Mollisols properties and changes in Ukraine and China
Chinese Geographical Science, 2011Soils are the foundation of civilizations and the basis for human food production. Mollisols in Ukraine and Northeast China are two out of the four major Mollisol regions in the world. The natural areas from which Mollisols developed are the prairies and steppes that experience temperate and freezing conditions. This review paper introduces the general

Dynamic modeling of topsoil organic carbon and its scenarios forecast in global Mollisols regions
Global Mollisols regions play crucial roles in maintaining world food security, performing ecosystem services and global carbon cycling. Little is known about the spatial and temporal variability of soil organic carbon (SOC), future trends, and the ...

Overview of Mollisols in the world: Distribution, land use and management
Mollisols a.k.a., Black Soils or Prairie Soils make up about 916 million ha, which is 7% of the world’s ice-free land surface. Their distribution strongly correlates with native prairie ecosystems, but is not limited to them.

Fertilization accelerates the decomposition of microplastics in mollisols
Science of The Total Environment, 2020Agricultural films composed of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) have been widely used in farmland, and LDPE microplastics (LDPE-MPs) produced from LDPE degradation can pollute soils and can exert negative effects on biota. Both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) can alter the activity of soil microorganisms and may alter the LDPE-MP degradation process in ...

Microplastics change the leaching of nitrogen and potassium in Mollisols
Science of The Total Environment, 2023Nowadays, the dynamics of nutrients leaching from the soils and their driving mechanism have been focused on, however, it is still unclear how microplastics (MPs) influence the nutrients' leaching in soils. In this study, five concentrations (w/w, 0.0 %, 0.5 %, 1 %, 2 %, 3 %) and three sizes of MPs of polyethylene (PE) (0.15-0.36 mm, 0.36-0.60 mm and 0.

Investigation on the Stabilization of the Humus in Mollisols
Zeitschrift für Pflanzenernährung und Bodenkunde, 1988AbstractSoil organic matter in Mollisols is often preserved for an extremely long period (e.g. > 3000 years). We confirmed that the stable organic matter in Mollisols is the medium to coarse sized (0.2–2.0 μm) clay‐humus complex with humic acid combined with calcium as the main organic constituent.

Persistence of Subsoil Compaction in a Mollisol
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1976Abstract Persistence of subsoil compaction was tested in Nicollet clay loam (a Mollisol) in southwestern Minnesota. Plots were either not packed or packed in 1960 in the bottom of each plow furrow using about 7.5 bars pressure, and were cropped to corn ( Zea mays L.) and ...

Key factors influencing on vegetation restoration in the gullies of the Mollisols
Journal of Environmental Management, 2021Natural vegetation restoration (NVR) highly relates to the development of gully erosion, and is mainly determined by both the soil properties and species competition in the gullies. However, it is still not clear what are the key factors influencing on the vegetation restoration in the gullies with the poor soil properties (e.g. low soil organic matter

Fate of Benfuracarb Insecticide in Mollisols and Brinjal Crop
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2009The fate of benfuracarb was studied under field conditions in brinjal fruits and soil following foliar spray application at 0.25 and 0.50 microg g(-1) by HPLC. At 0.25 microg g(-1), benfuracarb persisted up to 7 days both in soil and brinjal but at 0.50 microg g(-1), benfuracarb residues persisted up to 10 and 12 days in soil and brinjal fruits ...
