Long‐Term Fertilization Influences on Clay Mineral Composition and Ammonium Adsorption in a Rice Paddy SoilSoil Science Society of America Journal - Tập 72 Số 6 - Trang 1580-1590 - 2008

Increasing NH4+ adsorption can be an effective alternative in building an
available N pool in soils to optimize crop recovery and minimize losses into the
environment. We hypothesized that long‐term fertilization may change NH4+
adsorption due to changes in the chemical and mineralogical properties of a rice
(Oryza sativa L.) paddy soil. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine

Diagnosing Nutritional Status of Containerized Tree Seedlings: Comparative Plant AnalysesSoil Science Society of America Journal - Tập 51 Số 4 - Trang 1082-1086 - 1987
V. R. Timmer, G. Armstrong
AbstractContainerized red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) seedlings were fertilized
to test the effectiveness of three approaches (critical levels, optimal ratios,
and vector analysis) to diagnose seedling nutrient status. Treatments involved a
balanced nutrient solution and six imbalanced solutions lacking (−) or enriched
(+) with N, P, or K applied to seedlings raised in peat‐filled paperpots. Growth... hiện toàn bộ
Equations for Predicting Soil Organic Carbon Using Loss‐on‐Ignition for North Central U.S. SoilsSoil Science Society of America Journal - Tập 66 Số 6 - Trang 1878-1881 - 2002
Michael E. Konen, Peter Martin Jacobs, C. Lee Burras, Brandi J. Talaga, Joseph A. Mason
Samples of 255 noncalcareous A, Ap, and AB horizons from selected major land
resource areas (MLRA) in the north central USA were used to develop equations
for predicting organic C content, as determined with a Leco C analyzer, from
weight loss‐on‐ignition (LOI). Organic C concentrations of the samples ranged
from 1.09 to 114.6 g kg−1 Within each MLRA, strong linear relationships were
observed betw... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of Water Content‐Pressure Head Data Obtained by Equilibrium, Steady‐State, and Unsteady‐State MethodsSoil Science Society of America Journal - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 312-314 - 1967
G. C. Topp, A. Klute, D. B. Peters
AbstractThe water content‐pressure head relationship for a small, well‐confined,
rectangular sample of fine sand was obtained under different water flow
conditions. Water contents were measured by a gamma system and pressure heads
were measured by a tensiometer‐pressure transducer combination. During drying,
more water was retained in the sand at a given pressure head in the unsteady
flow case tha... hiện toàn bộ
Aggregation and Soil Organic Matter Accumulation in Cultivated and Native Grassland SoilsSoil Science Society of America Journal - Tập 62 Số 5 - Trang 1367-1377 - 1998

AbstractTillage intensity affects soil structure and the loss of soil organic C
and N. We hypothesized that no‐tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT)
differentially affect three physically defined particulate organic matter (POM)
fractions. A grassland‐derived Haplustoll was separated into aggregates by wet
sieving. Free light fraction (LF) and intra‐aggregate POM (iPOM) were isolated.

Alternative Methods for Measuring Inorganic, Organic, and Total Dissolved Nitrogen in SoilSoil Science Society of America Journal - Tập 74 Số 3 - Trang 1018-1027 - 2010
Rebecca Hood‐Nowotny, Nina Hinko‐Najera, Erich Inselsbacher, Petra Lachouani, Wolfgang Wanek
There are numerous methods for measuring inorganic, dissolved organic, and
microbial N in soils, although many of these are complex or require expensive
equipment. We have modified methods for the measurement of NH4+, NO3−, total
dissolved N (TDN), and soil microbial biomass N (SMBN) in soils. The methods are
based on a microtiter plate format and are rapid and simple to perform. Ammonium

Assessing the Reliability of Permanganate‐Oxidizable Carbon as an Index of Soil Labile CarbonSoil Science Society of America Journal - Tập 68 Số 3 - Trang 969-978 - 2004
Agnes Tirol‐Padre, J. K. Ladha
Soil C oxidized by neutral KMnO4, or permanganate‐oxidizable C (POC), has been
used as an index of labile C by several workers, although the nature of organic
C (OC) oxidized has not been well elucidated. This study aimed to determine the
reactivity of diverse organic compounds found in the soil with KMnO4 to judge
the reliability of POC as an index of labile C. Sugars, amino acids, and other
orga... hiện toàn bộ
