Continuous Stem Water Potential Measurements With Microtensiometry Reveal Species Identity and Soil Matric Potential Control of Stem Water Potential in Temperate Forests

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Water potential gradients govern water fluxes, and plants respond with species‐specific hydraulic traits that influence ecosystem function. While understanding these traits is key to predicting vegetation responses to climate change, traditional methods like the pressure chamber limit temporal resolution and continuity.

Hydrological Conditions Outweigh Soil Texture, Temperature, and Terrain in German Agricultural Land Use

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 2, Page 243-254, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self‐sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increasing ambitions for nature restoration and green energy. Meanwhile, the overall agricultural area shrinks due to land sealing.

Possible effects of climate change on the early development of pea, broad bean, maize and sunflower in Mediterranean areas. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In Mediterranean-type climates crop yield depends strongly on the early development of individual plants. Extreme variations of soil temperature close to the surface of bare soils and fast changes of soil water content due to irregular rainfall and high ...

Sampling Design and Sample Processing Affect Soil Biodiversity Assessments

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity surveys require an appropriate sampling design for optimal performance and comparability across space and time and across studies. Based on PacBio and Illumina amplicon sequencing of animals, bacteria and fungi, we assessed and compared various soil sampling designs from widely used continental and global metabarcoding‐based ...

Soils classified in the Arboretum Mlyňany, Slovakia

open access: yesFolia Oecologica, 2018
Successful adaptation of introduced trees requires providing appropriate conditions for their growth and life. In this context, our study aim was a soil survey in the Arboretum Mlyňany, on the basis of which the soils could be classified.

Enzymatic browning of potatoes is greatly reduced with organic fertilization compared to mineral fertilization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Enzymatic browning of tubers owing to mechanical injury is assessed to indicate bad quality, mainly for visual reasons. Browning is also a serious problem during processing of potatoes.

With Regard to the Chromic Luvisols in Romania

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Studies, 2016
There are many written reports concerning the formation and the distribution of chromic luvisols of Romania. In many cases it cases it has been apreciated the fact that their presence would due to some specific condition, the stress being focused on the Mediterranean nuance of climate.Newer pedological studies show that these soils have a distribution ...

Tillage intensity and cover crop affect yield, energy efficiency, and sustainability of rainfed finger millet and pigeon pea cropping system in semiarid tropics

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Little is known about the sustainability of an intercropping system comprising finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan). We therefore sowed both cover crops and the above crops over 3 years in a seed mix of 8:2 by weight to assess their effects on soil properties, yield potential, and energy‐use efficiency.

Investigation of the effect of soil mineral composition on soil organic matter stability

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2016
The soil organic matter (SOM) pools with different stability play different roles in the agricultural and environmental processes, e.g. in the global carbon cycle.

Mulching and soil tillage influence on the thermal behaviour of a Luvisol surfacel layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Important energy exchanges at soil surface regulate the thermal environment within top soil layer and the boundary layer above it. By this reason, the application of mulches or the modelling of micro relief by soil tillage are common practises to modify ...
