Soil quality in agricultural terms is measured on a scale of soil value (Bodenwertzahl) in Germany. [6] Soil quality is primarily measured by chemical, physical, and biological indicators because soil function cannot easily be measured directly. [7] Each of these categories comprises several indicators that provide insight into overall soil ...
Soil represents one of the largest C sinks on Earth and is significant in the global carbon cycle and, therefore, for climate change mitigation. [6] Therefore, SOM/SOC dynamics and the capacity of soils to provide the ecosystem service of carbon sequestration through SOM management have received considerable attention.
Soil wetting and drying cycles can have both a beneficial effect on soil aggregation, [18] [19] and a negative effect on soil aggregation. [20] [21] To help explain these contradictory results, it was hypothesized that soils will maintain a state of aggregate stability equilibrium. If soils have certain properties, a threshold level will be ...
Recycling in natural systems is one of the many ecosystem services that sustain and contribute to the well-being of human societies. [2] [3] [4] There is much overlap between the terms for the biogeochemical cycle and nutrient cycle. Most textbooks integrate the two and seem to treat them as synonymous terms. [5]
Soil microbial communities experience shifts in the diversity and composition during dehydration and rehydration cycles. [5] Soil moisture affects carbon cycling a phenomenon known as Birch effect. [6] [7] Temperature variations in soil are influenced by factors such as seasonality, environmental conditions, vegetation, and soil composition.
Days before he retires as chairman of the influential U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Democrat Ben Cardin acknowledged worries about human rights being less of a U.S. priority during ...
(The Center Square) – Keeping track of homeless sex offenders is becoming a tougher task for law enforcement officials, says a report by the Florida Legislature's research arm. The report by the ...
Chopra says Rodgers was immediately “really trusting” with him and Hughes, adding that throughout their year working together on the documentary, Rodgers “was very open and vulnerable.”
