Use of biochar on two volcanic soils: effects on soil properties and barley yield
TL;DR: In this paper, two field experiments were conducted simultaneously to evaluate the effect of oat hull biochar (OBC) on various physical-chemical properties of two volcanic soils, an 'Inceptisol' and an 'Ultisol', and evaluate the resulting effects on the yields of barley (Hordeum vulgare) grown on these soils.
Influence of earthworm abundance and diversity on soil structure and the implications for soil services throughout the season
TL;DR: There was a strong positive relationship between earthworm abundance and diversity, drainage and plant growth and negative relationship with soil moisture, and the need to consider their changing influence throughout the season is highlighted.

Pretreatment of garden biomass using Fenton’s reagent: influence of Fe2+ and H2O2 concentrations on lignocellulose degradation
Vivek P. Bhange,Spm Prince William,Abhinav Sharma,Jagdish Gabhane,Atul N. Vaidya,Satish R. Wate +5 more
TL;DR: The results of the present investigation showed that Fenton’s reagent was effective on GB, however, concentration of Fe2+ and H2O2 play crucial role in determining the efficiency of pretreatment.
Effects of sheet flow rate and slope gradient on sediment load
Elham Sirjani,Majid Mahmoodabadi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of flow rate and slope gradient on runoff and sediment discharges in two different soils was investigated using a tilting flume facility with the test area of 0.2'×'1.0'm.

The response of microalgal biomass and community composition to environmental factors in the Sundays Estuary
TL;DR: The Sundays Estuary is permanently open to the sea and experiences regular freshwater inflow in the form of agricultural return flows with large supplies of nutrients as discussed by the authors, which can then be used in setting the ecological water requirements of the estuary.

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.
