol Fluxo de água em um Gleyic Luvisol usando traçador e sua relação com as propriedades físicas e morfológicas do solo [PDF]

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2011
The understanding of the preferential water flow and solute transport is important with regard to losses of nutrients and pesticides that affect the quality of the groundwater or surface water resources. Experiments using the brilliant blue dye tracer, a

Lipid Biomarkers in a Gleyic Luvisol [PDF]

open access: yesПочвознание, агрохимия и екология, 2011
Four soil horizons of a meadow cinnamonic soil (Gleyic Luvisol) were analysed for the lipid biomarker pool. The GC/MS analysis of the lipid fraction showed that lipid signatures were dominated by alkanes (C17 - C33), alkanoic acids (С6 — C18) with minor

Carbon use efficiency and microbial functional diversity in a temperate Luvisol and a tropical Nitisol after millet litter and N addition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Tropical soils often contain less soil organic C (SOC) and microbial biomass C (MBC) than temperate soils and, thus, exhibit lower soil fertility.

Using soil heavy metal enrichment and mobility factors to determine potential uptake by vegetables

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2011
This study investigated copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) enrichment factor (EF) and mobility factor (MF) as possible indicators of their uptake by spinach (Spinaceae oleraceae) and carrots (Daucus carota) grown on a sludge-amended luvisol (SAL).

Insights into 33phosphorus utilisation from Fe- and Al-hydroxides in Luvisol and Ferralsol subsoils

open access: yes, 2019
There is currently relatively little available information on subsoil phosphorus (P) use for crop production as a function of soil order. In this study, a rhizobox experiment was performed using subsoils of two reference soil groups, an Orthic Ferralsol ...

Mineral fertilisation as a factor determining selected sorption properties of soil against the activityof phosphatases

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2013
The paper presents the contents of phosphorus and potassium available in soil, soil sorption properties against the activity of alkaline and acid phosphatase. The fertilisation applied involved P, K, Mg, Ca and S: (P K Mg Ca S), (K Mg Ca S), (P Mg Ca S),
