Chemical and microbiological characterization of Cambisols, Luvisols and Stagnosols [PDF]

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2009
Cambisols, Luvisols and Stagnosols are main soil taxonomical units covering 78% of the total area of the Czech Republic. In the period 2001-2008 soil samples from 13 arable and 2 grassed localities were collected and tested. Microbial biomass carbon (MBC) was determined using microwave irradiation method (MW), chloroform fumigation extraction method ...

Redistribution of soil water by mature trees towards dry surface soils and uptake by seedlings in a temperate forest

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Mature beech trees redistributed soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand transpiration, from deeper moist soils to dry surface soils, where it was taken up by seedlings of different tree species. Abstract Hydraulic redistribution is considered a crucial dryland mechanism that may be important in temperate environments facing increased soil drying–wetting

Interactive Effects of Biochar and Sewage Sludge on Bioavailability and Plant Uptake of Cu, Fe, and Zn, and Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) Yields under Wastewater Irrigation

Agronomy, 2020
Biochar can influence bioavailability of micronutrients and crop yields in sewage sludge-treated soils, but the mechanisms of its effects remain poorly understood.

Functional traits explain growth response to successive hotter droughts across a wide set of common and future tree species in Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Functional traits can explain significant tree growth reductions in response to the 2018–2020 drought for a wide set of 71 species including angiosperms and gymnosperms. Moreover, four distinct response types emerged: ‘Sufferer’, ‘Late sufferer’, ‘Recoverer’ and ‘Resister’, with gymnosperms predominately appearing as ‘Sufferer’ and ‘Late sufferer ...

The relationship of soil sulfur with glomalin-related soil protein and humic substances under different mineral and organic fertilisation

Plant, Soil and Environment
In recent years, sulfur inputs into the soil have greatly diminished due to the significant decrease in SO2 emissions. Plant nutrients, like sulfur, can be released by the mineralisation of soil organic matter (SOM), which is a complicated mixture of ...

Microscopic observations of the recent soils: a step for understanding the paleosols [PDF]

, 2009
The microscopic observations of the recent soil horizons were conducted in Okayama, Japan (moderate climate). The several soil horizons, including two surface (epipedon) and three subsurface horizons, were recognized in the forest, poorly vegetated hill,

Root water uptake depth in temperate forest trees: species‐specific patterns shaped by neighbourhood and environment

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Root water uptake strategies vary among temperate tree species (European beech, Douglas fir, and Norway spruce), with beech–conifer mixtures altering water uptake depths, while site conditions and temporal dynamics further shape the contribution of different soil depths to water supply.

The Content of Soil Glomalin Concerning Selected Indicators of Soil Fertility

Agronomy
The glomalin content is generally considered an indicator of the soil organic matter (SOM) quality. The content of easily extractable glomalin (EEG) and the total glomalin (TG) content was investigated across 71 different sites in the Czech Republic with

Influência da incorporação de coberturas mortas e da mobilização no comportamento térmico da camada de ar acima de um Solo mediterrâneo pardo [PDF]

, 2010
A aplicação de coberturas mortas (mulches) à superfície do solo ou a simples mobilização deste influenciam directamente o respectivo balanço energético, modificando deste modo o ambiente térmico da camada superficial do solo e o da camada de ar ...
