Soil quality evaluation under different land management practices
Vincent de Paul Obade,Rattan Lal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of management on soil properties acquired at different depths, and yields, at five different field sites within Ohio, USA was investigated, and the principal management systems considered were no till with or without manure and cover crops, natural vegetation or forest, and conventional tillage (CT) defined as farms with surface residue cover (<30%).

Carbon dynamics after afforestation of semiarid shrublands: Implications of site preparation techniques
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the effect of two Pinus halepensis afforestation treatments: terracing (T) and terracing with soil amendment (AT) on soil organic carbon (SOC) in semiarid ecosystems.

Importance of soil organic carbon on surface soil water content variability among agricultural fields
Hida R. Manns,Aaron A. Berg +1 more
TL;DR: The Soil Moisture Active Passive Validation Experiment (SMAPVEX-12) field campaign provided SWC and physical properties from 50 cropland fields to assess the influence of soil organic carbon (SOC) on SWC variability in a range of SOC, SWC, and soil textural class over a 6-week period.

Impact of fertilization by natural manure on the microbial quality of soil: Molecular approach
Aziz Faissal,Naaila Ouazzani,Juan Parrado,Mohammed Dary,Hamid Manyani,Bruno Rodríguez Morgado,M.D. Barragán,Laila Mandi +7 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates also the existence of pathogens strains in soil amended by poultry manure belonging to the Clostridiales order and Pseudomonadales, the pathogenic bacteria detected posing a hazard of human contagion when they are used for soil practice.

Effect of four soil and water conservation practices on soil physical processes in a non-terraced oil palm plantation.
Abolfath Moradi,Christopher Teh Boon Sung,Kah Joo Goh,Ahmad Husni Mohd Hanif,Che Fauziah Ishak +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-year field experiment was conducted in a non-terraced oil palm plantation, and soil samples from 0 to 0.45m depths were collected every three months and analyzed for their soil physical properties.

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.
Climatic, edaphic, and biotic controls over storage and turnover of carbon in soils

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.
