ABSTRACT Background: Reliable estimation of carbon (C) inputs from above‐ and belowground residues at different yield levels is crucial, as these inputs drive soil organic carbon (SOC) models for C accounting. Aims: This study quantifies C inputs from different components of winter oilseed rape (WOSR) and compares them with estimates from various ...

ABSTRACT Soil erosion remains a major global concern affecting agricultural productivity and land sustainability. This study investigates the magnitude and variability of soil erosion in a long‐term experiment (LTE) established in 1963 in Colonia, Uruguay, aiming to compare the performance of the 137Cs tracer technique and the RUSLE model across ...

ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

Research on the Presence of Phaeozems in the Suceava Plateau
Phaeozems are in class cernisols and has a wide spread in the Suceava Plateau. These soils have been the objective of many pedo-geographical studies, being firstly interpreted as exhausted chernozems (Obrejeanu et al., 1958), as exhausted brown forest soils (Bucur, 1967), and then as pratozems or chernozems like soils (Florea and Muica, 1962 ...
