Abstract:

The GeoWEPP model has estimated water and soil losses caused by erosion at the watershed level in different parts of the world. However, this model was developed and its parameters have been adjusted for temperate climates, which are different from tropical climates such as those found in Brazil. Our study evaluated the performance of the GeoWEPP model in estimating soil erosion in three micro-watersheds in the Cerrado (i.e., savannah) of southeastern Mato Grosso state, Brazil. Major land uses modeled were soybean and corn cultivation, traditional pasture, and native vegetation. Input paramete

Abstract:

Red soil is widely distributed in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia (approximately between the 30° S and 30° N latitudes). These soils are typically formed by the weathering of carbonate or other rocks rich in iron and aluminium oxides in hot-humid climates and susceptible to a large reduction in disintegration upon wetting or other conditions. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review on the red soil disintegration mechanism and intergranular suction with reference to red soil. The present paper reviews the research progress that has been made regarding the disintegration character

Abstract:

Intercropping systems could be a potential source of nutrient-rich forage production in cool climates on podzolic soils common in boreal ecosystems. In this study, we evaluated the effects of corn–soybean intercropping (IC) on the nutritional quality of forage. Two silage corn varieties were cultivated as monocropping (MC) or were intercropped with three forage soybean varieties using a randomized complete block design. IC significantly increased the crude protein (22%) and decreased the acid detergent (14%) and neutral detergent (6%) fibers. Forage net energy, total digestible nutrients, ash,

Abstract. Soil organic matter (SOM) forms the largest terrestrial pool of carbon outside of sedimentary rocks. Radiocarbon is a powerful tool for assessing soil organic matter dynamics. However, due to the nature of the measurement, extensive 14C studies of soil systems remain relatively rare. In particular, information on the extent of spatial and temporal variability in 14C contents of soils is limited, yet this information is crucial for establishing the range of baseline properties and for detecting potential modifications to the SOM pool.

Abstract:

A passive rainwater harvesting technique was used to design a sustainable landscape for a residential lot located in the desert. The design was adapted to the Desert Southwest region of the United States based on thirty years of daily historical climate data including precipitation and reference evapotranspiration (ET0). Four cities including El Paso, TX, Albuquerque, NM, Phoenix, AZ, and Pahrump, NV, were selected to represent the area. The residential lot was broken up into micro-watersheds reflecting the runoff of water from each separate portion of the house roof, driveway, and lawn area.

Abstract Eucalypts are likely to play a critical role in the response of Australian forests to rising atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) and temperature. Although eucalypts are frequently phosphorus (P) limited in native soils, few studies have examined the main and interactive effects of P availability, [CO2] and temperature on eucalypt morphology, physiology and anatomy. To address this issue, we grew seedlings of Eucalyptus tereticornis Smith across its P-responsive range (6–500 mg kg−1) for 120 days under two [CO2] (ambient: 400 μmol mol−1 (Ca) and elevated: 640 μmol mol−1 (Ce)) and two

In Tunisia, climate change impacts that lead to the degradation of soil resources are considered to be a major limiting factor on socio-economic development. These impacts are exacerbated by the intensive plowing and cultivation practices used by Tunisian farmers, which expedite the depletion of soil organic matter (SOM), leading to changes in the physio-chemical properties of soil and consequently promoting soil erosion. In fact, the decrease in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks affects soil’s fertility and the ability to regulate climate change. The objective of this study, which was conducte

Abstract In efforts to increase the production of shrubs pepper with good quality, it is necessary to engineer the physical environment, especially the microclimate and the provision of organic matter to produce quality pepper plants. Weather or climate is a factor that affects plant growth and development. Microclimate includes light intensity, temperature, and humidity. Microclimate modification is changing the environment from unsuitable to suitable. Microclimate modifications include: using shade and giving organic matter can improve soil properties such as texture, moisture and soil tempe

Abstract. Vineyards in the Azores have been traditionally settled on lava field terroirs but the practical limitations of mechanization and high demand on man labor imposed by the typical micro parcel structure of these vineyards contradict the sustainability of these areas for wine production, except under government policies of heavy financial support. Besides the traditional vineyards there are significant areas in some of the islands whose soils, climate and physiographic characteristics suggest a potential for wine production that deserves to be the object of an assessment, with a view to

Abstract:

As a vital component of the global carbon pool, soils in arid and semi-arid regions play a significant role in carbon sequestration. In the context of global warming, increasing temperatures and moisture levels promote the transformation of barren land into wetlands, enhancing carbon sinks. However, the overdevelopment of oases and excessive extraction of groundwater lead to the opposite effect, reducing carbon sequestration. This study examines two soil types—meadow soil (MS) and swamp soil (SS)—from Qingtu Lake, an arid lake in western China. It analyzes the sources of soil inorganic carbon,

The exposure of ‘new’ soil is particularly apparent at high elevations (5000 metres above sea level) in the Peruvian Andes, where extreme environmental conditions hinder plant colonization. Nonetheless, these seemingly barren soils contain a diverse microbial community; yet the biogeochemical role of micro-organisms at these extreme elevations remains unknown.
