Decreased Soil Microbial Nitrogen Under Vegetation ‘Shrubification’ in the Subarctic Forest–Tundra Ecotone: The Potential Role of Increasing Nutrient Competition Between Plants and Soil Microorganisms
The consequences of warming-induced ‘shrubification’ on Arctic soil carbon storage are receiving increased attention, as the majority of ecosystem...

Soil Organic Carbon Stocks
The soil carbon (C) stock of terrestrial biomes is determined by natural (e.g., vegetation cover, soil type, climate) and anthropogenic (e.g., soil...

On-farm greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon stocks of a soybean‒maize system
The agriculture sector is responsible for approximately one-quarter of Brazilian greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the present study, we aimed to...

Comparative Analysis of the Drivers of Soil Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Stocks in Different Coniferous Plantations on the Eastern Tibetan Plateau
The eastern Tibetan Plateau has experienced an enormous increase in afforestation over the past few decades to restore the biological environment,...

High-sorgoleone producing sorghum genetic stocks suppress soil nitrification and N2O emissions better than low-sorgoleone producing genetic stocks
PurposeRapid nitrification leads to loss of nitrogen (N) fertilizer in agricultural systems. Plant produced/derived biological nitrification...

Tillage and reseeding effects on soil carbon stocks: evidence from 500 agricultural grasslands in the UK
Several studies across different agroecosystems worldwide have compared the effects of single soil tillage events to no-till on soil carbon (C)...
-
The effects of canopy gaps on soil nutrient properties: a meta-analysis
Canopy gaps are a prevalent disturbance form in forest ecosystems that promote forest regeneration and succession by modifying the heterogeneity of...

Litter Fall Decomposition and Its Effects on Nutrient Accretion to Soil Under Agroforestry Systems
Litter fall is an essential component of the nutrient cycle in agroforestry systems, which is directly relevant to nutrient accretion and...
-
Conservation tillage increases nutrient accumulation by promoting soil enzyme activity: a meta-analysis
AimsThe conservation tillage i.e. reduced tillage (incl. no tillage and minimum tillage) and straw return, plays an important role in the promotion...
