Soils are some of the most biologically diverse environments, encompassing about 25 % of global biodiversity in terms of species (Coleman and Wall2015; Decaëns2010). One gram of soil can host 6000 different bacterial genomes, several meters of fungal hyphae and a wide range of protists, nem...
soil carbontextureWide maize yield gaps have been reported in Eastern Africa, hence possibility for increasing production. Previous yield gap studies relied on generic soils data such as Harmonized World Soils Database (HWSD). Using CERES-Maize model, the importance of newly available and detailed ...
2010), particularly for coarse texture soils with low water-holding capacity. Recent work suggests that factors threatening soil health in agroecosystems may be mitigated by the application of reactive silica. Silicon (Si) and oxygen are the most common elements in the Earth’s crust. Silica is ...
The amount of organic matter in soil depends on the input of organic material, its rate of decomposition, the rate at which existing soil organic matter is mineralized, soil texture, and climate. All four factors interact so that the amount of soil organic matter changes, often slowly, toward...
The geosphere is made up of all rock and rocky materials on the surface and under the surface of Earth. The geosphere includes the rocks, minerals, and soil of the crust, the mantle formed mostly of magma, and a very hot metallic core. The word "geosphere" comes from the Greek words ...
