Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry links extracellular enzyme allocation to microbial resource-acquisition patterns, yet its behavior in managed subtropical soils remains poorly resolved. This uncertainty is especially important where strong edaphic heteroge...
Fertilizer source shapes soil nutrient dynamics in tomato systems, yet its effects across soil depths and crop season stages remain poorly understood. A two-year field experiment (2024–2025) was conducted on a Crider silt loam soil at Western K...
Coffee farming in Colombia is influenced by various voluntary sustainability standards that require measures to preserve and improve soil quality. This study evaluated the impact of nine certification schemes on soil chemical quality in 320 coffee fa...
Increasing soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) compromises environmental quality and ecosystem health, reinforcing the need for effective remediation strategies. Phytoremediation uses plants to remove, immobilize, or neutralize co...
Desertification is a major environmental problem in drylands, resulting from the interaction between climatic and anthropogenic factors and involving processes such as vegetation loss and soil erosion. In northeastern Brazil, long-term land-use press...
Erosion affects soil health, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem productivity. Although the physical manifestations of erosion are well known, further research is needed to understand how its biochemical consequences interact to limit soil functionality...
Soil metal contamination poses potential risks to ecosystem health, yet its vertical distribution and impacts on microbial communities in protected wildlife habitats remain poorly understood. This study investigated the vertical variation (0–80...
This study evaluated the effects of diatomite (DT) and fly ash (FA) on soil pH, silicon (Si) availability, nutrient partitioning, and sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata) productivity in sandy loam soil under greenhouse conditions in northeastern...
Assessing the soil quality of coastal reclamation areas is fundamental to alleviating land resource scarcity in coastal cities and ensuring food security. However, it remains unclear how to evaluate soil quality in reclaimed areas and identify factor...
To explore the effects of legume intercropping on soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycling processes in mulberry plantations during the winter fallow period, three treatments were set up: control (no intercropping, CK), single-legume intercroppin...
