The carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles play an important role in agro-ecosystems. The
interaction of both elements is a complex process, ie, high soil organic carbon (SOC) and …

Long-term heavy application of inorganic fertilizers is associated with a decrease in soil
quality and biodiversity. Organic amendments have been reported to positively affect soil …

Global demand for biofuels has risen sharply over the last decade, driven initially by oil price
hikes and the need for greater energy security. Support measures were established in many …

Here, we report on a two-years field experiment aimed at the quantification of the emissions
of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) from the dominant wheat–maize double cropping …

Cereal production systems in the Eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains (E-IGP) are traditional, with
low yield and low farm income, and they have largely missed out on the benefits of the …

In agricultural cropping systems, crop residues are sources of organic carbon (C), an
important factor influencing denitrification. The effects of red clover, soybean, and barley …

The expansion of the agriculture has become the main agent of disturbance in the Amazon
region, and such alteration has consequences on soil microbial communities, which …

The long term effect of biochar application on soil microbial biomass is not well understood.
We measured soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and nitrogen (MBN) in a field …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were used as inoculants of cereal crops to
improve their growth and grain yield. The crops responses to inoculation are complex …

Crop residues with high C/N ratio immobilize N released during decomposition in soil, thus
reducing N losses through leaching, denitrification, and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emission. A …
