Basal soil respiration in land use and cover systems in a caatinga enclaves moist forest
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022 Deforestation and the disorderly exploitation of natural resources for agricultural expansion occurred at an accelerated pace in the Brejo microregion of the state of Paraíba, Brazil, which resulted in abandonment and erosion of the soil in a large part of the region.

Land use impact on carbon mineralization in well aerated soils is mainly explained by variations of particulate organic matter rather than of soil structure [PDF]
SOIL, 2022 Land use is known to exert a dominant impact on a range of essential soil functions like water retention, carbon sequestration, organic matter cycling and plant growth.

Are there environmental or agricultural benefits in using forest residue biochar in boreal agricultural clay soil? [PDF]
, 2020 Short-term agronomic and environmental benefits are fundamental factors in encouraging farmers to use biochar on a broad scale. The short-term impacts of forest residue biochar (BC) on the productivity and carbon (C) storage of arable boreal clay soil ...

Fire severity influences the response of soil microbes to a boreal forest fire
Environmental Research Letters, 2016 Wildfire activity is projected to increase in boreal forests as a result of climate warming. The consequences of increased wildfire activity for soil carbon (C) storage in boreal forests may depend on the sensitivity of soil microbes to fire severity ...
