Soil Use and Management, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1557-1569, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Biochar is obtained by the pyrolysis of biomass, and contains abundant carbon and minerals. Biochar supplementation of soils can greatly improve soil health and quality, but these beneficial effects typically develop slowly over time. Depending on the quality of the biochar and the soil to which it is applied, it may take years before positive

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 730-735, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used to assess the vegetation of an ecosystem. This report presents three data sets from UAVs used on a savannah‐type ecosystem in Senegal. Two data sets contain an orthomosaic and a surface and terrain digital model (UAV outputs), along with associated field measurements on the tree and herbaceous ...

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 163-175, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Forest stratification plays a crucial role in the interception of light and plants' photosynthetic activities. However, there is still a lack of information on the contribution of tropical forest stratification to its functioning, despite the increasing number of studies.

The contribution of Friedrich Albert Fallou to modern soil science
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 185, Issue 6, Page 766-772, December 2022., 2022 Abstract This article deals with Friedrich Albert Fallou (1794–1877), a lawyer by education with a strong interest for soil and geology who published “Pedologie oder allgemeine und besondere Bodenkunde” in 1862, that is, 20 years before Dokuchaev's (1883) “Russian Chernozem.” He is known for having coined the term of “pedology” but his role in the ...

Activating dark earths: somatosoils and the carbonic loops of Amazonian ecologies
Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 854-874, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Inspired by the fertility and climate change‐mitigation properties of the so‐called Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs), soil science has devised a technoscientific replica, a soil amendment known as biochar, intended to improve agricultural sustainability and carbon storage in the biosphere. Drawing on fieldwork with Afroindigenous horticulturalists,

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 12-26, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Primary minerals of the parent material undergo weathering during the formation of terrestrial soils to varying extent. As a result, secondary minerals develop, which comprise, among many others, hydroxy‐interlayered minerals (HIMs). These minerals have formed by interlayering of hydroxy‐metal complexes (especially of Al3+, also Mg2+, Fe2+/3+)

The effect of amino acid enantiomers on activity of selected enzymes in soil
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2011 This work was aimed to test the effect of selected amino acid enantiomers on activity of casein-protease and acid phosphomonoesterase in soil. Casein-protease was selected due to its key role in nitrogen mineralization and acid phosphomonoesterase due to
