Soil gross nitrogen transformations in forestland and cropland of Regosols [PDF]
Soil gross nitrogen (N) transformations could be influenced by land use change, however, the differences in inherent N transformations between different land use soils are still not well understood under subtropical conditions.

Effects of Soil Quality on the Microbial Community Structure of Poorly Evolved Mediterranean Soils [PDF]
Physical and chemical alterations may affect the microbiota of soils as much as the specific presence of toxic pollutants. The relationship between the microbial diversity patterns and the soil quality in a Mediterranean context is studied here to test ...

Soil pH modulates microbial nitrogen allocation in soil via compositional and metabolic shifts across forests in Japan. [PDF]
This study reveals how soil pH regulates microbial N allocation in forest soils across Japan. We show that microbial abundance controls the overall rate of N cycling, while microbial composition and metabolic potential determine whether ammonium is released or retained.

Geochemical Characteristics of Typical Karst Soil Profiles in Anhui Province, Southeastern China
The geographical distributions of Cd and several other heavy metals (HMs) (Hg, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cr, As, Co, and V) were characterized in 90 (p > 0.05) terra rossa samples across the Anhui karst area. Significant enrichment of HM was observed in this soil,
