Environmental assay on the effect of poultry manure application on soil organisms in agroecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper reports the effects produced on the organisms of the soil (plants, invertebrates and microorganisms), after the application of two types of poultry manure (sawdust and straw bed) on an agricultural land.

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Infrared Spectroscopic Predictions of Soil Properties for Agricultural Monitoring: Statistical and Soil Spectroscopic Considerations

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Pseudo‐independent validation (PIV) using regional datasets is common in visible‐to‐near‐infrared (vis–NIR) and mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy studies and produces accurate predictions but is relevant only to regional‐scale monitoring of known sites.

EFFECT OF MICRONUTRIENTS AND ORGANIC MANURES ON SESAME

open access: yesJournal of Ecobiotechnology, 1970
A field experiment was carried out in a coastal farmer’s field, to study the effect of NPK level, micronutrients and organics on the soil nutrient availability, microbial population, enzyme activity and yield of sesame. The various treatments included were, T1-100% NPK (Farmer’s Practice), T2-125% NPK, T3-150% NPK, T4-125% NPK + CCP @ 12.5 t ha-1, T5 ...

Effects of Crop Rotation and Hydrogel Application on Soil Biological Properties and Wheat Biomass Production in Drylands

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aim Conservation agriculture (CA) is rapidly gaining traction to promote sustainable crop production, focusing on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and strategic crop rotation. Moreover, hydrogel is increasingly being used to improve water retention, including in combination with CA, particularly in water limited ...

Perspectives of High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry in Soil Science

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil biogeochemical research requires specific, sensitive, and accurate methods to identify and quantify organic molecules in order to trace biochemical processes and assess element cycling in complex, heterogenous systems. High‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has evolved into a transformative tool for unraveling the complex chemical ...

Insect communities of late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...
