Soil physical properties affect nematode counts in the Barnes soil series
Abstract Nematodes are important in soil food webs and are being considered in soil health frameworks. We evaluated nematode counts as a potentially rapid measure of land use effects on soil biology in a benchmark Mollisol. We assessed pedons (0–120 cm) from conventional, no‐till, and grassland fields in eastern North Dakota in October 2022.

Simplifying the Determination of Aggregate Stability Indicators of Mollisols [PDF]
ABSTRACTAggregate stability (AS) is a very sensitive soil physical health indicator. The complexity of its determination discourages frequent monitoring.

Definition of homogeneous fertility areas through factorial and geostatistical analysis
In a flat lot of 4 ha, with dry warm climate and Mollisols were determined the bulk density, pH and content of sand, silt, clay, organic matter, Ca, Mg, K and P, in the first 150mm of soil, doing a sampling in a semi-regular grid with cell size of 25 x ...

Changes in soil test phosphorus are not predictable using fertilizer input and crop removal
Abstract Volatile fertilizer prices have led to many producers and researchers exploring different immobile nutrient stratagems to increase the efficiency of fertilizer applications, leading to greater economic return. While many nutrient recommendations are based upon a soil test for that one season, for immobile nutrients such as phosphorus (P ...

Soil physical quality of Mollisols quantified by a global index [PDF]
Indicators synthesizing the state of the structural quality and the function of the porous system are useful for assessing soil production capacity as well as the way it may serve natural ecosystems. This research aimed (i) to determine indicators of the state and function of the porous system, (ii) to use them to derive a global index to characterize ...

Characterization of Lupinus angustifolius cultivated in Uruguay. The figure summarizes the experimental workflow applied to six Lupinus angustifolius samples cultivated in Uruguay. After sample preparation, different analytical approaches were performed: Proximate composition determination of moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude fat by standard AOAC

Abstract Perennial cellulosic bioenergy crops have the potential to control nutrient losses from agriculture while providing biomass for biofuel production. This study employed a rigorously calibrated Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to assess the effects of replacing conventional corn (Zea mays L.) with Miscanthus × giganteus and Alamo ...

Elevated moisture stimulates carbon loss from mineral soils by releasing protected organic matter
The effect of soil moisture on microbial activity and soil carbon storage remains unclear. Here, via Mollisol incubation experiments, the authors show elevated soil moisture can accelerate total carbon loss by facilitating microbial access to previously ...

Integrating Flow and Solute Flux Dynamics in an Adaptive LSTM Model for Stream Chemistry Predictions
Abstract High‐frequency measurements of stream solute dynamics reveal fluctuations across a multitude of time‐scales. At the storm‐event time‐scales they expose solute specific rapid mobilization or dilution effects, in addition to hysteresis. For various applications, predictions of these dynamics at measurement sites are desired to inform impending ...
