Soil structure affects a range of soil functions (eg, water, air, heat, and nutrient transport) and
ecosystem services (eg, production, climate regulation). Agricultural intensification is a …

Tillage intensity affects soil microbiological activity in many ways, often driven by changes in
soil organic C (SOC) content. The magnitude and direction of those changes, however …

Tillage intensity affects soil structure in many ways but the magnitude and type (+/−) of
change depends on site-specific (eg, soil type) and experimental details (crop rotation, study …

Crop production guidelines in Brazil currently focus on soil fertility or chemical indicators (ie.,
soil pH and nutrient availability) but often neglect physical and biological aspects of soil …

Occasional, strategically applied tillage within an otherwise no-till system conflicts with the
philosophical ideal of zero disturbance of soil, yet is often needed to manage soil …

Process-based modeling addressing soil tillage effect on soil hydraulic properties is scarce
since most assessments focus on static parameters (eg, bulk density, penetration resistance …

Phosphogypsum (PG) affects many soil attributes, but its long-term effects on soil structure
and physical properties remain unclear. We evaluated the residual effects of PG and …

Among the components of the chemical cocktail that contaminate the agricultural soil,
pesticides and fertilizers are the main inducers of its deterioration. Decades of intensive …

Core Ideas Liming represents a common agricultural practice for abating soil acidity. High
doses of lime on the Oxisol surface increases the electronegativity of the soil system. High …

Reducing pesticide application in agricultural land is a major challenge for the twenty-first
century. Responses of weed seed's germination and seedling's early development to …
