Direct exports of phosphorus from fertilizers applied to grazed pastures
(Crop Science Society of America with the American Society of Agronomy and the Soil Science Society of America, 2019-08-21)
Since its discovery in 1669, phosphorus (P) in the form of fertilizer has become an essential input for many agroecosystems. By introducing a concentrated P source, fertilizers increase short-term P export potential soon ...
Increased soil nitrogen supply enhances root-derived available soil carbon leading to reduced potential nitrification activity
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Nitrogen (N) immobilisation by heterotrophic microorganisms is critical for reducing N losses from soils and ensuring a long-term supply of N to plants in grassland ecosystems. The supply of carbon (C) available to soil ...
The mitigation of phosphorus losses from a water-repellent soil used for grazed dairy farming
(Elsevier, 2020-03-15)
Phosphorus (P) losses via surface runoff can be large. Soil water repellency (SWR) occurs in warm and dry conditions. If SWR coincides with P fertiliser applications, the risk of P loss by surface runoff may increase. ...
Density effects on soil-water characteristics, soil-gas diffusivity, and emissions of N₂O and N₂ from a re-packed pasture soil
(Soil Science Society of America, 2019-02)
Density-induced soil structural changes may potentially alter both soil total porosity and soil pore size distribution, and thus change the soil’s water retention characteristics, gas diffusion and transport properties, ...
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 ...
Lime and soil moisture effects on nitrous oxide emissions from a urine patch
(Soil Science Society of America, 2004)
Liming has been mooted as a mitigation option for lowering soil N₂O emissions. This study investigated the effect of soil pH and soil water content on N₂O and N₂ emissions following the addition of synthetic urine (500 kg ...
Co-occurring increased phosphatase activity and labile P depletion in the rhizosphere of Lupinus angustifolius assessed with a novel, combined 2D-imaging approach
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Innovative non-destructive 2D imaging methods such as zymography and diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) have been developed recently to assess the distribution of phosphatase activity and labile solutes at the root-soil ...
Soil microbial community restructuring and functional changes in ancient kauri (Agathis australis) forests impacted by the invasive pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
New Zealand's culturally iconic, ancient kauri (Agathis australis) forests are threatened with extinction as a result of dieback caused by an invasive and highly virulent soil-borne pathogen (Phytophthora agathidicida). ...
Application of capillary electrophoresis to anion speciation in soil water extracts: II. Arsenic
(Soil Science Society of America, 2000)
A method has been developed for the speciation of arsenic (AsO₂⁻, AsO₄³⁻, and dimethylarsinic [DMA]) in natural soil solutions from contaminated sites in Australia. The separation of these anions was achieved by capillary ...
Potential use of biosolids to reforest degraded areas with New Zealand native vegetation
(Crop Science Society of America with Soil Science Society of America and American Society of Agronomy, 2017-06-30)
Biosolids could potentially be used for reforestation of degraded soils in New Zealand with native vegetation. Many native plant species of New Zealand thrive in low-fertility soils, and there is scant knowledge about their ...
