Microbial biodegradation of waste materials for nutrients enrichment and heavy metals removal: An integrated composting-vermicomposting process
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 15-L reactors for precomposting, a vermicomposting mixture of activated sewage sludge (control, 2000, 4000 and 6000 ǫ l −1 ) and corn stalk residue (40, 60 and 80).

Importance of rice root oxidation potential as a regulator of CH4 production under waterlogged conditions
TL;DR: The characterization of oxidized root area by digital image analysis rather than the α-napthylamine oxidation method was more effective in differentiating root oxidation potential among different lowland rice cultivars.

Unraveling the role of hyphal networks from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in aggregate stabilization of semiarid soils with different textures and carbonate contents
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a root-hyphae compartment approach to compare the effect of three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis, Septoglomus deserticola, and Gigaspora gigantea) on the structural stability of the hyphosphere.

Structural and chemical modification of Nontronite associated with microbial Fe(III) reduction: Indicators of “Illitization”
Tae hee Koo,Young nam Jang,Toshihiro Kogure,Jae Hoon Kim,Byung Cheol Park,Don Sunwoo,Jinwook Kim +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and terahertz time-domain spectrograph (THz-TDS) was used to measure indicators of illitization at a nanoscale, including the reversibility of the structure and K fixation at various Fe-redox states.

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

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.
