Soil Health refers to the ecological equilibrium and the functionality of a soil and its capacity
to maintain a well balanced ecosystem with high biodiversity above and below surface, and …

Soil organic matter (SOM) has the potential to supply substantial quantities of nutrients [ie
nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S)] for plant uptake. Yet there is little …

Physical, chemical, and biological fractions of SOC pools, such as coarse particulate organic
matter C (CPOM-C), permanganate oxidizable C (KMnO 4-C), microbial biomass carbon …

Evaluating sustainable land management (SLM) practices have regional to worldwide
implications. It is imperative to develop SLM under particular soil type, climate, and crop** …

Soil health depletion due to intensive tillage operations is a global issue in the agricultural
sector. Conservation tillage (CT) which involves non-inversion tillage and leaving∼ 30% of …

Soils are the third biggest sink of carbon on the earth. Hence, suitable land uses for a
climatic condition are expected to sequester optimum atmospheric carbon in soils. But …

Abstract Changes in land-use can markedly influence soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)
pools, and consequently C sequestration and soil fertility. The objective of this study was to …

The present study investigates the changes in land use pattern from fallow land (control) to
fruit orchards on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics especially, organic carbon stocks …

Abstract Nitrogen (N) immobilization (Nim, including microbial N assimilation) and plant N
uptake (PNU) are the two most important pathways of N retention in soils. The ratio of Nim to …

Bacteria play a vital role in biotransformation of soil organic carbon (SOC). However,
mechanisms of bacterium and organic carbon mineralization remain unclear during …
