A warm response by soils: the flux of carbon from soils to the atmosphere has apparently increased with climate warming. But does this reflect a net loss of carbon to the atmosphere that could exacerbate climate change?The worlds soils contain twice as ...

We evaluated the status of the microbial biomass N pool in grassland, and in deciduous and evergreen forest soils in Chiba, central Japan. Microbial biomass N, a labile fraction of total N in the soil, ranged from 6.96 g N m -2 (15 cm depth) in the grassland to 24.8 g in the deci...
The Hungarian language edition of the book "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" was released here Monday at the National Bank of Hungary (MNB), receiving warm applause from the Central and Eastern European country. China improves IPR protection China has taken steps to better protect intellectual...
Overall, we conclude that GCM practices could improve carbon sink and boost biological soil health in Chinese orchards. The response, however, varied depending on local environmental factors. We also highlight that a careful assessment of the site-specific conditions is needed to determine the approp...
soils and thus SOC under current climate represented by the “ambient” group are at steady state, and the soils will finally reach a new steady state under future warmer climate represented by the “warm” group. So, the estimated percentage response of SOC represent the difference between the...
No, the FE exam is not adaptive (i.e., your response to one question has no bearing on the following question). Even if you answer the first five mathematics questions correctly, you’ll still have to answer the sixth question. Why is the FE Exam Unique? The FE exam is unique because...
These ecosystems exhibit a distinct seasonal contrast, with the dry and warm summer climate impacting the erodibility of the soil. This is primarily due to the reduced vegetation cover and the lower aggregate stability (Le Bissonnais et al., 2007). Furthermore, the intensity of precipitation ...
The Anchorage Island soils also had very high levels of inorganic nitrogen in the form of ammonia and nitrate due to the proximity of a bird colony. Even with these large differences, key soil microbiological parameters showed consistent responses to warm- ing, which were also apparent at the ...
Interactions between soil organic matter and minerals largely govern the carbon sequestration capacity of soils. Yet, variations in the proportions of free light (unprotected) and mineral-associated (protected) carbon as soil develops in contrasting ecosystems are poorly constrained. Here, we studied 16...
