Spatial Decoupling of Biological and Geochemical Phosphorus Cycling in Podzolized Soils
Phosphorus (P) is essential to life yet constrained by finite reserves, heterogeneous distribution, and strong chemical binding to soil minerals. Pedogenesis progressively alters the availability of P: in ‘young’ soils, P associated with Ca and Mg is ...

Infrared spectra of soil organic matter under a primary vegetation sequence
Background We applied Fourier-Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques in combination with selective humus extractions to investigate in situ the chemical features of organic matter in three soil profiles recently developed from Dutch sand ...

Site-Specific Multilevel Modeling of Potato Response to Nitrogen Fertilization
Technologies of precision agriculture, digital soil maps, and meteorological stations provide a minimum data set to guide precision farming operations. However, determining optimal nutrient requirements for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) crops at subfield

ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...

Abstract In Germany during several decades, emissions and thus the chemical climate affecting forests have changed significantly. The effects of these changes on the element balance of forests can be documented only by long‐term observations, as has been done at the Höglwald site (Southern Bavaria) since 1985.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mixed dipterocarp lowland tropical rain forests on Oxisols and Ultisols and heath forests on Spodosols are considered distinct vegetation types in Borneo. Here we present the endmember hypothesis of ecosystem diversification, which describes a continuum of forest ...
