Multiscale characterization of splays produced by a historic, rain-on-snow flood on a large braided stream (Platte River...
Maintaining grain yield of Th. intermedium across stand age through constant spike fertility and spike density: Understa...
peer reviewed / Thinopyrum intermedium subsp. intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey is a perennial grass proposed as a dual-use crop for both forage and grain. Being in the nascent stage of domestication, its grain yield potential is still low compared to annual counterparts. The understanding of Th. intermedium development and the resulting gr...
The biological controls of soil carbon accumulation following wildfire and harvest in boreal forests : a review
...
Boreal forests are frequently subjected to disturbances, including wildfire and clear-cutting. While these disturbances can cause soil carbon (C) losses, the long-term accumulation dynamics of soil C stocks during subsequent stand development is controlled by biological processes related to the balance of net primary production (NPP) and outputs vi...
Joint interpretation of ERT and Self-Potential data to characterize the subsurface geology and hydrodynamics along the S...
Leveraging high resolution classifications and random forests for hindcasting decades of mesic ecosystem dynamics in the...
Does poly-3-hydroxybutyrate biodegradation affect the quality of soil organic matter?
...
The search for eco-friendly substitutes for traditional plastics has led to the production of biodegradable bioplastics. However, concerns have been raised about the impact of bioplastic biodegradation on soil health. Despite these concerns, the potential negative consequences of bioplastics during various stages of biodegradation remain underexplo...
Exploratory assessment of the SLAKES method to characterize aggregate stability across diverse soil types
Classical soil aggregate stability (AS) methods lack standardized protocols and require long measurement times. However, the fairly new SLAKES method purportedly allows for rapid AS estimation with minimal technical equipment. SLAKES has been tested on fine-textured soils but its suitability for other soil types is unknown. This study investigated ...
Soil type and temperature determine soil respiration seasonal dynamics in dairy grassland
Soil respiration rates (Rs) were measured in New Zealand dairy grassland. Both season and soil type significantly affected Rs. Soil temperature and soil type dominated overall Rs. Soil respiration (Rs), the CO2 release from root respiration and microbial metabolism, affects global soil carbon storage and cycling. Only few studies have looked at Rs ...
Long-term application of FYM and fertilizer N improve soil fertility and enzyme activity in 51st wheat cycle under pearl...
Our study from an ongoing research experiment initiated in Rabi 1967 at the Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Haryana, India, reports that during the 51st wheat cycle in pearl millet-wheat sequence, adding FYM in both seasons significantly impacted various soil parameters at different wheat growth stages compared to the rabi sea...
Long-term application of agronomic management strategies effects on soil organic carbon, energy budgeting, and carbon fo...
In the plains of western North India, traditional rice and wheat cropping systems (RWCS) consume a significant amount of energy and carbon. In order to assess the long-term energy budgets, ecological footprint, and greenhouse gas (GHG) pollutants from RWCS with residual management techniques, field research was conducted which consisted of fourteen...
