Impact of carbon and nitrogen application in paddy-soil ecosystem: 13,14C labeling, zymography, pH mapping and PLFA
(2020-05-29)Rice (Oryza sativa L.), a major cereal crop, is cultivated on more than 140 million hectares worldwide. Consequently, rice growing paddy fields are major consumers of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and the biggest users of ... -
Rhizosphere engineering Improving plant tolerance to drought by modifying the physical and biological properties of the rhizosphere
(2018-10-23)Among various biotic and abiotic stresses, drought is one of the most limiting factors compromising plant growth and crop productivity. Mobility and availability of nutrients are controlling factors for plant growth and ... -
Land-use Control on Abiotic and Biotic Mechanisms of P Mobilization
(2017-10-13)Phosphorus (P) is the most limiting nutrient for plant growth and productivity in many regions worldwide especially in the tropics. Aside intrinsic low P availability controlled by physicochemical and biological reactions, ... -
The Kobresia pastures on the Tibetan Plateau
(2017-09-11)The Kobresia grasslands represent the world’s largest pastoral ecosystem, covering about 450,000 km² on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. The vegetation is dominated by an endemic sedge (Kobresia pygmaea), forming a lawn with ... -
Tibetan pasture degradation under the impact of global change: Consequences for carbon and nutrient cycles and recovery strategies
(2017-07-27)The Tibetan Plateau hosts the world’s largest alpine pastoral ecosystems, dominated by the endemic sedge Kobresia pygmaea C.B.Clarke. Overgrazing on the Tibetan Plateau has caused severe degradation of vegetation and soils ... -
Recrystallization of pedogenic and biogenic carbonates in soil: Environmental controls, modelling and relevance for paleoenvironmental reconstructions and dating
(2017-05-30)The reliability of paleoenvironment (paleoclimate, paleovegetation etc.) interpretations and radiocarbon ages based on isotopes of carbon (δ13C, 14C), oxygen (δ18O) and clumped isotopes (Δ47) in soil carbonates types e.g. ... -
Species-specific Effects on the Carbon and Nitrogen Cycle in Temperate Decidous Forest
(2017-02-20)Various studies suggest that the main mechanism of biodiversity effects on ecosystem function is niche complementarity, but it is challenging to assess complementarity among plant species understanding its key mechanisms. ... -
Crop residue decomposition and stabilization in soil organic matter
(2017-02-10)Cropland soils may be sources or sinks for atmospheric CO2. In general, it is assumed that C input into the soil and soil organic matter (SOM) levels are linearly related. This gives rise to environmental concerns regarding ... -
Effects of rainforest transformation systems on carbon cycle and soil fertility
(2016-01-06)Agriculture faces the challenge of producing, in the first half of the 21st century, a similar amount of calories to those produced during the last 400 years, while also reducing its negative environmental impacts, such ... -
Effect of Composted and Vermicomposted Cotton Residues on Nutrient Contents, Ryegrass Growth and Bacterial Blight Mitigation
(2013-04-05)The use of organic residues as amendments to improve soil organic matter level and long term soil fertility is gaining importance due to their potential for improving soil health and productivity. Conversion of crop residues ...
