The degree of soil compaction is affected not only by the agricultural machinery but also by
the soil physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. We hypothesized that the changes in …

The application of compost has been recognized as one of the most promising approaches
for preserving soil quality and crop production. The present study exhaustively investigates …

Soil bulk density is a basic but important physic soil property related to soil porosity, soil
moisture and hydraulic conductivity, which is crucial to soil quality assessment and land use …

The wood of dead trees is an essential element of the forest ecosystem, as it affects the
characteristics of forest soil properties. The present study aimed to determine the influence …

Natural and human activities have deteriorated urban soil's health and ecological functions
as compared to forest soils. Therefore, we hypothesized that any intervention in poor quality …

Karst forests are often located in mountainous regions, and because of various geological
factors both soil and water loss are major conservation concerns. We investigated the water …

As European forests face increasing threats from climate change and disturbances,
diversifying tree species can be a crucial strategy to safeguard their ecological functions and …

Bulk density (ρ b), a soil physical property critical for estimating soil carbon storing
potentials, is often under-reported in many tropical soil databases because of the difficulty …

Nitrogen production is one of the major aspects of global change over the past century.
Nowhere is this change more dramatic than in China. Understanding the variations and …

The hydrological connectivity of hillslope-riparian-stream (HRS) continuums is crucial for
runoff generation and solute transport. The achievement of water resource protection and …
