Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is,

Studying the Effect of Implement of Two Plowing Depths and Manure Mixing with Soil on the Soil Moisture Content

Maǧallaẗ al-baṣraẗ al-ʻulūm al-zirāʻiyyaẗ, 2017
A field experiment was carried out in silty clay soil at Agricultural Research Station of Garmat Ali in order to study the effect of the plowing depths and manure application on soil moisture content at different soil depths (0-10 (d1), 10-20 (d2), 20-30

Reclaimed Well Sites on Salt Affected Soils: Electrical Conductivity and Sodium Adsorption Ratio as Plant Community Response Indicators

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt affected soils are common worldwide, resulting from natural causes and anthropogenic activities. Saline and sodic soils often occur in association with oil and gas production, impacting soil properties which can impede vegetation growth and development.

Evaluation of limestone rates and incorporation methods in a Latossol

Acta Agronómica
Practices such as liming, whether incorporated or not, can be beneficial for improving the productivity of agricultural crops. The objective of this study was to evaluate soil physical properties as a function of limestone rates and incorporation ...

Nitrogen‐Fixing Woody Plants Sequester More Soil Mineral‐Associated Carbon and Lose Less Particulate Carbon Than Herbs Post Vegetation Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dividing soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate (POC) and mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for understanding the formation, persistence, and functions of soil carbon. However, current understanding of the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC following vegetation restoration remains unclear.

Mechanism Analysis of Soil Disturbance in Sodic Saline–Alkali Soil Tillage Based on Mathematical Modeling and Discrete Element Simulation

Agriculture
To elucidate the mechanism by which soil disturbance affects tillage performance during subsoiling remediation of northeastern primary sodic saline–alkali soil, this study established a mathematical prediction model linking subsoiler configuration ...

How Does Glucose Addition Affect Net Carbon Balance in Top and Deep Soils in Tropical Rubber‐Based Agroforestry Systems?

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The priming effect, which can accelerate or suppress the mineralization of soil organic carbon (SOC), plays an important role in soil carbon cycling. However, the impact of exogenous carbon addition on SOC priming in rubber‐based agroforestry systems remains unclear.

Energy Consumption Studies of Soil-Protecting Machine-Tractor Aggregate for Soil Loosening

Acta Technologica Agriculturae
Over the years, soil loosening, as a primary form of soil tillage, has been performed with machines of various construction characteristics that usually work at a depth of 0.40 m or sometimes even greater depths.

Environmental Filtering and Microbial Interactions Drive Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Assembly in Subtropical Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are pivotal to forest ecosystem functions, yet the mechanisms shaping their assembly across complex environments remain poorly understood. This study examined bacterial and fungal communities within topsoil and subsoil under subtropical coniferous forest (CF), mixed conifer–broadleaf forest (MF), and broadleaf forest
