Soil chemical property changes in eggplant/garlic relay intercropping systems under continuous cropping.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that relay intercropping eggplant with garlic could be an ideal farming system to effectively improve soil nutrient content, increase soil fertility, and alleviate soil sickness to some extent, important in helping to develop sustainable eggplant production.
Long-term no-till as a means to maintain soil surface structure in an agroecosystem transformed into irrigation
Evangelina Pareja-Sánchez,Daniel Plaza-Bonilla,María Concepción Ramos,J. Lampurlanés,Jorge Álvaro-Fuentes,Carlos Cantero-Martínez +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the most appropriate soil management to reduce the structural degradation of soils susceptible to crusting in Mediterranean areas recently transformed into irrigation was determined, based on a long-term field experiment (LTE) under rainfed conditions.
Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities associated with Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) and white oak (Quercus fabri) in a manganese mining region in Hunan Province, China
Jian Huang,Jian Huang,Kazuhide Nara,Kun Zong,Jun Wang,Shengguo Xue,Kejian Peng,Zhenguo Shen,Chunlan Lian +8 more
TL;DR: Canonical correspondence analysis revealed that soil Mn, Cu, Cd and several other soil cofactors related to manganese mining activities simultaneously structured the ectomycorrhizal community; in addition, a strong host effect was observed.

Seed Priming of Trifolium repens L. Improved Germination and Early Seedling Growth on Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soil
Laurence Galhaut,Alexis de Lespinay,David J. Walker,Maria Pilar Bernal,Enrique Correal,Stanley Lutts +5 more
TL;DR: Optimal priming treatment may be recommended as efficient tools to facilitate revegetation of former mining area and improved the light phase of photosynthesis and strengthened the antioxidant system of stressed seedlings.

Tillage, mulch and fertiliser impacts on soil nitrogen availability and maize production in semi-arid Zimbabwe
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of different fertility amendments (mineral fertiliser at 0, 20 and 40 kg N ha-1, 5 t ha- 1 manure only and 5 t n-1 manure + 20 kg N-1) on maize N uptake in semi-arid Matobo, Zimbabwe.

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
David S. Schimel,Bobby H. Braswell,Elisabeth A. Holland,Rebecca McKeown,Dennis S. Ojima,Thomas H. Painter,William J. Parton,Alan R. Townsend +7 more
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.
