Role and management of soil biodiversity for food security and nutrition; where do we stand?
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
Soils host diverse communities that support and regulate ecosystem functions, thereby affecting plant production and resource use efficiencies. There is increasing evidence that agricultural intensification affects soil ...
Soil fauna community and ecosystem's resilience: A food web approach
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-08)
There is an increasing concern for the conservation of soil biodiversity and its ecosystem functions. In this context, it is crucial to comprehend the typical response times of the community (meso and macrofauna) to ...
The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls
(Annual Reviews, 2017-11)
Soil organic matter (SOM) anchors global terrestrial productivity and food and fiber supply. SOM retains water and soil nutrients and stores more global carbon than do plants and the atmosphere combined. SOM is also ...
Soil fertility shapes belowground food webs across a regional climate gradient
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-10)
Changes in soil fertility during pedogenesis affect the quantity and quality of resources entering the belowground subsystem. Climate governs pedogenesis, yet how climate modulates responses of soil food webs to soil ageing ...
Soil arthropod composition differs between old-fields dominated by exotic plant species and remnant native grasslands
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2018-08)
Secondary succession after agriculture abandonment (old-fields) is mostly dominated by exotic grass species. Non-native plant invasions may alter soil fauna, potentially inducing plant-soil feedbacks. Despite their importance ...
Mass spectrometry of organic matter influenced by long-term pedogenesis and a short-term reclamation practice in an Oxisol of Brazil
(Agricultural Inst Canada, 2016-03-01)
Little is known about the influence of soil pedogenesis and reclamation practices on the chemical composition of soil organic matter (SOM) in eroded Oxisol. We examined the long-term influence of pedogenesis and 8 years ...
Nanoparticles and nanostructure morphology of a Red Latosol in rehabilitation
(Univ Federal Campina Grande, 2017-08-01)
In the process of rehabilitation of a soil, two points are fundamental: to define optimal interferences to accelerate the rehabilitation process and the most appropriate indicators to diagnose its quality. Therefore, this ...
Selenium status in Brazilian soils and crops: Agronomic biofortification as a strategy to improve food quality
(Crc Press-taylor & Francis Group, 2016-01-01)
Distribution of Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 in soils and sugar cane crops at Corumbatai river basin, São Paulo State, Brazil
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2009-06-01)
The common use of phosphate fertilizers NPK and amendments in sugar cane crops in Brazilian agriculture may increase the Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 activity concentrations in soils and their availability for plants and human ...
