Resilient, productive soils are necessary to sustainably intensify agriculture to increase
yields while minimizing environmental harm. To conserve and regenerate productive soils …

Permanganate oxidizable C (POXC; ie, active C) is a relatively new method that can quantify
labile soil C rapidly and inexpensively. Despite limited reports of positive correlations with …

Soil organic carbon plays an important role in the stability and fertility of soil and is
influenced by different management practice. We quantified active and passive carbon pools …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and its labile fractions are strong determinants of chemical,
physical, and biological properties, and soil quality. Thus, a 15-year experiment was …

Crop straw return is recommended as an effective management practice to alter soil organic
carbon (C) content. Understanding the effects of straw return rate on changes of soil organic …

The Loess Plateau in northwest China is one of the most eroded landscapes in the world,
and it is urgent that alternative practices be evaluated to control soil erosion. Our objective …

Abstract Soil from the Loess Plateau of China is typically low in organic carbon and
generally has poor aggregate stability. Application of organic amendments to these soils …

No início da década de1990, a comunidade científica, consciente da importância do solo
para a qualidade ambiental e para a sustentabilidade agrícola, iniciou a abordagem sobre …

The return of straw to soil can help closing the nutrient cycle in agricultural ecosystems and
is an effective means of improving the physical and chemical properties of soil. The objective …

Planting rice is one of the effective ways to improve saline soils, but the underlying
mechanisms are unknown. We studied basic soil properties (including pH, salt content, total …
