Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Communities in the Roots of Sago Palm in Mineral and Shallow Peat Soils [PDF]

Agriculture, 2021
Communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in plant roots improve host plant growth. In this study, AMF communities in the roots of the sago palm (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) were investigated in mineral soil (MS) and shallow peat soil (SPS) in ...

Analysing hydrological impacts of controlled drainage, peat thickness and groundwater fluxes in cultivated peat soils

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science
This study analysed the effects of controlled drainage, peat layer thickness and hydrological connections on the hydrology of agricultural peatlands. A hydrological model was combined with a comprehensive field-scale dataset, consisting of several field ...

ADMIXING ORGANIC OVERLAYS AND MINERAL SUBLAYERS OF SHALLOW PEAT SOILS FOR IMPROVING SOIL PRODUCTIVITY

Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 1988
This growth room and greenhouse study with 13 subsoils and organic overlays was aimed at developing crop choices and strategies for continued land use of shallow organic soils and at refining the criteria used for assessing the long-term agricultural capability of deep organic soils.

Assessing the impact of rewetting agricultural fen peat soil via open drain damming: an agrogeophysical approach [PDF]

SOIL
Open drainage ditch (i.e., open drain) damming aims to raise the water table in agricultural grassland peat soils thereby reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A current knowledge gap is how to examine the spatial and temporal effectiveness of such an

Erosion of Amazonian mangroves over peatlands leads to soil carbon loss [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Mangrove forests are coastal ecosystems with high soil carbon stocks as a result of intense forest productivity and saturated soils that favor organic preservation for long periods of time.

An adaptive mapping framework for the management of peat soils: A new Irish peat soils map

Geoderma
Accurate mapping for effective management of peat soils is necessary to help reduce GHG emissions and improve environmental quality. However, mapping remains a major challenge as definitions of peat soils vary substantially between jurisdictions and ...

High CO₂ fluxes from grassland on histic Gleysol along soil carbon and drainage gradients [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
Drained organic soils are anthropogenic emission hotspots of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Most studies have focused on deep peat soils and on peats with high organic carbon content. In contrast, histic Gleysols are characterized by shallow peat layers, which

Behaviour of an organomontmorillonite-acetochlor formulation in drained wetland soils of the Hula Valley [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2012
Weed control poses a real challenge to agriculture in general, and to agriculture on drained peatlands in particular. An understanding of the interactions between clay minerals and organic molecules has yielded effective preparations of herbicide ...
