• Relationship between earthworm abundance, ecological diversity and soil function in pastures.

  Authors:N.L. Schon, P.M. Fraser, and A.D. MackayFrom:Soil Research (Vol. 59, Issue 8) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 20216,871 words Article 1380LEarthworms contribute to a wide range of process that underpin soil function and ecosystem services and are an important component of a soil's natural capital stocks. With increasing interest in soil health, it is...

• Carbon and nitrogen stocks and organic matter fractions in the topsoil of traditional and agrisilvicultural systems in the Southeast of Brazil.

  Authors:Leidivan Almeida Frazao, Paulo Henrique Silveira Cardoso, Maria Nilfa Almeida Neta, Mauro Franco Castro Mota, Luana Larissa de Souza Almeida, Juliana Martins Ribeiro, et al.From:Soil Research (Vol. 59, Issue 8) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 20217,729 words Report 1490LThe adoption of conservationist systems can improve the protection of soil organic matter (SOM) and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, we aimed to quantify the soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks, C content in...

• Disaggregation of conventional soil maps: a review.

  Authors:Alberto Lazaro-Lopez, Maria Luisa Gonzalez-SanJose, and Vicente Gomez-MiguelFrom:Soil Research (Vol. 59, Issue 8) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 202110,314 words Article 1450LThe disaggregation of conventional soil maps is an active research line inside the Digital Soil Mapping framework that aims to generate new cartographies by disclosing the non-explicit soil distribution pattern within...

• Diffusive fluxes and water-extractable concentrations of different nitrogen forms in a temperate agricultural soil.

  Authors:Erich Inselsbacher and Robert PeticzkaFrom:Soil Research (Vol. 59, Issue 8) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 20213,421 words Report 1570LSynchronising nitrogen (N) fertiliser inputs and crop N demand is a major goal in intensive agriculture. However, assessing how much and in which form N arrives at the root surfaces remains a major challenge....

• Conversion of soil water retention and conductivity parameters from van Genuchten-Mualem to Groenevelt and Grant model.

  Authors:Marina Luciana Abreu de Melo, Quirijn de Jong van Lier, and Robson Andre ArmandoFrom:Soil Research (Vol. 59, Issue 8) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 20215,617 words Report 1550LThe van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) model is used largely to represent the relative soil hydraulic conductivity and soil water retention functions [[K.sub.r]([THETA]) and [THETA](h)]. Alternative equations proposed by...

• Short-term effects of rice straw biochar on hydraulic properties and aggregate stability of an Acrisol.

  Authors:Nathaniel Parker, Wim M. Cornelis, Kwame Agyei Frimpong, Eric Oppong Danso, Enoch Bessah, and Emmanuel ArthurFrom:Soil Research (Vol. 59, Issue 8) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 20216,775 words Report 1600LBiochar application to a structurally poor tropical soil could potentially alter the soil's aggregate strength and hydraulic properties. However, very few field studies have investigated the impact of biochar on the...
