Soil Amendments at Planting [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Horticulture, 1984 The growth response of 10 difficult to establish landscape shrubs and trees was evaluated in a series of 4 backfill experiments utilizing hole sizes, organic amendments, mulch, and/or drip irrigation. Growth responses varied among species, but no consistent, positive responses were derived from traditional backfill amendments.

Optimal Grazing Exclusion Duration to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration in Degraded Grasslands
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Across China, grazing exclusion reaches the national mean soil organic carbon recovery benchmark sooner in high‐MAP regions (> 500 mm), but recovery is much slower where MAP < 300 mm. Scaling this strategy to 70% of China's degraded grasslands would sequester about 1.52 Pg of soil carbon over 10 years—roughly 17% of annual global fossil‐fuel emissions.

Climate Change Mitigation in the Dairy Sector: Uncovering Heterogeneity Through Eco‐Efficiency Clubs
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Combining climate change goals with economic targets is crucial for the dairy sector, which is a significant contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. In this paper, we assess economic and climate change implications of dairy production with panel data of Irish dairy farms from 2013 to 2021.

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