Four biochar types, produced by slow pyrolysis of poultry litter (PL) and pine chips (P) at 400
or 500° C, were added to two adjacent soils with contrasting soil organic matter (SOM) …

Los ciclos biogeoquímicos del fósforo (P) y del nitrógeno (N) son sistemas dinámicos que
suceden a través de la biosfera, de cuyos mecanismos de transformación depende la …

Understanding the turnover of organic matter (OM) in soils necessitates information on
biological stability and ecological functions. For easy characterization of slowly cycling OM …

This study was aimed to evaluate the role of minerals in the preservation of organic carbon
(OC) in different soil types. Sequential density fractionation was done to isolate particulate …

Soil nitrogen mineralization rate (SNMR) influences crop N uptake and nitrate leaching
leading to environmental pollution. This study aims at (i) examining whether visible and near …

Aims Substantial amounts of VFG-compost are produced annually in Flanders. Our objective
was to analyse the effects of VFG-compost applications in a common crop rotation. Methods …

Improving nitrogen (N) fertilizer‐use efficiency (NfUE) in temperate grassland soils is
important for agronomic and environmental sustainability. Nitrogen supplied from soil N …

Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization rates from different agricultural regions in California were
determined and related to soil properties. Undisturbed soil cores were sampled in spring …

The effect of soil organic matter (SOM) on sorptive parameters under different soil
management practices in Rendzic Leptosol was studied. In 2006, an experiment of different …

Improving the assessment and prediction of soil organic nitrogen (N) mineralization is
essential: it contributes significantly to the N nutrition of crops and remains a major economic …
