Nitrous oxide mitigation potential of biochar derived from agricultural and forest biomass: Effects of feedstock composition and pyrolysis temperature. [PDF]
Abstract Biochar application to soil has been promoted to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet significant uncertainty exists in quantifying soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from biochar‐amended soils. We evaluated soil N2O emissions from soils amended with biochar prepared from diverse agricultural and forest ...

Linking remote sensing with crop modeling for yield and nitrate leaching predictions in Minnesota. [PDF]
Abstract Upscaling crop yield and nitrate‐N leaching loss from experimental sites to large areas under alternative crop rotations is crucial for assessing strategies and setting goals to protect groundwater quality at a regional scale. Nitrogen (N) rate field trials were used to calibrate the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model for ...

Soil sample timing, nitrogen fertilization, and incubation length influence anaerobic potentially mineralizable nitrogen [PDF]
Abstract Understanding the variables that affect the anaerobic potentially mineralizable N (PMN an ) test should lead to a standard procedure of sample collection and incubation length, improving PMN an as a tool in corn (

Cropping systems with perennial vegetation and livestock integration promote soil health
Soil health can differ across cropping systems because of variation in edaphic and management factors. We evaluated how biological indicators of soil health (soil organic matter [SOM], permanganate oxidizable carbon [POXC], mineralizable carbon [MinC ...

Predicting Economic Optimal Nitrogen Rate with the Anaerobic Potentially Mineralizable Nitrogen Test [PDF]
Estimates of mineralizable N with the anaerobic potentially mineralizable N (PMNan) test could improve predictions of corn (Zea mays L.) economic optimal N rate (EONR). A study across eight US midwestern states was conducted to quantify the predictability of EONR for single and split N applications by PMNan.

Sources of nitrogen for winter wheat in organic cropping systems [PDF]
In organic cropping systems, legumes, cover crops, residue incorporation, and manure application are used to maintain soil fertility, but the contributions of these management practices to soil nitrogen (N) supply remain obscure.

Soil biological quality of grassland fertilized with adjusted cattle manure slurries in comparison with organic and inorganic fertilizers [PDF]
We studied the effect of five fertilizers (including two adjusted manure slurries) and an untreated control on soil biota and explored the effect on the ecosystem services they provided.
