Indeed, soil quality is more complex than the quality of air and water, not only because soil constitutes solid, liquid and gaseous phases, but also because soils can be used for a larger variety of purposes (Nortcliff, 2002). This multi-functionality of soils is also addressed when soil ...
Livestock grazing intensity (GI) is thought to have a major impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and soil quality indicators in grassland agroecosystems. To critically investigate this, we conducted a global review and meta-analysis of 83 studies of extensive grazing, covering 164 sites ...
Biochar amendment is becoming a promising technology for mining soil restoration. The addition of biochar can improve soil microbiological parameters related to soil quality, such as enzyme activities. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the effect of rabbit manure (RM) and two rabbit ...
While water remains a vital resource to sustain life on earth, global food security will also depend on plant nutrients to improve crop production and quality [3]. In this regard, chemical fertilizers have one of the greatest consumption rates in the agricultural sector, with significant amounts...
Additionally, the high fineness of L, particularly in comparison to SF, may have contributed to the differences of pH and thus the available Po of this treatment with respect to the others. Along with CCE, fineness defines the material quality of a liming agent [19] because it controls its...
Soil erosion, for instance, leads to decreased soil fertility and landscape quality. Coppice鈥恮ood management includes risk factors for soil erosion due to the partial and temporary lack of soil cover, and this review highlights the importance of considering both an adequate methodology and ...

Water table elevation (WTE) data were collected on T1 in a groundwater well located 50 m from the river (Fig. 2) using a mul- ti-parameter water quality probe (TROLL 9000/9500, In-Situ Inc., Ft. Collins, CO, USA). The well was constructed of slotted 5.08-cm (nominally 2-in.) ...
