Trade-off between ‘new’ SOC stabilisation from above-ground inputs and priming of native C as determined by soil type and residue placement Abstract Due to the geographical expanse of grasslands with depleted organic matter stocks, there has been growing interest in the management of these ecosys...
Amending soil with biochar (pyrolized biomass) is suggested as a globally applicable approach to address climate change and soil degradation by carbon sequestration, reducing soil-borne greenhouse-gas emissions and increasing soil nutrient retention. Biochar was shown to promote plant growth, especially ...

Nutrient amendment diminished bacterial functional diversity, consolidating carbon flow through fewer bacterial taxa. Here, we show strong differences in the bacterial taxa responsible for respiration from four ecosystems, indicating the potential for ta
In this study, nutrient release from biochars derived from the slow pyrolysis of exhausted grape marc (EGM) at 300, 400 and 500 掳C (EGM300, EGM400 and EGM500) was investigated through five successive leaching assays in batch mode for a total duration of 10 days. Then, nutrient leaching/...
Elucidating the mechanisms of understory vegetation response to forest management practices is critical to the impact of soil nutrient cycling. However, as common management practices, how thinning leading to the restoration of understory vegetation affects soil biochemical properties and microbial-mediated ...
Evaluation of nitrate leaching from mine tailings amended with biosolids under Mediterranean type climate conditions Mine tailings are difficult to revegetate due to the lack of organic matter, severe nutrient limitations, and potential metal toxicity. Biosolids has been ... Claudia Santibáez a,Rosanna...
Biochar and its potential to increase water, trace element, and nutrient retention in soils KerryMitchell, ...LukášTrakal, inBiochar in Agriculture for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals, 2022 3.2.1.2Water retention Soil waterretention is usually described by the water content at field capacity...
Soil enzymes are one type of the most important biological components of the soil ecosystem. They play an important role in organic matter decom- position and nutrient cycling12. For instance, the hydroxylases (e.g. urease and sucrase etc.) can hydrolyze the macromolecules, such as proteins ...
1. Besides the changes in soil structure, compaction reduces soil pore space and increases soil strength while decreasing root growth and root elongation rate, which results in reduced water and nutrient uptake by crops (Nawaz et al., 2013; Sadras et al., 2016; Colombi & Keller, 2019). ...
