Soil and environmental issues in sandy soils
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 …

Soil organic carbon in sandy soils: A review
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 …

Effects of different microplastics on nematodes in the soil environment: tracking the extractable additives using an ecotoxicological approach
With increasing interest in the effects of microplastics on the soil environment, there is a
need to thoroughly evaluate the potential adverse effects of these particles as a function of …

Limited resilience of the soil microbiome to mechanical compaction within four growing seasons of agricultural management
Soil compaction affects many soil functions, but we have little information on the resistance
and resilience of soil microorganisms to this disturbance. Here, we present data on the …

Soil physical quality associated with tillage practices during sugarcane planting in south-central Brazil
Soil tillage operations had been carried out during the sugarcane planting to improve soil's
physical quality, thus providing proper conditions for sugarcane growth. Long-term field …

X-ray micro-computed tomography characterized soil pore network as influenced by long-term application of manure and fertilizer
Manure is used to enhance soil organic matter content, aggregation, and hence porosity.
However, knowledge of long-term application of cattle manure and fertilizer impacts on soil …

Texture and degree of compactness effect on the pore size distribution in weathered tropical soils
Soil pores can be functionally classified into macro-, meso-and micropores. The volume of
these pores is highly affected by constitutive and state components of soils, such as particle …

Precrops alleviate soil physical limitations for soybean root growth in an Oxisol from southern Brazil
The impact of soil compaction on soybean root growth and grain yield can be alleviated by
the presence of biopores and root channels in the soil profile. We hypothesize that cover …
