Assessing Soil Organic Carbon, Soil Nutrients and Soil Erodibility under Terraced Paddy Fields and Upland Rice in Northern Thailand

Agronomy, 2022
Terracing is the oldest technique for water and soil conservation on natural hilly slopes. In Northern Thailand, terraced paddy fields were constructed long ago, but scientific questions remain on how terraced paddy fields and upland rice (non-terraced ...

Response of soil nutrients and erodibility to slope aspect in the northern agro-pastoral ecotone, China [PDF]

SOIL
Soil erosion, considered a major environmental and social problem, leads to the loss of soil nutrients and the degradation of soil structure and impacts plant growth.

Divergent behaviour of soil nutrients imprinted by different land management practices in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, China [PDF]

International Soil and Water Conservation Research
Soil nutrients are essentially regulated by land management practices via modulating biotic element input and metabolism. The Three Gorges Reservoir Area in China was dominated by a farming landscape, but land management has become diversified over ...

Changes in Organic Carbon Index of Grey Desert Soil in Northwest China After Long-Term Fertilization

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2014
Soil organic carbon (SOC), soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) and SMBC quotient (SMBC/SOC, qSMBC) are key indexes of soil biological fertility because of the relationship to soil nutrition supply capacity. Yet it remains unknown how these three indexes

Effects of Tree Species and Soil Enzyme Activities on Soil Nutrients in Dryland Plantations

, 2021
Long-term afforestation strongly changes the soil’s physicochemical and biological properties. However, the underlying mechanism of different tree species driving change in soil nutrients is still unclear in the long-term dryland plantations of the Loess

Comparative response on the growth of the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) under fertilizer treatment based on on-site soil testing

Environment Conservation Journal, 2017
With the ever increasing demand for increasing the productivity per unit area and the narrowing cost benefit ratio has made the farmer more sensitive to the soil fertility status and soil health.

Current developments in soil ecotoxicology and the need for strengthening soil ecotoxicology in Europe: results of a stakeholder workshop

Environmental Sciences Europe, 2018
Background Soil is one of our most important resources and fulfills many ecological functions such as storage and filtration of water and nutrients, transformation of chemical compounds and nutrients, biomass production, and carbon storage.

The impact of agricultural soil erosion on biogeochemical cycling [PDF]

, 2010
Soils are the main terrestrial reservoir of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and of organic carbon. Synthesizing earlier studies, we find that the mobilization and deposition of agricultural soils can significantly alter nutrient and carbon ...

Short Term Effects of Revegetation on Labile Carbon and Available Nutrients of Sodic Soils in Northeast China

Land, 2020
In response to land degradation and the decline of farmers’ income, some low quality croplands were converted to forage or grassland in Northeast China. However, it is unclear how such land use conversions influence soil nutrients.
