Small-scale spatial variability of selected soil biological properties
(Elsevier, 2004-04)
A strategy for sampling soil from intact monolith lysimeters was established based on measurements of spatial heterogeneity within the lysimeter area. This was part of an ongoing study to determine relationships between ...
Dissolved organic nitrogen : an overlooked pathway of nitrogen loss from agricultural systems?
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2009)
Conventional wisdom postulates that leaching losses of N from agriculture systems are dominated by NO₃⁻. Although the export of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) into the
groundwater has been recognized for more than 100 ...
Dynamics of nitrous oxide in groundwater at the aquatic-terrestrial interface
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007-04-10)
Few data are available to validate the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's emission factors for indirect emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O). In particular the N₂O emissions resulting from nitrogen leaching and the ...
Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectral assignments of phosphorus compounds in soil NaOH–EDTA extracts
(Soil Science Society of America, 2003)
Soil P composition can be conveniently determined in alkaline extracts using solution ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, but spectral assignments are based on fragmentary literature reports of model compounds ...
Processes governing phosphorus availability in temperate soils
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2000)
Phosphorus losses from agricultural soil to water bodies are mainly related to the excessive accumulation of available P in soil as a result of long-term inputs of fertilizer P. Since P is a nonrenewable resource, there ...
Phosphorus exchangeability and leaching losses from two grassland soils
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2002)
Although phosphate phosphorus (P) is strongly sorbed in many soils, it may be quickly transported through the soil by preferential flow. Under flood irrigation, preferential flow is especially pronounced and associated ...
Fungal inoculum properties : Extracellular enzyme expression and pentachlorophenol removal by New Zealand Trametes species in contaminated field soils
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2007)
This study was conducted to improve the ability of indigenous New Zealand white-rot fungi to remove pentachlorophenol (PCP) from contaminated field soil. The effects of different bioaugmentation conditions on PCP removal ...
Fungal inoculum properties : Extracellular enzyme expression and pentachlorophenol removal in highly contaminated field soils
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2007)
This study was conducted to improve the pentachlorophenol (PCP) bioremediation ability of white-rot fungi in highly contaminated field soils by manipulating bioaugmentation variables. These were the dry weight percentage ...
Seasonal fluctuations in phosphorus loss by leaching from a grassland soil
(Soil Science Society of America, 2004)
Phosphorus losses from soils have been reported to impair the water quality, resulting in deaths of fish and other marine animals, and can harm human health. The objective of this study was to determine the seasonal ...
Soil respiratory quotient determined via barometric process separation combined with nitrogen-15 labeling
(Soil Science Society of America, 2004)
The barometric process separation (BaPS) and ¹⁵N dilution techniques were used to determine gross nitrification rates on the same soil cores from an old grassland soil. The BaPS-technique separates the O₂ consumption into ...
