Abstract:
... Mercapto-palygorskite (MP) is a novel immobilization material for cadmium (Cd) pollution, but the immobilization mechanism on alkaline Cd contaminated soil is not completely clear. In this paper, field experiment was carried out to study the effect of MP on the transfer of Cd in aggregates at different depth, the contribution of soil aggregates to the reduction of Cd in bulk soil and the immobiliz ...
... AIMS: The mechanism by which species diversity drives productivity in different ecosystems is controversial, possibly due to the confounding effects of key environmental variables. Karst ecosystems are fragile and are at great risk of species loss. In these ecosystems, soil depth is a key driver of community diversity and productivity. However, the influence of soil depth on the relationship betwe ...
soildepth, etc ; ecosystems; evaporation; karsts; lysimeters; rain; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Karst water is an extremely important resource and can respond to precipitation events quickly due to the high rock exposure rate, shallow and uneven soil layers, and various crack sizes. The impacts of this special rock–soil structure type on hydrological processes are difficult to quantify,mainlybecause the karst subsurface structure is very complex. In this study, lysimeters representing four r ...
soildepth, etc ; Eucalyptus; leaf blight; pathogenicity; China; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... The genus Calonectria includes species that are pathogens of many plants. Calonectria leaf blight is a serious threat to Eucalyptus plantations in China and elsewhere in the world. Some Calonectria recovered from the surface layer (<20 cm) of soils can cause typical leaf blight symptoms on Eucalyptus trees. However, pathogenicity tests of Calonectria species from deeper soil layers have not been c ...

Abstract:
... Soil microbiota as the key role mediates the natural attenuation process of organic contaminated sites, and therefore illuminating the mechanisms underlying the responses of abundant and rare species is essential for understanding ecological processes, maintaining ecosystem stability, and regulating natural attenuation well. Here, we explored the distributional characteristics, ecological diversit ...

Abstract:
... In-vitro incubation of environmental samples is a common approach to estimate CH₄ oxidation potential. Here we developed and verified an in-situ method utilizing passive diffusion chambers (PDC, silicone tubes) to deliver ¹³C-labeled CH₄ into peat for the determination of the CH₄ oxidation potential based on ¹³C excess of CO₂. To target CH₄ oxidation under semi-aerobic and anaerobic conditions, we ...

Abstract:
... Crop residue input plays a central role in regulating soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. Ten long-term field experiments were used to ascertain the changes in SOC in response to differing rates of crop residues. The amount of C input from crop residues varied significantly between and within sites due to soil-environmental conditions, management and cropping systems. Initial SOC stocks ranged from ...

Abstract:
... Soil microbes play key roles in driving and regulating nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, a lack of global-scale information regarding the distribution of soil microbial biomass carbon (SMB C), nitrogen (SMB N), and phosphorus (SMB P) in terrestrial ecosystems has limited our ability to incorporate the broad-scale soil microbial nutritional properties and the associated processes ...

Abstract:
... In this dataset we present soil data analyses with properties such as pH, organic matter (OM), salinity (EC), etc., major elements (N, P, K, Mg) as well as some microelements (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B) with significant impact on plant nutrition. The samples were collected from the top 30 cm of the soil depth through a period of 5 successive years. The survey area is in the regional unit of Grevena in nor ...

Abstract:
... To compare C. monogyna seed germination and the seedling emergence of two populations from Quchan and Bardaskan in Khorasan-e-Razavi-I province in north east of Iran, experiments were carried out. From the results, the highest germination percentages for Quchan (98%) and Bardaskan (97%) populations were observed at alternating 25/15 and 30/20 °C day/night temperatures, respectively. Germination pe ...

Abstract:
... Land subsidence associated with groundwater overexploitation in the Alto Guadalentín Basin (Spain) aquifer system has been detected during the last decades. In this work, for the first time, we propose a new point cloud differencing methodology to detect land subsidence at basin scale, based on the multiscale model-to-model cloud comparison (M3C2) algorithm. This method is applied to two open-acce ...

Abstract:
... Ecological restoration is essential to reverse land degradation worldwide. Most studies have assessed the restoration of ecosystem functions individually, as opposed to a holistic view. Here we developed a network‐based ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) framework to identify key functions in evaluating EMF restoration. Through synthesizing 293 restoration studies (2900 observations) following cro ...

Abstract:
... The existing research into soil component inversion based on spectroscopic techniques has mainly focused on traditional statistical learning. However, the most prominent drawback of this approach is the difficulty in obtaining the soil components’ sensitive bands with explanatory inversion mechanisms. Whether for soil organic matter inversion or soil heavy metal inversion, there is still a lack of ...

Abstract:
... Soil preferential flow infiltrating rapidly through the rock–soil interface is an important hydrological process in karst rocky desertification area. However, how does the water leakage in the near-surface fissures, especially those filled with soil, proceed? The role of preferential flow at rock–soil interface of those fissures on water leakage process still puzzles us. The goal of this study was ...

Abstract:
... To study the effects of mulching on fine roots and fruits of Camellia oleifera Abel, four materials (Peanut stalk + straw, black mulch, eco-film, C. oleifera shell) were used to mulch on the C. oleifera forest land. The nondestructive minirhizotrons were used to in-situ monitor the growth, death, and turnover of fine roots for one year, and the fruit properties were measured for three years. The r ...

Abstract:
... Soil water is the dominant factor controlling evapotranspiration (ET) in arid and semi-arid regions. However, the widely used ET simulation models, such as the Shuttleworth-Wallace model (S–W model), are insufficient in simulating the direct influence of soil moisture (SM), especially in the root zone. Based on SM and ET field data, we found that the influence of SM on ET increased with soil depth ...

Abstract:
... Organic polluted sites have become a global concern of soil contamination, yet little is known about microbial vertical distribution and community assembly in organic polluted sites. Here, high-throughput sequencing technology was employed to investigate prokaryotic microbial diversity and community assembly along soil profile in an abandoned chemical organic contaminated site. Results showed that ...

Abstract:
... Soil depth may affect plant diversity in two apparently opposing manners: on the one hand, deeper soil may increase the available space for below‐ground niche partitioning, on the other hand, soil depth may have a negative effect on plant diversity by increasing productivity and the rate of competitive exclusion. Due to the scarcity of experimental studies that actively manipulate soil depth, the ...

Abstract:
... The hydrological connectivity of hillslope-riparian-stream (HRS) continuums is crucial for runoff generation and solute transport. The achievement of water resource protection and water quality improvement requires a systematic understanding of the structure and rainfall controls on HRS connectivity. Herein, two HRS continuums with different soil depths and slopes (HRS-1: thin soil depth and steep ...

Abstract:
... Microbial communities play important roles in soil health, contributing to processes such as the turnover of organic matter and nutrient cycling. As soil edaphic properties such as chemical composition and physical structure change from surface layers to deeper ones, the soil microbiome similarly exhibits substantial variability with depth, with respect to both community composition and functional ...
