Methods of soil analysis.

TL;DR: The carbon and nitrogen conversion processes and corresponding bacterial community occurring under the bioelectric field for the first time are clarified, helping to form regulation strategies in the practical application of soil BESs and providing a new perspective for removing petroleum hydrocarbons from soils.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate soil and water losses by hydric erosion, in standard plots under natural rainfall, in different management systems of post-planting eucalyptus forests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of intensive short-duration rotational grazing (IRG) management on soil properties in two study sites in Colombian Eastern Plains, and demonstrated the capacity of IRG management to intensify cattle production per unit area, while simultaneously improving soil properties and increasing soil macrofauna biodiversity.

TL;DR: In this article, a field experiment was conducted to examine the influence of various organic materials on soil aggregate stability and soil microbiological properties on the Loess Plateau of China, which involved seven treatments: no fertil izer (CK), inorganic N, P, K fertilizer (NPK); low amount of maize stalks plus NPK (LSNPK), medium amount of corn stalks, MSNPK, HSNPK and CNPK (CNPK) compared with the NPK treatment, soil treated with LSNPK had a significant increase of

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.

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.

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.
