These materials can kill roots while in the soil and caution must be exercised during application near existing trees. Some common materials in this category are vapam (sodium N-methyldithiocarbamate), methyl bromide, and vorlex [mixture of methyl isothiocyanate (20%) and chlorinated C3 ...
Under the hypothesis that digital technology distinguishes managed from unmanaged agroecosystems, this paper exposits on digital technology tenets, opportunities, and limitations for relaying synthesized soil quality information to enhance extension delivery and inform policy. Fig. 2 (Modified from Lal (2013...

The variability of soil is due to the interaction of pedogenic (i.e., soil parent material), edaphic (i.e., soil permeability, water table depth, salinity of perched groundwater, topography, and geohydrology), meteorological (i.e., amount and distribution of rainfall, temperature, relative ...
These associations have a significant effect on the flux, resilience and efficiency of nutrient delivery to plants (including water). Physical structure, determining the air–water balance in soil as well as transport rates, is influenced by nutrient and physical interventions. Contrasting emergent ...
SE is a complex process resulting from the impacts of wind, precipitation, human activities and associated runoff processes that are influenced by parent material, soil properties, relief and vegetation cover21,22. Although SE may occur naturally, anthropogenic activities such as land-use change, agr...
There is growing evidence of the link between biodiversity of soil fauna and the level of ecosystem services delivery. This is particularly true for carbon sequestration and cycling29–31. It is there- fore important from the perspective of belowground community functionality to evaluate the impact ...
Results Bareland and farmland have been expanding at the expense of other land use types. The annual soil loss in the watershed ranged from 0 to 113.21 t ha−1year−1, 0 to 163.16 t ha−1year−1, and 0 to 194.58tha−1year−1with a mean annual soil loss of 21.07, 29.35...
cause why researchers focus on indirect indicators of the soil systems functioning: the soil properties—i.e., the chemical composition of the different soil phases [4–7], soil structure [4,8,9], etc.—and the properties of environment connected to the soil by material—energy interactions....
However, broad-scale SM, DSM and SMS had not yet fully achieved the provision of information concerning the delivery of some soil functions and soil-based ecosystem services. Thus, we must enlarge the range of soil properties that we are monitoring. Physico-chemical and biotic soil data are ...
