Sandy soils are widely distributed across the world. Due to the growing global population
and urbanization, these soils are increasingly used to provide food, feed, fiber, energy, and …

Sandy soils cover approximately 900 million ha worldwide particularly in arid and semi-arid
regions. There are extensive areas of sandy soils under cultivation, but the soil fertility is …

Long-term nitrogen (N) fertilization affects soil aggregation and localizations of soil organic
carbon (SOC), N and microbial parameters within aggregates. The mechanisms of these N …

Purpose The aim of this paper is to enlighten the role of highly reactive iron (Fe) minerals in
soil organic carbon (SOC) preservation in soil aggregates. Materials and methods The …

The conversion of grasslands to croplands is common in the agro-pastoral ecotone and
brings potential risks to soil health and environmental safety. As the forming unit of soil …

Soil aggregation is deeply impacted by the quality of organic materials. However, the
organic material features that control soil aggregation dynamics are still largely unknown. In …

Rare earth oxides (REOs) as tracers track aggregate formation and breakdown pathways.
However, investigations on the impacts of residue quality and soil texture on aggregation …

The effects of residue quality and nitrogen (N) input on soil aggregate turnover are not
clarified. In this study, aggregation pathways and C cycling were tracked by using rare earth …

Spent coffee ground (SCG) consists of the remainder left after brewing the coffee grounds.
Due to its valuable composition, SCG can provide sufficient nutrients and support plant …

In greenhouse vegetable production, reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) effectively mitigates
soil-borne diseases, yet its impact on the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) has not …
