In order to investigate the characteristics of soil structural stability and the factors influencing
it under typical land use types in the karst region of western Hubei, soil samples were …

La macrofauna edáfica como parte de la biodiversidad terrestre contribuye con importantes
servicios ecosistémicos, entre los más relevantes, el secuestro y la liberación del carbono …

Purpose Aggregate stability is important for soil architecture; however, the specific response
to long-term fertilization in upland and paddy fields are unknown. Here, we studied this issue …

Purpose In the mesic savannas of West Africa, areas around villages of relatively tall and
dense forest vegetation are often found. These 'forest islands' are presumably the direct …

Conservation agriculture practices involving zero tillage and residue retention are promising
nutrient management strategies for soil health restoration. Despite their potential positive …

Purpose Microbial community composition in soil is shaped by land uses. In this study, we
aimed to investigate the influences of land uses on functional gene profiles. Methods The …

Reducing emissions and enhancing carbon sinks are essential for promoting regional
agriculture in a green, low-carbon manner. However, most studies have overlooked spatial …

This chapter provides an overview of the status of soil systems in the Global South, with a
particular focus on Africa. Soil is a vital natural resource that plays a crucial role in …

Background. Soil aggregates represent a major indicator of soil fertility as they are important
components of soil C protection. However, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the choice …

Abstract Knowledge about the impact generated by biological activity in soils is fundamental,
as the organisms present play an essential role in various processes that occur in the soil …
