Sandy soils cover approximately 900 million ha worldwide particularly in arid and semi-arid
regions. There are extensive areas of sandy soils under cultivation, but the soil fertility is …

Despite decades of research progress, ecologists are still debating which pools and fluxes
provide nitrogen (N) to plants and soil microbes across different ecosystems …

This paper reviews current knowledge of Eucalyptus pellita plantations to identify
management practices for optimizing productivity and maintaining sustainability in the …

We developed a microbial‐enzyme‐mediated decomposition (MEND) model, based on the
Michaelis‐Menten kinetics, that describes the dynamics of physically defined pools of soil …

To access the process of nitrogen mineralization in soil, the buried-bag technique was used
among traditional agroforestry systems in the Bhabhar belt of Kumaun Himalaya. The …

To assess the effect of long-term fertilization on labile organic matter fractions, we analyzed
the C and N mineralization and C and N content in soil, particulate organic matter (POM) …

Incorporating crop residue favors biotic and abiotic nitrogen (N) immobilization, which can
effectively conserve active N in soil. Here we summarize the occurrence characteristics of …

ABSTRACT In Sumatra and Kalimantan in Indonesia and Sabah in Malaysia, the spread of
two diseases, aggravated by damage by fauna, and by the humid tropical environment, has …

Aims We assessed the effects of native and exotic tree leaf litter on soil properties in two
contrasting scenarios. The native Quercus robur and Pinus pinaster tree species coexist with …

Afforestation of degraded pastures can potentially enhance carbon sequestration, but little is
known about the effects of eucalyptus plantations on soil organic matter (SOM) fractions. We …
