Soil is very complex and varies in its composition. This quiz/worksheet combo will help you test your understanding of the structure and types of soil. The questions will quiz you on various characteristics of soil, such as soil structures that are easiest for water to penetrate. ...
Science Society revealed (BGS, 2015), the SPECP has become a successful and effective instrument for chemical and physical soil protection since its introduction in 2001. The SPECP’s tasks are to accompany building projects from the planning and authorization phase to the submission and ...
The mechanisms underlying plant-microbe interactions in coastal ecosystems are little explored. Here, the authors use multi-omics and biogeochemical measurements to investigate the saltmarsh cordgrass root microbiome and its role in coupling nitrogen fixation and sulfur cycling. ...

To determine and evaluate the soil structure in situ conditions, a lot of research methods have been proposed. However, ascertaining the applicability of t
Its bulb contains many types of abundant components such as alkaloids and has relatively higher ornamental value. Thus, there is increasing market demand on L. aurea. However, in the recent years, the deterioration of the ecological environment and the over-artificial digging had led to the ...
Clearly, the effects of soil microbial structure and diversity on MPs in different aggregates should be further investigated to provide insights into the effects of MPs on biogeochemical processes in soil aggregates of different sizes. In this work, free-MPs soil collected from natural agricultural ...
Soil microbiomes drive key functions in agroecosystems, determining soil fertility, crop productivity and stress tolerance. The microbiome is intricately linked with soil structure, such as aggregation and pore connectivity, because this structure regulates the flow of water, oxygen and nutrients through ...
and vegetated regions. Globally, the coarse spatial resolution of ESMs and their inability to simulate intense and short rainfall events mask effects of soil structure on surface fluxes and climate. Results suggest that although soil structure affects local hydrologic response, its implications on ...
Soil science as a scientific discipline was established in the 1800s. The discipline has developed a strong jargon which was needed to define and name the soil material and its many features. Semantics, or the science of meanings, has influenced the development of some subdisciplines in soil sc...
