maintaining agricultural sustainability and ecological balance. A quantitative understanding …

Soil heterogeneity makes the vertical distribution of metal (loid) s in site soil vary
considerably and poses a challenge for identifying the key factors of metal (loid) s migration …

Purpose This study aims to explore the spatio-temporal variation of soil nutrients as well as
soil organic matter (SOM), and clarify the role of environmental and soil management factors …

Deep fertilization strategy has been proven to be an important fertilizer management method
for improving fertilizer utilization efficiency and crop yield. However, the relationship …

Phosphorus (P) inputs are essential for maximizing agronomic potential, yet high P inputs
and subsequent P losses can cause eutrophication of water bodies. There is a need to …

Overfertilization is prevalent in rainfed apple orchards on China's Loess Plateau; yet, its
impacts on soil physicochemical properties in deep soil profiles are poorly documented. To …

Phosphorus (P) leaching is a major problem in greenhouse vegetable production with
excessive P fertilizer application. Substitution of inorganic P fertilizer with organic fertilizer is …

The nutrient requirements of apple trees for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), as reflected
in their uptake characteristics, are crucial for formulating appropriate fertilizer application …

Knowledge of nutrient surpluses in soils is critical to optimize nutrient management and
minimize adverse environmental effects. We investigated the nutrient surpluses in soils in …

Knowledge of the spatial–temporal variations of soil organic carbon (SOC) quantity and
quality and its microbial regulation mechanisms is essential for long-term SOC sequestration …
