The influence of organic amendments on soil aggregate stability from semiarid sites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Restoring the native vegetation is the most effective way to regenerate soil health. Under these conditions, vegetation cover in areas having degraded soils may be better sustained if the soil is amended with an external source of organic matter.

Soil microbial activity as influenced by compaction and straw mulching

open access: yesInternational Agrophysics, 2012
Soil microbial activity as influenced by compaction and straw mulchingField study was performed on Haplic Luvisol soil to determine the effects of soil compaction and straw mulching on microbial parameters of soil under soybean. Treatments with different compaction were established on unmulched and mulched with straw soil. The effect of soil compaction

Mulching and soil tillage influence on the thermal behaviour of a Luvisol surfacel layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Important energy exchanges at soil surface regulate the thermal environment within top soil layer and the boundary layer above it. By this reason, the application of mulches or the modelling of micro relief by soil tillage are common practises to modify ...

Effects of Different Regulatory Methods on Improvement of Greenhouse Saline Soils, Tomato Quality, and Yield

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
To identify effective regulatory methods scheduling with the compromise between the soil desalination and the improvement of tomato quality and yield, a 3-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate and compare the effect of straw mulching and soil ...

Effect of weed management strategies on the risk of enteric pathogen transfer into the food chain and lettuce quality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The hygienic quality of raw edible vegetables such as lettuce may be influenced by pathogen transfer from soil to plant, which might occur during weed control by hoeing or as splash-effects during rainfall.

Straw measures attenuate the differences in surface-subsurface flow and sediment yield under four rainfall patterns on red soil sloping farmlands of southern China

open access: yesAgricultural Water Management
The intra-event dynamics of rainfall processes significantly alter surface-subsurface flow generation and sediment yield on sloping farmland. However, the effectiveness of straw mulching in regulating these rainfall-induced erosion processes remains ...
