Utilizing wood ash as a liming agent for the improvement of soil health and growth of bermudagrass

open access: yesFrontiers in Soil Science
Wood ash is a common by-product of industrial timber and timber product production. It has been used as a soil amendment to increase pH for centuries; however, much of the current industry sends this byproduct to landfills. In this study, we investigated

Soil pH Amelioration Synergizes Carbon Accrual with Yield Gains Under Organic Substitution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Soil pH shifts towards neutrality in both acidic and alkaline soils under organic substitution. A global synthesis links pH amelioration to soil organic carbon accrual through enhanced microbial biomass after accounting for added organic carbon and its interaction with pH. This pH amelioration‐shared soil organic carbon accrual accounts for 5.1–8.6% of

Evaluation of chemical amendments to control phosphorus losses from dairy slurry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
peer-reviewedLand application of dairy slurry can result in incidental losses of phosphorus (P) to runoff in addition to increased loss of P from soil as a result of a buildup in soil test P (STP). An agitator test was used to identify the most effective

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...
