The efficacy of good practice to prevent long-term leaching losses of phosphorus from an irrigated dairy farm
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)
Phosphorus (P) can be leached from intensive land uses, including grazed dairy farming. There is some evidence to suggest that P-leaching can enrich groundwater, especially where fertiliser or farm dairy effluent P (FDE) ...
Environmental parameters affecting the concentration of iodine in New Zealand pasture
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America & Soil Science of America, 2019-08-21)
Iodine (I) is an essential trace element commonly deficient in agricultural systems. Whereas there is much information on I in food crops, there is a lacuna of knowledge on the environmental factors that affect pasture I ...
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, ...
