From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 49, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedVarious studies were reviewed to see the correlation between the soil's organic matter and available water capacity. The volume of water held by the soil at field capacity increases more rapidly than the volume of water...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 39, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedResults from the first phase of a long-term experiment showed that, after 6 years under pasture, several soil quality attributes had improved compared with soil cropped annually. The objectives of this study were to...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 44, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedIn tropical regions, pasture establishment involves tillage operations. Adoption of conservation tillage practices could result in lower costs and in improved soil quality by decreasing soil organic carbon (SOC) losses....
-
From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 45, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCultivation and cropping of soils results in a decline in soil organic carbon and soil nitrogen, and can lead to reduced crop yields. The CENTURY model was used to simulate the effects of continuous cultivation and...

From:Biogeosciences (Vol. 2016, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedSoil organic matter (SOM) forms the largest terrestrial pool of carbon outside of sedimentary rocks. Radiocarbon is a powerful tool for assessing soil organic matter dynamics. However, due to the nature of the...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 12, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThere is increasing evidence showing that microbes can influence plant-insect interactions. In addition, various studies have shown that aboveground pathogens can alter the interactions between plants and insects....
-
From:Soil Research (Vol. 59, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedEvidence is emerging that the solubility of soil organic matter (SOM) in water is a key factor regulating the turnover of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). We used data from a field trial with a wide range of treatments in a...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedStudying the influence of climatic and/or site-specific factors on soil organic matter (SOM) along an elevation gradient is important for understanding the response of SOM to global warming. We evaluated the composition...

From:Soil Research (Vol. 57, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedSoil organic matter (SOM) plays a key role in soil structure formation, although the bidirectional relationship between SOM and the soil pore network is complex and needs further investigation. Despite great advances...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedStumps account for a large proportion of coarse woody debris in managed forests, but their decay dynamics are poorly understood. The loss of mass and the degree of humification of the above-ground woody debris,...

Spatial assessments of soil organic carbon for stakeholder decision-making - a case study from Kenya
Land degradation impacts the health and livelihoods of about 1.5 billion people worldwide. Given that the state of the environment and food security are strongly interlinked in tropical landscapes, the increasing...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 13, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedIncreasing organic carbon sequestration in agricultural soils is important for improving soil fertility and mitigating climate change. Wood ash is generally applied as a potassium fertilizer, but the effects of...
-
From:Estonian Journal of Ecology (Vol. 62, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedStudies of the properties of soil organic matter are essential for understanding the humification reactions and soil diagenesis processes. The aim of this study is to analyse properties of peat and peat humic acids as...
-
From:Soil Research (Vol. 56, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedEstimating the likely variance in soil organic carbon (OC) at the scale of farm fields or smaller monitoring areas is necessary for developing sampling protocols that allow temporal change to be detected. Given the...
-
From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 45, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn 1984, a field experiment was initiated in Coimbra, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, involving the combination of 3 levels of mineral fertilisers at control (0); 10 kg N/ha, 15 kg P/ha, and 17 kg K/ha (MF1); 20 kg N/ha,...
-
From:Soil Research (Vol. 57, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedDiversification within a cropping system together with no-till (NT) soil management can help to improve soil organic carbon (SOC). The present study was conducted to assess the impacts of crop diversity through crop...
-
From:Soil Research (Vol. 49, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThe quantity and/or quality of soil organic matter (SOM) and its fractions regulate microbial community composition and associated function. In this study an established, replicated agricultural systems trial in a...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIn order to properly determine the value of charring crop residues, the C use efficiency and effects on crop performance of biochar needs to be compared to the un-charred crop residues. In this study we compared the...
