Grassland management and conversion into grassland: Effects on soil carbon Carbon sequestration rates were highest during the first 40 yr after treatments began and tended to be greatest in the top 10 cm of soil. Impacts were... Conant,RT.,Elliott,... - 《Ecological Applications》 被引量: 17...
Test your soil for a better garden next year. Summer is a good time to evaluate your soil’s health so that any fall amendments can break down over the winter in time for spring planting. Here’s how. You don’t have to dig too deeply to discover the secret of great gardening; it ...
Quantifying the upper limit of stable soil carbon storage is essential for guiding policies to increase soil carbon storage. One pool of carbon considered particularly stable across climate zones and soil types is formed when dissolved organic carbon sorbs to minerals. We quantified, for the first ...
it is an important indicator of soil health. It will affect crop yield and quality, plant nutrient availability, and the activity of soil microbes that is related to key soil processes, including emissions of greenhouse gases such as nitrogen oxides, methane, and carbon dioxide. Through this art...
Consistently growing them as a cover crop also boosts soil potential to capture carbon and moves farmers closer to acquiring carbon credits.To grow oats as a cover crop in your fields, sow seeds in the prepared soil, spacing them out 3 inches (7 cm) apart, without further thinning. When ...
Taken from my book: Soil Science for Gardeners. Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for you to be concerned about as a gardener. Next to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, nitrogen is the most abundant nutrient in plants and it is the nutrient that is most likely to be lacking in soil, ...
Energy Efficiency:Adopt energy-efficient practices, such as using renewable energy sources and optimizing equipment usage, to reduce the farm’s carbon footprint and lower operational costs. Waste Management:Adopt effective waste disposal and recycling strategies to reduce the environmental footprint of ...
Lifting the storage ceiling of soil organic carbon To examine the potential for biochar to protect soil organic matter from microbial degradation, we measured SOC stocks in a biochar-amended, managed pasture over 9.5 y. The field site, converted to managed pasture from subtropical forest 100...
