D espite accounting for around 0.025 percent of all mass on the planet, carbon is vital for life on Earth. This element, ...

ARS in collaboration with UNL and PDI have developed SSPOT, a digital tool that streamlines the process of selecting optimal ...

The Soil Sample Planning Organizer Tool (SSPOT) tool is now available. Understanding soil variability is key to effective precision farming. Factors such as pH levels, nutrient distribution, and ...

Although further studies remain to be done to understand how hydrological conditions change through time, and ultimately what are the long-term impacts of a changing climate on hydrology, vegetation ...

A study by Kansas State University researchers shows that organic farming practices, such as using manure and compost fertilizers, can significantly increase carbon storage in soil. The findings ...

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released by microbial decomposition of soil organic carbon on a global scale is ...

A new study published in Ecological Processes by researchers at the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of ...

Soil incubation experiments revealed a comprehensive increase in CO2 release by drying-rewetting cycles (DWCs) among Japanese forests and pastureland soils, suggesting a significant contribution of ...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) accounting and crediting primarily uses measure-and-model approaches, relying on predictive biogeochemical models informed by small field trials and limited direct ...
