The soil microhabitat is a heterogeneous and complex environment where local variations
can modulate phenomena observed at the plot scale. Most of the current methods used to …

Purpose Soil is the crucial biological sink of methane, which is an important and potent
greenhouse gas. The extensive biochar application in soil has also aroused interests in its …

Biochar and dung amendments have been extensively employed in soil remediation and
fertilization of grasslands, which are the largest terrestrial sinks for methane. However, how …

Ecological degradation impedes sustainable development in Southwest China, and artificial
afforestation has been a key strategy of the Government of China to effectively curb it …

Positive relationships between biodiversity functioning have been found in communities of
plants but also of soil microbes. The beneficial effects of diversity are thought to be driven by …

Soil gas fluxes depend on soil gas concentrations and physical properties of a soil. Taking
soil samples for physical analysis into the laboratory strongly modifies soil gas …

Investigating responses of soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to vegetation restoration is
important for global warming mitigation. On the Loess Plateau, a wide range of vegetation …

The amendment of sandy Haplic Arenosol and clayey loam Gleyic Fluvisol with two rates of
biochar derived from the slow pyrolysis of wood feedstock was evaluated under anaerobic …

Soil-to-atmosphere methane (CH4) fluxes are dependent on opposing microbial processes
of production and consumption. Here we use a soil–vegetation gradient in an Australian sub …

En raison de la distribution spatiale hétérogène des micro-organismes et des substrats dans
le sol et de l'accessibilité restreinte, la biodégradation se produit principalement dans des …
