The effects of precipitation and soil type on three invasive annual grasses in the western United States
TL;DR: Findings reveal that greater biomass allocation to roots and greater responsiveness of root growth to differing precipitation regimes of medusahead may favor its ecological success over other invasive annuals under future climate scenarios.

Is chiseling or inverting tillage required to improve mechanical and hydraulic properties of sandy clay loam soil under long-term no-tillage?
José Miguel Reichert,André Anibal Brandt,Miriam Fernanda Rodrigues,Milton da Veiga,Dalvan José Reinert +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, compressive, shear, and hydraulic soil properties in a sandy clay loam Hapludalf, under continuous no-tillage and tillage operations to ameliorate soil physical conditions were determined.

Sewage sludge processing determines its impact on soil microbial community structure and function
Stefania Mattana,Beatrix Petrovičová,Loretta Landi,Antonio Gelsomino,Pilar Cortés,O. Ortiz,Giancarlo Renella +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of sludge-derived materials on soil microbial properties, fresh (LAF), composted (LAC) and thermally dried (LAT) sludge fractions, each resulting from a different post-treatment process of a same aerobically digested sewage sludge, were added at 1% application rate on two contrasting (a loam and a loamy sand) soils and incubated under laboratory conditions for 28 days.

Effect of Pisha sandstone on water infiltration of different soils on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Wenmei Ma,Xingchang Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Wang et al. studied the one-dimensional vertical infiltration of water in three experimental soils, created by mixing Pisha sandstone with sandy soil, irrigation-silted soil, and loessial soil, at mass ratios of 1:1, 1:2,1:3, and 1:4.
Utilization of effluent fish farms in tomato cultivation
TL;DR: The main objective of as mentioned in this paper is to study to which extent the content of nutrients in water farming is sufficient for growing tomato plants, and the obtained results indicated that the nutrients consumption increased with increasing the flow rate.

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.
