Organic carbon transport and C/N ratio variations in a large tropical river: Godavari as a case study, India [PDF]
This study gives an insight into the source of organic carbon and nitrogen in the Godavari river and its tributaries, the yield of organic carbon from the catchment, seasonal variability in their concentration and the ultimate flux of organic and ...

On-farm study reveals positive relationship between gas transport capacity and organic carbon content in arable soil [PDF]
Arable soils may act as a sink in the global carbon cycle, but the prediction of their potential for carbon sequestration remains challenging. Amongst other factors, soil aeration is known to influence root growth and microbial activity and thus inputs ...

Climate change: carbon losses in the Alps [PDF]
The response of the terrestrial carbon cycle to global change is one of the main uncertainties in current climate change predictions1. Most terrestrial carbon is held in soils as organic matter derived from the decay of plant material (Fig. 1).

Dynamics of maize carbon contribution to soil organic carbon in association with soil type and fertility level. [PDF]
Soil type and fertility level influence straw carbon dynamics in the agroecosystems. However, there is a limited understanding of the dynamic processes of straw-derived and soil-derived carbon and the influence of the addition of straw carbon on soil ...

Effects of land use on Soil Organic Carbon fractions in soils of Njala Landscape in Sierra Leone [PDF]
Soil organic carbon fractions reflect the difference in soil organic carbon from one land use to another, and it can be regarded as an indication of the degree of soil organic carbon deterioration or improvement.

Isotopic Analysis of Sporocarp Protein and Structural Material Improves Resolution of Fungal Carbon Sources [PDF]
Fungal acquisition of resources is difficult to assess in the field. To determine whether fungi received carbon from recent plant photosynthate, litter or soil-derived organic (C:N bonded) nitrogen, we examined differences in δ13C among bulk tissue ...
