However, the effect of SS application on the plant–soil system in sandy soils is poorly understood. In this study, we established SS application treatment plots (SL, 25 t ha⁻¹) and control treatment plots without sewage sludge application (CK, 0 t ha⁻¹). SS was applied to ...

Soil thermal properties play many major roles in a soil as they influence the soil temperature and define the soil microclimate, which regulates many soil health parameters as well as life cycles of soil biota. Although cover crops (CC) can affect soil thermal properties, they are one of the least studied areas. This study compared the effects of CC on soil thermal properties in a corn (Zea mays L ...

... Bulk density (BD) is one of the most important soil physical properties in the hydrological processes of Earth's Critical Zone (CZ). The heterogeneity and related controlling factors of surface BD have received extensive research attention. However, it is unclear whether the effects of controlling factors on BD are homogeneous or vary spatially. This study quantified topsoil BD with a high‐density ...

Water content is commonly measured using standard methods that involve drying temperatures of 105–110 °C. Recommended drying temperatures differ for the determination of SOC and N. However, at moderate drying temperatures, microbial activity might lead to organic matter min ...
