Journal ArticleDOI
Maize and wheat root biomass, vertical distribution, and size class as affected by fertilization intensity in two long-term field trials
TL;DR: It is concluded that roots respond more to site than to fertilization intensity and that absolute inputs of root biomass carbon to soil are similar in low- and high-intensity systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model to predict soil aggregate stability dynamics following organic residue incorporation under field conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a model (Pouloud) to predict the dynamics of aggregate stability following the incorporation of various organic residues under field conditions using principal component analysis (PCA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon losses from pyrolysed and original wood in a forest soil under natural and increased N deposition
Bernardo Maestrini,Samuel Abiven,Nimisha Singh,Jeffrey A. Bird,Margaret S. Torn,Michael W. I. Schmidt +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured pyrogenic organic matter (PyOM) and native soil organic carbon losses from the soil as carbon dioxide and dissolved organic car-bon (DOC) using additions of highly 13 C-labelled pyOM and its precursor pinewood during 1 year in a temperate forest soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineralisation of crop residues on the soil surface or incorporated in the soil under controlled conditions
TL;DR: The authors compared the effect of mature crop residues mixed into a ferralitic soil or placed as a single layer on soil surface on the mineralisation of C and N over 55 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decomposition of Norway spruce and European larch coarse woody debris (CWD) in relation to different elevation and exposure in an Alpine setting
Marta Petrillo,Paolo Cherubini,Giacomo Sartori,Samuel Abiven,Judith Ascher,Daniela Bertoldi,Federica Camin,Alice Barbero,Roberto Larcher,Markus Egli +9 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the different substrate should be traceable during CWD decay had to be rejected, although some statistically significant chemical differences between larch and spruce were measured in the living trees.
