Abstract:
... The assessment of areas at risk from various soil threats is a key task within the proposed EU Soil Framework Directive. Such assessment is, however, hampered by the complex nature of the soil threats, which result from the sometimes poorly understood interaction of various soil physical properties, climatic factors and land management practices. Methodologies for risk assessment of soil threats a ...

Abstract:
... So far, the majority of reports on on-line measurement considered soil properties with direct spectral responses in near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). This work reports on the results of on-line measurement of soil properties with indirect spectral responses, e.g. pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable calcium (Caex) and exchangeable magnesium (Mgex) in one field in Bedfordshire in the U ...

Abstract:
... Soil aggregation is an important physical property that influences the physico-chemical and biological properties of soil. Soil disturbances such as tillage can have a significant effect on soil aggregation. This study sought to examine the effect of soil aggregate size on soil pore characteristics and the subsequent effect on emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) for both sandy loam and clay loam s ...

Abstract:
... The impact of integrating cattle into a sod-based crop rotation was evaluated to understand the short and long-term effects of winter grazing on soil properties and productivity in terms of cotton yield. The rotation consisted of two years of bahiagrass followed by a year each of peanut and cotton. Cattle grazed on oats/rye during the winter. The influence of grazing and irrigation on soil propert ...

Abstract:
... Technology intervention is a key success to restore properties and productivities of a highly weathered soil (Oxisols). The main challenge is to find materials with the ability to generate soil negative charge, release various nutrients and suppress toxic elements. The objective of this study was to increase negative charge and nutrient content, and suppress Al and Mn toxicities of an Oxisol using ...

Abstract:
... The recovery of soil structure following intensive crop production is essential to maintain good fertility and productivity. It is well known that some crops with specific deep rooting characteristics can improve subsoil structure, but few measurements exist on the time to recovery or direct impacts on gas transport on aeration status, thus we hypothesized that root influence on soil structure for ...

Abstract:
... Shallow tillage (ST; typically <10cm) has a considerable impact on soil physical properties and hence modifies significantly the conditions for root growth and soil biotic activity as compared to mouldboard ploughing (MP; typically ∼25cm). At field capacity in the spring, we measured cone penetration resistance (PR) of the top 40cm soil and sampled intact soil cores (at 0–4 and 14–18cm depths) in ...

Abstract:
... The grain yield and end-use quality of winter wheat can be affected by the crop management system. A four year set of experiments, based on 13 winter wheat varieties and two locations in the Czech Republic, were designed to evaluate the interaction of two tillage systems (conventional ploughing to 22cm depth and surface stubble ploughing to a depth of 8–10cm) and two input (differing mainly in N f ...
