Most agroecosystems receive inputs of anthropogenically derived nutrients, which impact
soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the impact of the combination of different fertilizer …

With increasing world population, there is an evident pressure on food production demand
at the expense of environment. Maximizing yields at environmental cost is quite high …

Management systems influence soil quality over time. A randomized block design in 2
(tillage system)× 3 (crop rotation) factorial arrangement was laid-out to evaluate the impact …

Proposed European policy in the agricultural sector will place higher emphasis on soil
organic carbon (SOC), both as an indicator of soil quality and as a means to offset CO2 …

Dryland areas cover about 41% of the Earth's surface and sustain over 2 billion inhabitants.
Soil carbon (C) in dryland areas is of crucial importance to maintain soil quality and …

Assessments of the global carbon (C) cycle typically rely on simplified models which
consider large areas as homogeneous in terms of the response of soils to land use or …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important C pool of the global ecosystem and is affected by
various agricultural practices including fertilization. Excessive nitrogen (N) application is an …

The soils of the Mediterranean Basin are the products of soil processes that have been
governed by a unique convergence of highly differentiated natural and anthropogenic …

Understanding the spatial distribution and mechanisms driving soil organic carbon (SOC) is
crucial for assessing soil carbon stocks and implementing effective carbon sequestration …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) management is key for soil fertility and for mitigation and
adaptation to climate change, particularly in desertification-prone areas such as …
