Effect of Water and Wind Erosion on Buffering Capacity of Soils in Steppe Regions of the Republic of Bashkortostan
AbstractThe effect of wind and water erosion on the aggregate composition, chemical properties, and acid-base buffering capacity of steppe chernozems...

An increase of fine-root biomass in nutrient-poor soils increases soil organic matter but not soil cation exchange capacity
PurposeFine roots are an important source of soil organic matter (SOM); however, it is unclear whether the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of...

Phosphorus Environmental Risk Assessment in Wetland Soil
At the interface between agricultural fields and water bodies there are wetlands constituted by hydromorphic soils. Our hypothesis is that...

Soil acidity accelerates soil organic matter decomposition in Cryptomeria japonica stands and Chamaecyparis obtusa stands
Background and aimsResearch has focused on behavior of particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) in acidic soils,...
-
Morphological traits of Chamaecyparis obtusa fine roots are sensitive to soil acid buffering capacity
AimsThe purpose of this study was to clarify how the morphological traits of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Sieb. & Zucc.) Endl. roots vary with soil acid...
