Soil biological quantity and quality parameters of grasslands in various landscape zones
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2011 In three landscape zones of a permanent grassland catchment (discharge zone, D; transient zone, T; and recharge zone, R; Crystallinicum, Czech Republic), soil moisture by volume (θ) and soil biological quantity and quality parameters, e.g.

DOC trial: diversity and metabolic effiency of microbial communities in organic and conventional soils [PDF]
, 2000 Soil microbiota are favoured by organic farming systems. Moreover they were found to need less energy fore their maintenance. The diversity of microbial functions was also increased. Our results support the hypothesis that diverse populations make better

Contamination and Soil Biological Properties in the Serra Pelada Mine - Amazonia, Brazil
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2018 Discovered in 1980 and unleashed an utter gold rush of the modern era, Serra Pelada was the largest open-air mine in Brazil. About 80,000 gold prospectors worked there until 1984, when the gold pits were flooded. The environmental impact caused by mining

Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2016 © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Purpose: The applications of biochar (BC) and polyacrylamide (PAM) may have interactive effects on carbon (C) dynamics and sequestration for improving the soil quality and achieving sustainable agriculture. Relative to BC and PAM, rhizodeposits act as C and energy source for microorganisms and may change the ...

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B — Soil & Plant Science, 2017 The study was conducted to determine how biochar as a soil amendment maintained the microbial community in pesticide contaminated soils. Alfisol (Adenta series – Typic Kandiustalf) and Vertisol (Akuse series – Typic Calciustert) were amended with biochar (0 t/ha biochar, 10 t/ha cocoa husk biochar (CHB), 10 t/ha rice husk biochar (RHB)) and pesticides (

GeodermaThe heterogeneous distribution of specific microbial taxa with diverse physiological traits, caused by changes of soil fertility level, controls community-level functions. However, how specific microbial taxa mediate community-level carbon (C) metabolic efficiency across various fertility conditions in paddy soils is limited.

Industrial and urban organic wastes increase soil microbial activity and biomass
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2012 Microbial processes have been used as indicators of soil quality, due to the high sensitivity to small changes in management to evaluate, e.g., the impact of applying organic residues to the soil.

The effect of deforestation and land use change on ecophysiology indices of soil carbon and nitrogen [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2015 Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are the most important greenhouse gases. The changes of these gases are mainly affected by the variability of carbon and nitrogen ecophysiology indices.
