It is vital to create standardized procedures and quality assurance controls. The cost of producing and using biochar at large scales can prevent its general acceptance. To make biochar more available to farmers and land managers, cost-effective production techniques and application methods must be ...
Thus, global DSM maps are useful for setting soil capability and condition at broad scales because they provide a generic product that is complete and covers the globe, but utilizing all the data available at country level generally delivers better quality products. This is why comparisons between...

Analyzing soil quality using traditional “walk in the field” survey and laboratory methods can be a daunting task, that is, labor, time, and cost intensive especially for data collected over a large areal extent (Guo and Gifford2002; Venegas-Li et al.2019; West and Post2002). Besides, ...
[4]. This degradation is accompanied by a decline in soil quality, manifesting as loss of soil carbon, nutrient depletion, reduction in land fertility, decreased biodiversity, soil acidification, salinity, compaction, and alterations in soil microbial communities, thereby creating challenges for the ...
(error bars) are consistent with that of rainfall. On the other hand, the temporal variability in SOC transformation across different months is more constant with smaller error bars because of the same quality of litter input among each annual cycle (FigureS3in Supplementary Information). In the...
subsequently influencing crop yield and quality. Nevertheless, the environmental relevance of MPs in soil has only been confirmed by a limited number of studies. Microplastics have the potential to interact with different functional groups existing in the dissolved fraction, which could be attributed to...
