Since many processes in soil are highly sensitive to soil structure, this review intends to
evaluate the potential of observable soil structural attributes to be used in the assessment of …

Trophic interactions play a vital role in soil functioning and are increasingly considered as
important drivers of the soil microbiome and biogeochemical cycles. In the last decade …

The stability of biochar in soils is the cornerstone of the burgeoning worldwide interest in the
potential of the pyrolysis/biochar platform for carbon (C) sequestration. While biochar is …

Biochar produced during pyrolysis of biomass has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions from soils. In order to evaluate the effect of four different biochar additions …

We present a conceptual model of the processes by which plant leaf and root litter is
transformed to soil organic C and CO2. Stabilization of a portion of the litter C yields material …

Application of organic soil amendments is a traditional control method for plant–parasitic
nematodes and it is considered a part of nematode-management programs. A variety of …

Because of their ability to transform atmospheric N2 into ammonia that can be used by the
plant, researchers were originally very optimistic about the potential of associative …

Our 1988 paper, describing the effects of cultivation on microbial biomass and activity in
different aggregate size classes, brought together the 'aggregate hierarchy theory'and the …

This review reveals that crop residues of common cultivated crops are an important resource
not only as a source of significant quantities of nutrients for crop production but also affecting …

Global environmental changes are expected to impact the abundance of plants and animals
aboveground, but comparably little is known about the responses of belowground …
