Soil biodiversity and fuction have been altered by the increasing levels of nitrogen as a result fertilization atmospheric deposition. Although soil microarthropods are crucial component play key role in diverse range functions, our understanding mechanisms which N addition affects them remains limited. Using long-term experiment (2012–2016) poplar plantations (Populus deltoides L. CL‘35′) loca...

Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring chemical element considered toxic and carcinogenic by health environmental protection agencies. Studies of As adsorption/desorption behavior in soils are important to predictions As’ potential mobility natural systems. The aim this study was assess the adsorption As(V) from Minas Gerais, Brazil, determine its immobilization rate order identify with characte...

Libation, or the pouring of wine or blood on the ground, was an important element of religious practice in ancient Greek religion (Burkert 1985), indicating reverence for soil. Homer (c . 750 BC, Iliad 14.347) sang how ‘divine soil [χθών δı̂α] made fresh-sprung grass to grow, and dewy lotus, crocus and hyacinth’. A similar epithet ‘sacred soil’ [‘ιερòν πέδoν], which includes the root word for pe...

Owing to data scarcity, the soil properties of Colombian “Piedemonte Llanero” are poorly quantified. To provide basic information about how pedogenic along a steeply sloped and perhumid landscape related its use (which can help lead toward better management establishment sustainable crop production system), this work addresses characterization morphogenetic chemical features selected Piedemonte...

Abstract . Ketika semua pori-pori dalam tanah terisi air, maka tersebut dikatakan memiliki daya hantar hidrolik (tanah jenuh). Tidak seperti drainase, yang hanya mengacu pada tindakan pergerakan konduktivitas jenuh juga bagaimana bahan organik, mineral, udara, dan partikel lain diangkut oleh air akan diserap ke tanah. Tekstur, struktur, porositas adalah tiga variabel dapat berdampak persyaratan...

Sustainable management of soil carbon (C) at the state level requires valuation C regulating ecosystem services (ES) and disservices (ED). The objective this study was to assess value ES from organic (SOC), inorganic (SIC), total (TSC) stocks, based on concept avoided social cost dioxide (CO2) emissions for South Carolina (SC) in United States America (U.S.A.) by order, depth (0–200 cm), region...

Arsenic (As) is one of the most harmful chemical elements known to man and environment, mainly due its high toxicity wide distribution; content this element within soils a genuine concern, thus making it paramount know natural contents in regional context. The present study aimed determine A horizon 31 soil profiles from state Santa Catarina, Brazil, which useful determining reference values, m...

Even though many forest plants spend all or a significant portion of their lives in the forest understory, few studies have compared understory composition, structure, and resource availability among forests. We used standardized transect-based methods to compare small sapling densities (10•50 cm tall), understory vegetation cover, canopy openness, and nutrient availability in non-gap portions ...
