Ecology of soil erosion in ecosystems
D Pimentel, N Kounang - Ecosystems, 1998 - Springer
Each year, about 75 billion tons of soil are eroded from the world's terrestrial ecosystems.
Most agricultural land in the world is losing soil at rates ranging from 13 tons/ha/year to 40 …

Biotic pump of atmospheric moisture as driver of the hydrological cycle on land
In this paper the basic geophysical and ecological principles are jointly analyzed that allow
the landmasses of Earth to remain moistened sufficiently for terrestrial life to be possible. 1 …

Soil carbon stock and its changes in northern China's grasslands from 1980s to 2000s
Climate warming is likely to accelerate the decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC)
which may lead to an increase of carbon release from soils, and thus provide a positive …

Phosphorus-mobilization ecosystem engineering: the roles of cluster roots and carboxylate exudation in young P-limited ecosystems
Background Carboxylate-releasing cluster roots of Proteaceae play a key role in acquiring
phosphorus (P) from ancient nutrient-impoverished soils in Australia. However, cluster roots …
