AbstractProkaryotes play crucial roles in the rehabilitation process to restore the ecological integrity of disturbed areas. This work reports on the profiles of N‐fixing microorganisms and Actinobacteria, from DGGE, the prokaryotic composition from next‐generation sequencing (NGS) and physicochemical soil characteristics. We compared a deactivated mining site wher...... hiện toàn bộ
Sediment and phosphorus loss in runoff from an agroforestry catchment, NW SpainLand Degradation and Development - Tập 21 Số 2 - Trang 161-170 - 2010
M. L. Rodríguez‐Blanco, M. M. Taboada‐Castro, M.T. Taboada-Castro
AbstractThis study was conducted to evaluate the factors controlling sediment and phosphorus export in a small agroforestry catchment located in NW Spain. At the catchment outlet discharge was continuously measured and suspended sediment (SS) and total (PT), particulate phosphorus (PP) and dissolved phosphorus (DP) were determined during seven rainfall events occur...... hiện toàn bộ
Long‐Term Changes in Soil Carbon Stocks in the Brazilian Cerrado Under Commercial SoybeanLand Degradation and Development - Tập 27 Số 6 - Trang 1586-1594 - 2016

AbstractThe net effect of agriculture on soil carbon is not yet fully understood. While a number of studies on shallow profiles have been published, evidence suggests that carbon stock changes occur in deeper layers. In this study we analyzed the effect of agriculture in the Cerrado soil C looking at changes in seven different profile depths from 0 to 100 cm in a c...... hiện toàn bộ
Phosphorus and mowing improve native alfalfa establishment, facilitating restoration of grassland productivity and diversityLand Degradation and Development - Tập 30 Số 6 - Trang 647-657 - 2019

AbstractSeeding legumes into degraded grasslands may effectively replace nitrogen fertilization and restore ecosystem stability by retaining or increasing native plant species diversity while increasing forage production. However, previous research indicated limited legume persistence and potential plant community diversity loss following seeding of legumes into gr...... hiện toàn bộ
Sequestering carbon in soils of arid ecosystemsLand Degradation and Development - Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 441-454 - 2009

AbstractRecent increase in atmospheric concentration of CO2 and decrease in land‐based sink capacity are attributed to numerous anthropogenic activities including increase in severity and extent of soil degradation and desertification. There is a strong link between desertification and global warming with positive feedback of mutual reinforceme...... hiện toàn bộ
Organic Carbon Dynamics in Different Soil Types After Conversion of Forest to AgricultureLand Degradation and Development - Tập 26 Số 3 - Trang 272-283 - 2015

AbstractState‐of‐the‐art predictive models of soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics associated with land use changes are unable to reflect the diversity of tropical soil types as the knowledge of contrasting site‐specific factors in mediating the response of the SOC pool is sparse. This paper examines the influence of soil type and management on SOC dynamics following...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of Tillage Methods on Soil Carbon and Wind ErosionLand Degradation and Development - Tập 27 Số 3 - Trang 583-591 - 2016

AbstractCurrent interest in soil‐conserving tillage in China has developed from the concern that Chinese agricultural land loses 73·8 Mg C annually. Previous research has shown that changing from conventional tillage to conservation tillage field management increases soil C sequestration. The aim of this study is to determine if no tillage with stubble retention ca...... hiện toàn bộ
Carbon Depletion by Plowing and its Restoration by No‐Till Cropping Systems in Oxisols of Subtropical and Tropical Agro‐Ecoregions in BrazilLand Degradation and Development - Tập 26 Số 6 - Trang 531-543 - 2015

AbstractThe continuous use of plowing for grain production has been the principal cause of soil degradation. This project was formulated on the hypothesis that the intensification of cropping systems by increasing biomass‐C input and its biodiversity under no‐till (NT) drives soil restoration of degraded agro‐ecosystem. The present study conducted at subtropical [P...... hiện toàn bộ
Carbon Sequestration in Restored Soils by Applying Organic AmendmentsLand Degradation and Development - Tập 27 Số 3 - Trang 620-629 - 2016

AbstractThe study of different natural carbon sinks has become especially important because of climate change effects. The restoration of contaminated areas can be an ideal strategy for carbon sequestration. The studied area was affected by toxic Aznalcóllar mine spill in 1998. Restoration process of the contaminated area was based, mainly, on the use of two organi...... hiện toàn bộ
