In addition to industry, transport, and waste management, the agricultural sector is also a major emitter of CO2 emissions. This article focuses on CO2 equivalent emissions from soil in the context of mineral nitrogen fertiliser management. The methodology itself consists of several successive phases, the first of which is to determine basic statis...
Extreme meteorological phenomena resulting from climate change caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) require the implementation of CO2 mitigation practices from various industries, including agriculture. Owing to varying soil, climatic, and agrotechnical characteristics, they may have different efficiencies in mitigating soil ...
Na območju Celja smo izbrali 8 njiv, kjer je od zadnje obdelave pretekel najmanj 1 mesec. Vse vzorce tal smo odvzeli isti dan (20. 3. 2020), po krajšem obdobju suhega vremena. Vzorčili smo na njivah s poljedelskim kolobarjem, kjer je bila v jeseni 2019 posajena koruza. Glede na velikost njive smo odvzeli od 3 do 21 površinskih vzorcev tal na posame...

Background: Arable land protection is the key to guaranteeing food security in China, as well as protecting the ecological environment and ensuring the continuous increase of farmers’ income. Crop rotation is one of the many forms of arable land protection. Objectives: In this paper, we aim to estimate the possible influence of land fragmentation, ...
No-tillage (NT) has been considered an agronomic tool to sequester soil organic carbon (SOC) and match the 4p1000 initiative requirements of conservative soil management. Recently, some doubts have emerged about the NT effect on SOC sequestration, often because observations and experimental data vary widely depending on climate and geographic chara...
The assessment of the micromorphological characteristics of soils is a powerful tool for studying the transformation of soils under the influence of various weathering mechanisms (physical, biogenic). The central part of Yakutia is characterized by a large area of agricultural lands, some of which has become fallow land and is subject to cryogenic ...
Agricultural land extent and change information is needed to assess food security, the effectiveness of land use policy, and both environmental and societal impacts. This information is especially valuable in biodiversity hotspots such as the Mediterranean region, where agricultural land expansion can result in detrimental effects such as soil eros...
Throughout this paper, the theoretical concepts from the above areas were combined with the analysis and interpretation of statistical data from the same areas of interest, resulting in a detailed analysis of how the agricultural labour force influences the yields of the five most important crops in the Romanian agricultural sector, namely, wheat, ...
Detailed spatial distribution of soil organic matter (SOM) in arable land is essential for agricultural management and decision making. Based on digital soil mapping (DSM) theory, much attention has been focused on the selection of environmental covariates. However, the importance of human activity factors in SOM prediction has not received enough ...
Heavy metal pollution in soils is an issue of global concern, and many scholars have focused on Cadmium (Cd) because of its strong biological migration and toxicity. This study explored arable land soil, changes in external Cd contamination processes and its response to soil moisture conditions, and indoor simulation. After adding an external sourc...
