Effects of sterilization techniques on chemodenitrification and N2O production in tropical peat soil microcosms [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2019
Chemodenitrification – the non-enzymatic process of nitrite reduction – may be an important sink for fixed nitrogen in tropical peatlands. Rates and products of chemodenitrification are dependent on O2, pH, Fe2+ concentration, and organic matter ...

Prediction of water retention of soils from the humid tropics by the nonparametric k-nearest neighbor approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Nonparametric approaches such as the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) approach are considered attractive for pedotransfer modeling in hydrology; however, they have not been applied to predict water retention of highly weathered soils in the humid tropics ...

Meta-analysis on how manure application changes soil organic carbon storage

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Manure application to agricultural soils is widely considered as a source of nutrients and a method of maintaining levels of soil organic carbon (SOC) to mitigate climate change.

Rare earth elements as tracers of chemical transfer processes in tropical rain forest soils in french Guiana : S13.04-P -10 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The rare earth elements (REE) have been successfully used in the past to trace weathering and water/rock interaction in lateritic soil systems. In the present study we used the REE to monitor chemical transfer processes in French Guiana along a ...

Coupled Above‐ and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.

Global Nitrogen Deposition Promotes Carbon Sink Formation in Terrestrial Ecosystems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Nitrogen deposition alleviates ecosystem N limitation and enhances carbon sinks. Using 829 observations, we show 36% of deposited N is retained globally (39.15 Tg N yr−1), with distinct NHx and NOy contributions. This retention drives a terrestrial C sink of 0.88 Pg C yr−1 (25.48%), highlighting the importance of pool‐specific C:N stoichiometry ...

Influence of induced cementation on compressibility and shear behaviour of tropical residual soils

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
The analysis and prediction of the behavior of sedimented soils are fairly well established and widely accepted. The behavior of tropical residual soils is different from that of sedimented soils owing to the basic differences that exist in the formation

Nitrogen stable isotopic composition of leaves and soil: Tropical versus temperate forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Several lines of evidence suggest that nitrogen in most tropical forests is relatively more available than N in most temperate forests, and even that it may function as an excess nutrient in many tropical forests.
