The flow of chemical materials along spatial elements is a fundamental aspect of landscape
ecology. The research renders indicators for water pollution, which are utile for functional …

Although biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) is an important N input process in subtropical
forest ecosystems, how the diazotrophic communities related to this process respond to N …

BACKGROUND Crop residue management and nitrogen loss are two important
environmental problems in the rice–wheat rotation system in China. This study investigated …

Biological input of nitrogen (N) from the atmosphere by free-living diazotrophs can help
alleviate fertilizer use in agricultural systems. In this study, we investigated the effect of N …

Ditch-buried straw return (DBSR) is a novel farming system that not only efficiently
eliminates the need to burn straw, but also shows positive effects on soil carbon …

Plant-derived carbon (C) is considered fundamental to understand the interaction between
rhizosphere microbes and plants in terrestrial ecosystems. Biochar soil amendment may …

This research was done to find out the effect of increasing vermicompost application on yield
of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa) plant. For this purpose Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa …

This study investigated the efficacy of organic soil amendments: bokashi (Bok), biochar (BC),
and their combination (Bok_BC) in promoting soil health, nutrient availability, and growth of …

Nutrient and water management is crucially important in shallow-rooted vegetable
production systems characterized by high input and high environmental risk. A 2-year field …

High rates of crop residue removal as biofuel feedstocks could increase losses of nonpoint
source pollutants, negatively affecting water quality. An alternative to residue removal can …
