The influence of soil properties on the structure of bacterial and fungal communities across land-use types

TL;DR: Soil pH was the best predictor of bacterial community composition across this landscape while fungal community composition was most closely associated with changes in soil nutrient status, suggesting specific changes in edaphic properties, not necessarily land-use type itself, may best predict shifts in microbialcommunity composition across a given landscape.

Impact of biochar amendments on the quality of a typical Midwestern agricultural soil

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of biochar amendments (0, 5, 10, and 20 g-biochar kg−1 soil) on the quality of a Clarion soil (Mesic Typic Hapludolls), collected (0-15 cm) in Boone County, Iowa.

Carbonate and Gypsum

TL;DR: Inorganic carbonate in soil occurs predominantly as the sparingly soluble alkaline-earth carbonates, calcite (CaCOs) and dolomite (caMg(CO,),), which is usually the dominant form in active pedogenic environments as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochar impact on nutrient leaching from a Midwestern agricultural soil.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the impact of biochar on leaching of plant nutrients following application of swine manure to a typical Midwestern agricultural soil, and suggest that soil-biochar additions could be an effective management option for reducing nutrient leaching in production agriculture.

Experimental evaluation of methods to quantify dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in soil

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used chemical extractants used for measuring inorganic N could also be used to quantify dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and carbon (DOC) in soil.
