Nitrification, a microbial process, is a key component and integral part of the nitrogen (N)
cycle. Soil N is in a constant state of flux, moving and changing chemical forms. During …

We examined the consequences of deforestation and pasture establishment for soil
chemical and physical properties and for soil organic matter content, in Rondônia, in the …

It is well recognized in the literature that topography can influence soil nutrient stocks and
dynamics in temperate regions, but for tropical forests, this source of variation has …

Improper cultivation practices are seriously and considerably degrading native forest
ecosystems in the Bale Mountains of the south-eastern highlands of Ethiopia. This study …

The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the effects of land use change on N oxide
fluxes from soil in seasonally dry, eastern Amazonia and (2) evaluate the “hole‐in‐the‐pipe” …

Annotation. Successful agroforestry requires an understanding of the complex relationship
between trees, crops and soils. This book provides a review of both economic and …

ABSTRACT Tropical soils account for 10%–20% of the 15–35 Tg of atmospheric methane
(CH 4) consumed annually by soils, although tropical deforestation could be changing the …

A bioluminescence assay using recombinant Nitrosomonas europaea was adopted to detect
and quantify natural nitrification inhibitors in plant–soil systems. The recombinant strain of N …

Depletion of soil organic matter (SOM) is a major component of soil degradation that
threatens the sustainability of smallholder farming systems in Ethiopia. In this study, soil …

Surface mining extensively alters the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the
soil, and therefore, the revegetation of mine spoil through natural process takes a very long …
