Biochar is extensively used for ameliorating soil structure. However, the evaluation of physical properties influenced by its large-scale use still unclear. Moreover, research on biochar mainly based laboratory tests, lacking medium and long-term field positioning tests. In this study, a local trial was conducted 3 years Loess Plateau in central Gansu, China. Six levels treatment were set with ...

In the Mediterranean basin, edaphic salinization, sodification and alkalinization related to anthropic pressures climatic changes may hinder ecosystem sustainability. It is pertinent study mid long-term variability of these soil characteristics in face off macro agricultural system use (i.e., irrigation or rain-fed). Four irrigated soils from Caia Irrigation Perimeter (Portugal), Fluvisols, Luv...

A comprehensive study on the Indian summer monsoonal rainfall (ISMR) is performed in light of decadal changes continuous events and number rainy days using 68 years (1951–2018) gridded rain gauge data. Non-parametric Mann–Kendall’s test applied total amount, days, events, magnitude to find trends over different climatic zones India for two periods, 1951–1984 1985–2018. Our results found a decre...

Rice is an important economic crop in Thailand. However, paddy rice fields are one of the largest anthropogenic sources methane (CH4) emissions. Therefore, suitable management practice necessary to reduce CH4 emissions while grain yield maintained. This study aimed evaluate appropriate options fertilizer and water practices for Thai cultivation with regards improving reducing The Denitrificatio...
