Sandy soils are widely distributed across the world. Due to the growing global population
and urbanization, these soils are increasingly used to provide food, feed, fiber, energy, and …

Biochar can play a key role in nutrient cycling, potentially affecting nitrogen retention when
applied to soils. In this project, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the …

Limes as a fruit crop are of great economic importance, key to Asian and South American
cuisines and cultivated in nearly all tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Demand for …

Elevated levels of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) in the surficial aquifer above the drinking water
quality standard, ie maximum contaminant limit (MCL; 10mgL− 1), have been reported in …

Nutritional status in citrus plants, which is used as a guide for fertilisation, is normally
determined by chemical analysis of leaves. According to standardised procedures, this is a …

Nitrogen leaching from agricultural soils is a major source of pollution for adjacent water
systems. Biochar application to agricultural soils was reported to manageably reduce N …

Water and nitrogen (N) are two key limiting factors for citrus production. Reported effects of
water and N inputs on citrus yield, water use efficiency (WUE) and N use efficiency (NUE) …

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) recently discovered in agroecosystems have the potential to
enrich soil moisture and nitrogen (N) concentrations and structure the subsurface …

Understanding the fate of nitrogen (N) in agricultural soils as affected by crop N uptake is
important in order to develop management practices that maximize nitrogen uptake …

Soils in central Florida citrus production region are very sandy, hence are vulnerable to
leaching of soluble nutrients and chemicals. The objective of this study was to develop …
