Soil nematodes are key components of soil food web and, through their metabolic activities, play a crucial role in soil carbon (C) cycling. Abovegroun......
Remote sensing indices have been proposed to characterize soil salinity. However, the sensitivity of these indicators is unstable owing to differences......
Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation influences soil nutrient cycling and the functioning of soil microorganisms. However, the effects of AWD......
Soil respiration (R-s), which consists of heterotrophic respiration (R-h) by soil decomposers and autotrophic respiration (R-a) by roots, plays a crit......
Soil salinization caused by shallow, saline groundwater represents a serious threat to field productivity, especially in arid regions with intense soi......
Soil microbes support multiple ecosystem functions in woody biomes and are regulated by both plant communities and soil properties. While most microbe......
Cold regions contain a large amount of soil organic carbon, and the warming-accelerated loss of this carbon pool could cause important feedback to cli......
Soil microaggregates composed of mineral-mineral and organo-mineral complexes are crucial for controlling many soil ecosystem functions such as soil s......
Revegetation through the establishment of woody vegetation on bare active dunes is an effective approach to restore degraded dune systems. Revegetatio......
Soil or sediment spectral reflectance do not directly reflect information of spectrally featureless heavy metals. With mangrove sediment samples colle......
Organic materials input is remarkably essential for soil aggregates formation and breakdown processes. Which characteristics of organic materials cont......
Nitrate (NO3- ) leaching in agroecosystems has caused much concern worldwide due to its negative environmental and health impacts. To evaluate the eff......
Climate warming and nitrogen (N) deposition are expected to increase in the coming decades. The consequences of the interaction between warming and N ......
The view that soil organic C (SOC) is formed mainly from non-metabolised and recalcitrant organic residues is being challenged by an emerging view tha......
Soil organic matter (SOM) content plays an important role in the global carbon cycle and agricultural activities. Reflectance spectroscopy has been re......
