Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term effects of a wildfire on the nitrogen status and its mineralization kinetics in an Atlantic forest soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fire on the N status and N mineralization capacity were estimated comparing the surface (0-5 cm) and subsurface (5-10 cm) layers from the burnt soil with the corresponding layers of the same unbumt soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inorganic and organic N pools in soils burned or heated: immediate alterations and evolution after forest wildfires
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fire on the inorganic and organic N contents and the resistance of organic N to step-wise acid hydrolysis (four steps of increasing hydrolytic intensity) was analysed in burned soils sampled (0-5 and 5-10 cm depth) at different times after high severity forest wildfires, as well as in one soil heated in the laboratory at 150, 210 or 350 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and chemical characterization of four composted urban refuses
M. C. Villar,M.C. Beloso,M.J. Acea,Ana Cabaneiro,Serafín J. González-Prieto,M. Carballas,Montserrat Díaz-Raviña,Tarsy Carballas +7 more
TL;DR: The physical and chemical characteristics of four composted urban refuse (one of them amended with CaCO 3 during the composting process) from Spanish industrial composting plants were studied from the point of view of their use as organic fertilizers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen mineralization and its controlling factors in various kinds of temperate humid-zone soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the main soil factors affecting organic N dynamics were identified by principal components analysis, and the mean net N mineralization rate was 1.63% of the organic N content, and varied according to soil parent materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon and nitrogen mineralization in an acid soil fertilized with composted urban refuses
M.C. Beloso,M. C. Villar,Ana Cabaneiro,M. Carballas,Serafín J. González-Prieto,Tarsy Carballas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the C and Nmineralization kinetics of a Cambisol over granite fertilized with four composted urban refuse (one of them amended with CaCO 3 in the composting process) were studied.
