Effects of land use and land cover on selected soil quality indicators in the headwater area of the Blue Nile basin of Ethiopia
TL;DR: The study shows that a land use and management system can be monitored if it degrades or maintains or improves the soil using key soil quality indicators, and significantly affected bulk density, soil acidity, and silt content.

Spreading topsoil encourages ecological restoration on embankments: soil fertility, microbial activity and vegetation cover.
Desirée Rivera,Violeta Mejías,Berta M. Jáuregui,Marga Costa-Tenorio,Ana I. López-Archilla,Begoña Peco +5 more
TL;DR: A significant implication of these results is that it permits the application of thinner topsoil layers, with major savings in this scarce resource during the subsequent slope restoration work, but the quality ofTopsoil relative to the original substrate should be previously assessed on a site by site basis.
Modeling the effects of different irrigation water salinity on soil water movement, uptake and multicomponent solute transport
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model that describes the water movement and mass transport of individual ions (Ca 2+, Mg 2+ and Na + ) and overall soil salinity by means of the soil solution electrical conductivity, is used.

Detoxification and eco-friendly recycling of brick kiln coal ash using Eisenia fetida: A clean approach through vermitechnology.
Ananya Mondal,Ananya Mondal,Linee Goswami,Nazneen Hussain,Soma Barman,Eeshan Kalita,Pradip Bhattacharyya,Satya Sundar Bhattacharya +7 more
TL;DR: The field experiment demonstrated that vermiconverted-BKCA could be utilized as potential organic fertilizer for rice production, soil fertility rejuvenation, and metal detoxification, and reveals that E. fetida could be used as an efficient contender for sanitization of toxic BKCAs.

Soil microbial community shifts with long-term of different straw return in wheat-corn rotation system
TL;DR: The structural and functional response of the soil bacterial and fungal community to more than 10 years of straw return in wheat-corn rotation system is reported on and it is suggested that full corn straw return might have positive impact on soil mineral nutrient but negative impact on land microbial community diversity and pathogenic risk.

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.
