Methods of soil analysis.

TL;DR: Overall, the results indicate that intraspecific adjustments along the water availability gradient relied primarily on changes in resource allocation between sapwood and leaf area and in leaf water relations.

TL;DR: In this article, a pot experiment employing two types of eucalyptus wood derived biochar, i.e., low (350°C) and high (800 °C) pyrolysis temperatures, was applied at four rates: 0, 1, 2, and 4% w/w, once at the beginning of the experiment to a loamy-sand Ultisol and a silty-clay-loam Oxisol.

TL;DR: The results showed that the combined application of indigenous PGPR, B. megaterium, A. chlorophenolicus and Enterobacter can be used as efficient microbial consortium for wheat production.

TL;DR: Increased potassium, sourced from the BC, induced mitigation of Na uptake by maize and consequently, reduced the impact of salt stress as evidenced by overall declines in the antioxidant activities of APX and GR.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a modeling approach aimed at seasonal resolution of global climatic and edaphic controls on patterns of terrestrial ecosystem production and soil microbial respiration using satellite imagery (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer and International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project solar radiation), along with historical climate (monthly temperature and precipitation) and soil attributes (texture, C and N contents) from global (1°) data sets as model inputs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Century ecosystem model was applied to a series of forest and grassland sites distributed globally to examine large-scale controls over soil carbon, including soil texture and foliar lignin content.

TL;DR: In this article, the Rothamsted model is used to calculate the amount of CO2 that would be released from the world stock of soil organic matter if temperatures increase as predicted, the annual return of plant debris to the soil being held constant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of soil structure involves the physical forces of shrinking and swelling created by changes in water status of soils, freezing and thawing, tillage, or by movement of the larger biota in soils.
