Crop sequence intensification: Meta‐analysis of soil organic carbon and aggregate stability in Argentina Eur. J. Soil Sci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-04-16 Emilia Giustiniani, Filipe Behrends Kraemer, Lucas A. Garibaldi
Intensification of crop sequence (ICS) has been proposed as a key field practice to preserve soil health and achieve more sustainable agricultural systems. However, the effects of ICS are site‐specific and vary according to soil characteristics, climatic conditions, the duration of the crop sequencing and the types of crop involved. Soil aggregate stability (AS) and soil organic carbon (SOC) stock

Policy measures effectively reduce soil nitrous oxide emissions with minor trade‐offs in crop yield Eur. J. Soil Sci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Cecilie Birgitte Foldal, Martina Kittinger, Edwin Haas, Sophie Zechmeister‐Boltenstern
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are closely linked to agricultural fertilisation. European and national policy incentives have been set to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; however, only a few evaluations have been conducted. Avoiding such emissions is an important climate change mitigation measure, but it is still uncertain which management measures over a long‐term, best out‐balance crop yield

Soil functioning contributes to the delivery of a vast range of ecosystem goods and services, and ecosystem health is therefore reflected by the capacity of the soil to perform underlying functions. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator for soil quality as it is an integral driver of many soil functions and associated ecosystem services. Across the globe, SOC stocks are declining due to expanding

Short‐term conservation tillage degrades soil infiltration properties in the black soil region of Northeast China Eur. J. Soil Sci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-26 Pingzong Zhu, Shiqi Chen, Chengshu Wang, Zhipeng Xu
Soil infiltration properties (SIPs) are crucial soil hydraulic parameters for hydrological and erosion models as they regulate the movement of water and nutrients within the soil. Tillage practice can significantly impact the hydrological and erosional processes of sloping farmland by changing SIPs through altering soil structure. Nevertheless, knowledge regarding the effects of short‐term conservation

The interface between plants' roots and soil is strongly affected by rhizodeposits, especially mucilage, that change mechanical and hydrological behaviour. In addition to impacts to aggregation, water capture and root penetration, rhizodeposits may also affect the pull‐out resistance of plant roots. Due to the complex architecture of plant roots and an inability to restrict rhizodeposit production

Cover crops affect pool specific soil organic carbon in cropland – A meta‐analysis Eur. J. Soil Sci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-20 Julia Fohrafellner, Katharina M. Keiblinger, Sophie Zechmeister‐Boltenstern, Rajasekaran Murugan, Heide Spiegel, Elena Valkama
Cover crops (CC) offer numerous benefits to agroecosystems, particularly in the realm of soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual and loss mitigation. However, uncertainties persist regarding the extent to which CCs, in co‐occurrence with environmental factors, influence SOC responses and associated C pools. We therefore performed a weighted meta‐analysis on the effects of CCs on the mineral‐associated organic

Most of the Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) products now available across the globe have been developed from the deposits of punctual soil observations inherited from several decades of soil survey activity. By using these legacy data as inputs for calibrating our DSM models, we implicitly make the assumption that these legacy soil data are accurate and therefore do not affect significantly our DSM products

The structure of soil is critical for the ecosystem services it provides since it regulates many key soil processes, including water, air and solute movement, root growth and the activity of soil biota. Soil structure is dynamic, driven by external factors such as land management and climate and mediated by a wide range of biological agents and physical processes operating at strongly contrasting time‐scales

Advances in the study of soil erosion by water in Mexico published in Spanish Eur. J. Soil Sci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Viviana Marcela Varón‐Ramírez, Mario Guevara
Research on soil erosion by water (SEW) includes studies on different spatial and temporal scales. Nevertheless, in Mexico (as in many countries of the Latin American and the Caribbean Region), a lack of studies on SEW is constantly reported in high‐impact journals. We argue that this lack is mainly due to the language in which the majority of the scientific research about SEW in Mexico is published

Phosphorus (P) is a key limiting nutrient in tropical and subtropical soils but with unknown responses to climate change. We hypothesized that storage and distribution of P pools differ between reference soil groups, but P availability increases with an increase in precipitation in native sub-Saharan Africa, an underrepresented region in the global P database. To test these hypotheses, we sampled topsoils

Deep-ploughing far beyond the common depth of 30 cm was used more than 50 years ago in Northern Germany with the aim to break root-restricting layers and thereby improve access to subsoil water and nutrient resources. We hypothesized that effects of this earlier intervention on soil properties and yields prevailed after 50 years. Hence, we sampled two sandy soils and one silty soil (Cambisols and a

Cultivation increased soil potential denitrification rates by modifying denitrifier communities in desert-oasis ecotone Eur. J. Soil Sci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-10-14 Lisha Wang, Zhibin He, Chuan Wang, Longfei Chen, Rong Yang
Oases soils in northwestern China are used widely for agricultural production, but low soil moisture and fertility necessitate high volumes of irrigation and fertilization, with significant losses of water via evaporation and nitrogen via denitrification. The dynamics of denitrifying communities and their responses to potential denitrification rate (PDR) in continuously irrigated oases remain unclear
