Organic carbon in Mollisols of the world − A review
Geoderma, 2023 Mollisols represent 29 % of agricultural land and they are considered to be one of the most fertile soils in the world. Here, we compare soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations and pools of Mollisols for the globe, the USA and Poland, and review how ...

Can artificial ecological corridors be used for ecological restoration of cultivated land in Chinese Mollisols? [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Artisficial ecological corridors (AECs) are internationally recognized as a standard method for restoring the regional ecological environment. However, the coupling relationship between AECs and soil quality has rarely been studied.

The Short-Term Effects of Mineral- and Plant-Derived Fulvic Acids on Some Selected Soil Properties: Improvement in the Growth, Yield, and Mineral Nutritional Status of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Soils of Contrasting Textures [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Fulvic acids (FAs) improve the structure and fertility of soils with varying textures and also play a crucial role in increasing crop production. The pot experiment was carried out using wheat grown on three soils with a silty clay, sandy loam, and clay ...

Identification and Isolation of Mollisols in Savadkooh region
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2013 The present study was carried out in Savadkooh region, Mazandaran province, North of Iran, to evaluate and identify, what kind of soils are in this area. The study area is under landuse of forest, rice fields and city. The results showed, because of high

Irradiation with carbon ion beams affects soybean nutritional quality in early generations [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 As people’s demand for healthy diet increases, improving soybean seed nutritional quality is becoming as important as yield. Carbon ion beam radiation (CIBR) is an effective method to create soybean mutants, and thus breeding cultivars with better seed ...
