Fertilization Highly Increased the Water Use Efficiency of Spring Maize in Dryland of Northern China: A Meta-Analysis

Agronomy, 2023
Water and fertilizer play an important role in crop growth in dryland areas. It is a necessity to improve the water use efficiency (WUE) of the crop once the water resource is limited. In northern China, where there is a wide shortage of water resources,

Nitrogen addition alters elemental stoichiometry within soil aggregates in a temperate steppe [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2016
Ongoing increases in anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs have largely affected soil carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in most terrestrial ecosystems. Numerous studies have concerned the effects of elevated N inputs on soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC ...

MAPPING FIRE SEVERITY FROM RECENT CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES USING SATELLITE IMAGERY [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023
Urban sprawl has become a huge concern for cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago in recent years. As urban sprawl pushes urbanization into city suburbs and outskirts, forest fragmentation becomes evidently prevalent and exposes forests to high ...

Chemical staining of particulate organic matter for improved contrast in soil X-ray µCT images

Scientific Reports, 2021
Degradability of organic matter (OM) in soil depends on its spatial location in the soil matrix. A recent breakthrough in 3D-localization of OM combined dual-energy X-ray CT-scanning with OsO4 staining of OM.

Soil properties determine the elevational patterns of base cations and micronutrients in the plant–soil system up to the upper limits of trees and shrubs [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2018
To understand whether base cations and micronutrients in the plant–soil system change with elevation, we investigated the patterns of base cations and micronutrients in both soils and plant tissues along three elevational gradients in three climate ...

Alteration of soil carbon and nitrogen pools and enzyme activities as affected by increased soil coarseness [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Soil coarseness decreases ecosystem productivity, ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks, and soil nutrient contents in sandy grasslands subjected to desertification. To gain insight into changes in soil C and N pools, microbial biomass, and enzyme
