Measuring the influence of long-term agricultural tillage practices on soil organic carbon
(SOC) is of great importance to farmers and policymakers. Different management practices …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a global concern for human health and causes a decrease in crop
production and nutritional characteristics. A two-year field study was planned to evaluate …

Continuous cultivation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in monoculture systems represents
the greatest factor deteriorating soil organic matter (SOM) in smallholder farms. With an aim …

Straw removal for bioelectricity, cellulosic ethanol, or other bio-products has become a
common practice in Brazilian sugarcane areas, but long-term effects on soil organic carbon …

Soil carbon is an essential component that influences soil health and agronomic
productivity, and land-use practices significantly impact soil carbon stocks. In this study, the …

Soil organic matter (SOM), soil aggregates, and soil microbes play key roles in agriculture
soil fertility. In intercropping systems, the influences of straw incorporation and N input on the …

Soil tillage can affect the stability and formation of soil aggregates by disrupting soil
structure. Frequent tillage deteriorates soil structure and weakens soil aggregates, causing …

Returning residue to soils is not only an effective nutrient management method, but also can
reduce the air pollution caused by residue burning, which has become an important factor in …

Soil management approaches have been advocated to modify the soil fertility parameters for
higher agricultural production through different land systems. The present review examines …

Soil is the largest organic carbon (C) pool of terrestrial ecosystems, and C loss from soil
accounts for a large proportion of land-atmosphere C exchange. Therefore, soil organic …
