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.

Agronomy, 2021 Using muriate of potash (MOP) as a source of potassium (K) is a cost-effective method for crop production in tropical peat soils. However, exchangeable K commonly leaches from tropical peat soils because of high rainfall and a lack of clay to retain this

, 2022 In strongly weathered tropical soils, humus and humic substances (HSs) appear to play an important role in soil fertility because they represent the dominant reservoir and source of plant nutrients. As the refractory organic carbon form of soil, HSs play a vital role in the atmospheric CO2 sequestration.

Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest [PDF]
, 2010 We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

Metabolites, 2021 Tropical forests are biodiversity hotspots, but it is not well understood how this diversity is structured and maintained. One hypothesis rests on the generation of a range of metabolic niches, with varied composition, supporting a high species diversity.

Role of the sediments of two tropical dam reservoirs in the flux of metallic elements to the water column [PDF]
, 2012 In tropical climates, the high rainfall and temperature, throughout the annual cycle, allow high leaching rates of metallic elements from the basin upstream, which accumulate in the reservoirs.
