Effect of elemental sulphur on chemical changes and nutrient availability in calcareous soils
TL;DR: Sulphur was added to three calcareous soils varying in texture, CaCO3 content, native phosphorus and micronutrient content at a rate of 0.5, 1.5 and 3.0%.

Carbon and nitrogen mineralization during decomposition of crop residues in a calcareous soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the medium-term influence of pepper residues applied at different rates (2, 3 and 5 ǫ kg − 1 ) on carbon and nitrogen cycles in an agricultural soil was evaluated under laboratory conditions.

TL;DR: Observations supported a shift of microbial community with decline in its abundance, decrease in fungal proportion and thus in C utilization efficiency under pollution in the soils, which is better indicative of heavy metal impacts on microbial community structure and activity.

Effects of Liming Acidic Soils on Improving Soil Properties and Yield of Haricot Bean
TL;DR: In this article, a field experiment was carried out in Sodo Zuria Woreda, Kutosorpelakebele on Nitisol loam soil with an inherent property of high Phosphorus fixation and acidity to study the influence of liming on reducing soil acidity and improving the desirable soil characteristics and grain yield.
Different temperature sensitivity and kinetics of soil enzymes indicate seasonal shifts in C, N and P nutrient stoichiometry in acid forest soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential activities of five main soil enzymes (β-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase, Leu-aminopeptidase and leu-polyamino-polytechnic acid acidification) responsible for organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus acquisition in the Bohemian Forest in Central Europe were measured.

Analysis of factors controlling soil organic matter levels in Great Plains grasslands
TL;DR: In this article, a model of soil organic matter (SOM) quantity and composition was used to simulate steady-state organic matter levels for 24 grassland locations in the U.S. Great Plains.

Terrestrial ecosystem production: A process model based on global satellite and surface data
Christopher S. Potter,James T. Randerson,Christopher B. Field,Pamela A. Matson,Peter M. Vitousek,Harold A. Mooney,Steven Klooster +6 more
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.
Model estimates of CO2 emissions from soil in response to global warming
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.

The role of biology in the formation, stabilization and degradation of soil structure
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.
