Once a hurricane makes landfall, it’s usually the beginning of the end for the storm. But a tropical cyclone passing over warm, waterlogged ground can get a jolt of energy that refuels its fury, ...
Background and aims Crop residues and soil types play an important role in soil C and N storage. The objectives of this study were to quantify the effects of crop residue quality and interactions with ...
As a predator of soil microorganisms, nematodes respond rapidly to changes in soil environment, which can reflect climate conditions, ecosystem succession status, nutrient cycling and soil ecosystem ...
A new study published in Science has revealed a global and potentially permanent decline in soil moisture, signaling a dangerous shift in the world's water cycle. As reported by Carbon Brief, the ...
ABSTRACT At high latitudes, changes in soil moisture could alter soil temperatures independently of air temperature changes by interacting with the snow thermal rectifier. The authors investigated ...
Since the 1980s, scientists have known fine roots (< 2 mm) are critical to ecosystem carbon cycling, with research long ...
