Changes in organic molecular marker signatures in soils amended with biochar during a three-year experiment with maize on a Fluvisol

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2022
Biochar is widely used as a soil amendment to improve soil properties and as a tool to absorb net carbon from the atmosphere. In this study we determined the signatures of organic molecular markers in soil following the incorporation of 5 and 10 t/ha ...

Conservation tillage regulates the assembly, network structure and ecological function of the soil bacterial community in black soils

Plant and Soil, 2022
Traditional tillage represents a serious threat to the stability of soil ecosystems. Understanding the response mechanisms of soil microbial community assembly to different tillage practices is a major topic of soil ecological research.

The Phytoremediation Potential of Local Wild Grass Versus Cultivated Grass Species for Zinc-Contaminated Soil

Agronomy, 2023
The aim of the study was to compare the phytoremediation potential of cultivated grasses with local wild grass for soil contaminated with zinc. Two pot experiments were carried out on soil artificially contaminated with Zn.

Tillage effects on soil properties and crop yield after land reclamation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Tillage treatments have an important effect on soil microstructure characteristics, water thermal properties and nutrients, but little is known in the newly reclaimed cultivated land.

Water use efficiency, grain yield, and economic benefits of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under four soil tillage systems in Mukono District, Uganda

Heliyon, 2021
With the increasing climate change impacts and variabilities, water is becoming a limiting factor for rainfed crop production in Uganda. Conservation tillage practices could improve soil and water conservation in croplands.

Carbon Sequestration to Avoid Soil Degradation: A Review on the Role of Conservation Tillage

Plants, 2021
Human efforts to produce more food for increasing populations leave marks on the environment. The use of conventional agricultural practices, including intensive tillage based on the removal of crop residue, has magnified soil erosion and soil ...

SOIL EROSION BY TILLAGE IN RAINFED N-W. EGYPTION COAST [PDF]

Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018
Tillage erosion is one of the main causes of land degradation. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of tillage systems (up and downslope and contour tillage), soil conditions (consolidated and loosened soils), tillage depth, speed

Four decades of continuously applied tillage or no‐tillage on soil properties and soil morphology [PDF]

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2021
AbstractAs increasing amounts of cropland are managed using no‐tillage (NT), information is needed to assess long‐term impacts of this practice on soil profile properties. A well‐drained Wooster fine‐loamy (mixed, active, mesic, Oxyaquic Fragiudalf) soil and a poorly drained, Hoytville silty clay loam (fine, illitic, mesic Mollic Epiaqualf) were ...

The influence of lead on the growth Trifolium repens L. and Phleum pratense L. in the monocultures and plant mixture on light soil of different acidity

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013
The purpose of the microplot experiment, on the light soil, was determination of concentration of lead at different pH, inhibiting growth of Trifolium repens L. and Phleum pratense L. at the monoculture and at the mixture of these two species.
