51 Citations | Inadequate experimental estimations of organic matter input rates and insufficient modelling of the soil preservation capacity for organic matter and biomass are likely reasons. |
| Organic inputs present different problems for nutrient management than & synthetic fertilizers, because most nutrients mus... | |
| These findings highlight the need to maintain, and where possible increase, organic carbon inputs into these farming systems which are rapidly becoming inorganic fertilizer intensive. | |
| The organic farms in this study appear to have been intensively managed, with a straight substitution of organic inputs for chemicals, but little other effort to enhance soil fertility. | |
| Based on these results, we conclude that the plant supply of organic matter primarily controls gross N mineralization and microbial respiration, but that the concentration of N in organic matter input secondarily influences these processes. | |
| Long-term organic fertilization may control the accumulation of organic matter in subsoil. | |
60 Citations | They may be favoured by an organic input with a significant contribution of terrestrial, rather low quality organic matter. |
| This study shows the ameliorative effect of organic matter addition in ASS. | |
| The study indicated only small changes in soil properties and stabilization of organic matter as a result of different detritus inputs. | |
| This can be done by introducing organic matter with the help of specialized equipment. | |
| For example, regular applications of organic residues will induce a long-term increase in soil organic matter content. | |
| A further benefit of this strategy is an increase in soil organic matter. | |
229 Citations | To improve soil fertility, efforts need to be made to increase soil organic matter content. |
51 Citations | As soil organic matter is primarily plant-derived, increases in POM-C reflect increased organic matter inputs or decreases in the rate of decomposition from the cessation of tillage. |
48 Citations | The results indicate that additions of organic matter from various sources differ in the effects on soil organic matter and biological activity. |
| These results indicate that the organic matter-related resources mar... | |
910 Citations | We conclude that two pathways yield soil organic matter efficiently. |

How does organic matter increase plant growht?5 answersOrganic matter increases plant growth through various mechanisms. Firstly, the addition of organic matter to the soil improves the availability of essential nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, and carbon, which are necessary for plant growth. Organic matter also enhances the cation exchange capacity of the soil, allowing plants to take up more nutrients. Additionally, organic matter promotes microbial activity in the soil, leading to the synthesis of amino acids and the release of beneficial bacteria, which further enhance plant growth. Furthermore, organic matter can act as a signaling molecule, influencing the activation of proton pumps in plant cell membranes and triggering specific patterns of growth and development. Overall, the presence of organic matter in the soil provides a favorable environment for plant growth by improving nutrient availability, promoting microbial activity, and influencing physiological processes in plants.
