Biochar has unveiled a new avenue for carbon (C) sequestration and has shown the
potential to increase agricultural productivity. Although there is still debate about the …

Vibrational spectroscopy techniques provide a powerful approach to the study of
environmental materials and processes. These multifunctional analytical tools can be used …

The effects of 4 years of combined application of mineral fertilizer with a variety of organic
materials on soil humus carbon fractions were evaluated in a low-fertility paddy soil. Five …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a key role in regulating soil quality functions and ecosystem
services. The objective of our study was to evaluate the impact of deforestation and …

Purpose Humic substances, which are integral components of total organic carbon (TOC),
influence soil quality. The study aimed to investigate whether humic and non-humic fractions …

Large-scale road construction has resulted in bare cut slopes in alpine areas, leading to soil
erosion and reduced fertility. Soil humus is the basis of soil fertility and an important carbon …

Soil salinization is an important factor contributing to the deterioration of soil environment
and low crop yield in arable land. In this study, the effects of five fulvic acid applications (0 …

Although many reforestation projects have attempted to mitigate deforestation in the
Philippines, most have focused on planting introduced trees, often with low success rates. A …

The effects of combined agronomic application of olive mill wastewater (OMW) with compost
were evaluated in an olive field (Tunisia). Four treatments were used. The first plot was …

Crop yield is directly influenced by the storage and stabilisation of soil organic carbon
(SOC), which is determined by the hydrophobicity of soil humic acid (HA). Changes in soil …
