Decomposition of soil organic matter as affected by clay types, pedogenic oxides and plant residue addition rates
The interactive effects of the types and contents of soil clay fractions (SCFs) and plant-
residue addition rates on soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilisation are largely unknown. We …

[HTML][HTML] The mitigation of phosphorus losses from a water-repellent soil used for grazed dairy farming
RW McDowell, W Catto, NLS McDowell - Geoderma, 2020 - Elsevier
Phosphorus (P) losses via surface runoff can be large. Soil water repellency (SWR) occurs
in warm and dry conditions. If SWR coincides with P fertiliser applications, the risk of P loss …
