Soil health indicators are a composite set of measurable physical, chemical and biological
attributes which relate to functional soil processes and can be used to evaluate soil health …

In this paper we provide support for the hypothesis that trees and fungi modify their physical
environment in acidic forest soils by actively translocating metal cations from the mineral to …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Forest biogeochemical cycles are shaped by effects of dominant tree species on soils, but
the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. We investigated effects of temperate …

The response to climate change through soil organic carbon sequestration has received
increased interest. While soil organic carbon sequestration is related to the stability of …

Elevated anthropogenic acid deposition has accelerated forest soil acidification in southern
China. However, the observed responses to increased acid inputs are quite variable among …

Soil organic matter (SOM) in forest soil is of major importance for cation binding and acid
buffering, but its characteristics may differ among soils under different tree species. We …

Background Overyielding (ie, mixtures of crops yielding higher than expected when
compared with monocultures) and increased nutrient acquisition have been found in many …

Pedogenic thresholds occur where soil properties change abruptly and/or nonlinearly with a
small increment in environmental forcing; soil process domains are the regions between …

The boreal ecoregion supports about one-third of the world's forest. Over 90% of boreal
forest streams are found in headwaters, where terrestrial–aquatic interfaces are dominated …
