Spatial variation of ammonia volatilization from soil and its scale‐dependent correlation with soil propertiesEuropean Journal of Soil Science - Tập 59 Số 6 - Trang 1260-1270 - 2008
Ron Corstanje, G. J. D. Kirk, Mark Pawlett, R. F. J. Read, R. M. Lark
SummaryQuantitative predictions of ammonia volatilization from soil are useful
to environmental managers and policy makers and empirical models have been used
with some success. Spatial analysis of the soil properties and their
relationship to the ammonia volatilization process is important as predictions
will be required at disparate scales from the field to the catchment and beyond.

Negative priming of native soil organic carbon mineralization by oilseed biochars of contrasting qualityEuropean Journal of Soil Science - Tập 66 Số 4 - Trang 714-721 - 2015
Tatiana Rittl, E. H. Novotny, Fabiano de Carvalho Balieiro, Ellis Hoffland, Bruno José Rodrígues Alves, Thomas W. Kuyper
SummaryOilseed‐derived biochar, a by‐product of pyrolysis for biodiesel
production, is richer in aliphatic compounds than the commonly studied
wood‐derived biochar, affecting both its mineralization in soil and its
interaction with native soil organic carbon (nSOC). Here, we investigated the
soil C sequestration potential of three different oilseed biochars derived from
C3 plant material: soyabean... hiện toàn bộ
Biochar carbon stability in four contrasting soilsEuropean Journal of Soil Science - Tập 65 Số 1 - Trang 60-71 - 2014
Yunying Fang, Balwant Singh, Bhupinder Pal Singh, Evelyn S. Krull
SummaryThere is a limited understanding of the effects of soil properties on
biochar carbon (C) stability. This knowledge is essential to evaluate the
capacity of biochar for long‐term soil C sequestration fully. In this study two
biochars, produced by slow pyrolysis at 450 or 550°C from a δ13C‐depleted
(−36.4‰) Eucalyptus saligna Sm. woody material, were incubated in four soils

A review of the abundance, behaviour and detection of clostridial pathogens in agricultural soilsEuropean Journal of Soil Science - Tập 70 Số 4 - Trang 911-929 - 2019
Joseph Samuel Palmer, Rupert Hough, Helen West, Lisa M. Avery
AbstractThe soil is a reservoir for various clostridial pathogens, with
agricultural soils representing a major source of contamination for overlying
crops and grazing livestock. Understanding the prevalence and behaviour of
pathogens in these soils is fundamental to ascertaining and mitigating the risk
of disease from agroecosystems. This article reviews research pertaining to the
overall distrib... hiện toàn bộ
Carbon dioxide emissions from biochar in soil: role of clay, microorganisms and carbonatesEuropean Journal of Soil Science - Tập 65 Số 1 - Trang 52-59 - 2014

SummaryThe stability of biochar in soil is of importance if it is to be used for
carbon sequestration and long‐term improvement of soil properties. It is well
known that a significant fraction of biochar is highly stable in soil, but
carbon dioxide (CO2) is also released immediately after application. This study
investigated the nature of the early release of CO2 and the degree to which
stabilizin... hiện toàn bộ
Uncertainty analysis for pedotransfer functionsEuropean Journal of Soil Science - Tập 53 Số 3 - Trang 417-429 - 2002
Budiman Minasny, A. B. Mc Bratney
SummaryBoth empirical and process‐simulation models are useful in predicting the
outcome of agricultural management on soil quality and vice versa, and
pedotransfer functions have been developed to translate readily available soil
information into variables that are needed in the models. The input data are
subject to error, and consequently the transfer functions can produce varied
outputs. A gene... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of compaction on the porosity of a silty soil: influence on unsaturated hydraulic propertiesEuropean Journal of Soil Science - Tập 52 Số 1 - Trang 49-58 - 2001
Guy Richard, Isabelle Cousin, J.F. Sillon, Ary Bruand, Jérôme Guerif
SummaryTillage and traffic modify soil porosity and pore size distribution,
leading to changes in the unsaturated hydraulic properties of the tilled layer.
These changes are still difficult to characterize. We have investigated the
effect of compaction on the change in the soil porosity and its consequences for
water retention and hydraulic conductivity. A freshly tilled layer and a soil
layer com... hiện toàn bộ
Application of X‐ray tomography to quantify macropore characteristics of loess soil under two perennial plantsEuropean Journal of Soil Science - Tập 67 Số 3 - Trang 266-275 - 2016
T. C. Li, M. A. Shao, Yuhua Jia
SummaryWith the advent of large‐scale restoration of vegetation in the Loess
Plateau, northwest China, there has been an increase in concern about the
suitability of loess soil to support permanent vegetation cover. The
quantification of soil macropore characteristics could be critical in
determining the architecture and hydrological processes of loess soil on the
plateau. In this research, we com... hiện toàn bộ
