eDNA extraction protocol for metagenomic studies in tropical soils
BioTechniques, 2021 The lack of knowledge about biological communities residing in soils, especially those in tropical regions, represents a constraint to management practices to take advantage of the ecological services provided by soil microbiota to agroecosystems. One of

Detailed regional predictions of N2O and NO emissions from a tropical highland rainforest [Discussion paper] [PDF]
, 2013 Tropical forest soils are a significant source for the greenhouse gas N2O as well as for NO, a precursor of tropospheric ozone. However, current estimates are uncertain due to the limited number of field measurements.

Spatial variations of nitrogen trace gas emissions from tropical mountain forests in Nyungwe, Rwanda [PDF]
, 2012 Globally, tropical forest soils represent the second largest source of N2O and NO. However, there is still considerable uncertainty on the spatial variability and soil properties controlling N trace gas emission.

Phosphorus sorption in tropical soils
AIMS Agriculture and Food, 2020 Phosphorus is an important primary nutrient required by plants in large quantities. The various forms of P that plants can take up are the primary monobasic phosphate ion (H2PO4-), secondary dibasic phosphate ion (HPO42-) and phosphate ion (PO43-).

Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]
, 2016 Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...

Evaluation, selection and assessment of guidelines for chemical stabilization of tropical residual soils [PDF]
, 2008 Soil stabilization has been widely used as an alternative to substitute the lacking of suitable materials on site. Guidelines and standards have been developed to assist practitioners in designing structures such as road by mean of stabilization.
