Determining soil carbon (C) with high precision is an essential requisite for the success of
the terrestrial C sequestration program. The informed choice of management practices for …

Careful nutrient management to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) content is important in
increasing agricultural productivity and maintaining ecosystem health. A field experiment …

In regions characterized by arid seasons, such as the Mediterranean basin, soil moisture is
a major driver of ecosystem CO2 efflux during periods of drought stress. Here, a rain event …

Organic and conventional farming practices differ in the use of several management
strategies, including use of catch crops, green manure, and fertilization, which may influence …

In the world practice, the organic carbon content (Corg) in the soils containing carbonates is
measured in different ways. We have analyzed the methods for solving this problem …

Soil erosion is among the major processes that threaten agricultural soils, causing soil and
organic matter losses, loss of inherent fertility, and water contamination. In this context …

Mapping soil organic carbon (SOC) and establishing any change over time are important
because of CO2 fluxes between soil and atmosphere and cropland decreases in SOC. The …

During primary colonization of rock substrates by plants, mineral weathering is strongly
accelerated under plant roots, but little is known on how it affects soil ecosystem …

This study investigated the suitability of mid‐infrared diffuse reflectance Fourier transform
(MIR‐DRIFT) spectroscopy, with partial least squares (PLS) regression, for the determination …

We tested the “home-field advantage” hypothesis, ie., that leaves decay faster under the
parent tree species in European beech, Douglas fir, and Turkey oak stands in a mountain …
