Changes in soil physical properties and organic carbon status at the topsoil horizon of a vertisol of central India after 28 years of continuous cropping, fertilization and manuring

TLDR
In this article, the long-term impact of fertilizer and manure application in a soybean-wheat-maize (fodder) crop rotation on soil organic carbon status and physical properties of a vertisol (Typic Haplustert or Pellic Vertisols) in sub-humid sub-tropical India was investigated.

Effect of biochar on soil physical properties in two contrasting soils: An Alfisol and an Andisol

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated to what extent the addition of corn stover (CS) and biochars produced from the pyrolysis of CSA feedstock at 350 and 550 degrees C temperatures (CS-350, CS-550) affected aggregate stability, volumetric water content (theta(V)), bulk density, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), and soil water repellency of specific soils.

Long-term experiments for sustainable nutrient management in China. A review

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a crop sensor-based in-season site-specific N management strategy, which was able to increase N- uptake efficiency by 368% over farmers' practices in the North China Plain.

Effects of long-term organic and mineral fertilizers on bulk density and penetration resistance in semi-arid Mediterranean soil conditions

TL;DR: A long-term field experiment was performed to investigate the role of mycorrhizal inoculation and organic fertilizers on some of soil properties of Mediterranean soils (Typic Xerofluvent, Menzilat clay-loam soil) as mentioned in this paper.

How does tillage intensity affect soil organic carbon? A systematic review

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of reduced tillage intensity on organic carbon (SOC) was investigated in boreo-temperate regions using, as a basis, evidence identified within a recently completed systematic map on the impacts of farming on SOC.
