Contrasting Silicon Dynamics Between Aboveground Vegetation and Soil Along a Secondary Successional Gradient in a Cool-temperate Deciduous Forest
Silicon is an essential or beneficial element in many organisms. Silicon uptake by vegetation strongly influences terrestrial silicon dynamics; however, little is known about the changes in plant silicon cycli...

Interactive effects of crop residue quality and nitrogen fertilization on soil organic carbon priming in agricultural soils
Soil organic carbon (SOC) priming affects C sequestration in soils, the intensity of which differs depending on residue quality. N fertilization could also alter SOC priming. However, the interaction of crop r...

Significance of Active Aluminum and Iron on Organic Carbon Preservation and Phosphate Sorption/Release in Tropical Soils
The effects of active Al and Fe (acid ammonium oxalate-extractable Al and Fe: Alo and Feo) on the preservation of organic carbon (OC) and sorption/release of phosphate in tropical soils are presented. For OC pres...

Could Soil Acidity Enhance Sequestration of Organic Carbon in Soils?
On the basis of field and laboratory measurements of the dynamics of soil organic matter (SOM) in Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine having different soil pH levels, we postulate that soil aci...

Management of below-ground biomass of Typha angustifolia by harvesting shoots above the water surface on different summer days
A dynamic model of regrowth in Typha angustifolia after cutting shoots above the water surface was formulated by characterizing the phenology and mobilization of resources from below-ground to above-ground organs...
