In this paper, we present the results of our study on the operational application of the reflectance-based crop coefficient for assessing table grape irrigation requirements. The methodology was applied to provide irrigation advice and to assess the irrigation performance. The net irrigation water requirements (NIWR) simulated using the reflectance-based basal crop coefficient were provided to the farmer during the growing season and compared with the actual irrigation volumes applied. Two treatments were implemented in the field, increasing and reducing the irrigation doses by 25%, respectively, compared to the regular management. The experiment was carried out in a commercial orchard during three consecutive growing seasons in Northern Chile. The NIWR based on the model was approximately 900 mm per season for the orchard at tree maturity. The experimental results demonstrate that the regular irrigation applied covered only 76% of the NIWR for the whole season, and the analysis of monthly and weekly accumulated values indicates several periods of water shortage. The regular management system tended to underestimate the water requirements from October to January and overestimate the water requirements after harvest from February to April. The level of the deficit of water was quantified using such plant physiological parameters as stem water potential, vegetative development (coverage), and fruit productivity. The estimated NIWR was roughly covered in the treatment where the irrigation dose was increased, and the analyses of the crop production and fruit quality point to the relative advantage of this treatment. Finally, we conclude that the proposed approach allows the analysis of irrigation performance on the scale of commercial fields. These analytic capabilities are based on the well-demonstrated relationship of the crop evapotranspiration with the information provided by satellite images, and provide valuable information for irrigation management by identifying periods of water shortage and over-irrigation.

The amount of logging residues left on site after clear\uffe2\uff80\uff90felling has been shown to influence the state of soil nutrient resources, but this effect may depend on soil conditions. In three regions of the boreal zone of Quebec, with contrasting soil characteristics, soil and foliar nutrient status of young (15\uffe2\uff80\uff9320 yr old) stands were compared among sites that were clear\uffe2\uff80\uff90felled at two harvesting intensities, that is, stem\uffe2\uff80\uff90only (SOH) and whole\uffe2\uff80\uff90tree harvesting (WTH). Balsam fir (Abies balsamea) stands were studied in the For\uffc3\uffaat Montmorency and Gasp\uffc3\uffa9sie regions, while black spruce [Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.] and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) were studied in the Haute\uffe2\uff80\uff90Mauricie region. Whole\uffe2\uff80\uff90tree harvesting resulted in lower cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared with SOH, but this effect could be linked to decreased levels of organic C only in the Haute\uffe2\uff80\uff90Mauricie region, where soils had intrinsically low organic matter content. Lower soil and foliar Ca concentrations after WTH were observed in all three regions. Foliar Ca status was most strongly affected by harvesting intensity in Gasp\uffc3\uffa9sie, where soils exhibited the lowest concentration of total Ca in the parent material. In Haute\uffe2\uff80\uff90Mauricie, where the parent material contained a low level of Mg, foliar nutrition for this element was significantly poorer under WTH compared with SOH. Harvesting intensity did not influence the biogeochemical cycles of K and N. Foliar analysis revealed that jack pine exhibits the strongest nutritional difference between WTH and SOH. Results suggested that the tree species regenerating the harvested sites, as well as the total Ca and Mg contents of the parent material are better indicators of a site's susceptibility to nutritional alteration by WTH than soil available nutrient status.

The effects of harvesting and slash treatments on soil nutrient dynamics were assessed in boreal aspen stands growing on mesic clayey sites. Stem\uffe2\uff80\uff90only harvested stands were compared with unharvested controls according to a complete block design with three replications. Within harvested areas, four slash treatments (stem\uffe2\uff80\uff90only harvesting [SOH], whole\uffe2\uff80\uff90tree harvesting [WHT], wood chip application, and slash burns) were compared. Treatments created a gradient of slash that ranged from 52.3 Mg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 in stem\uffe2\uff80\uff90only to 13.8 Mg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 in control stands. The amount of slash had no effect on wood decomposition rates but was strongly associated with higher forest floor organic C, Kjeldahl N and base cation concentrations (Cae and Mge), base saturation, pH, and effective cation exchange capacity (CEC) and lower microbial C/N when control stands were compared with stem\uffe2\uff80\uff90only harvested stands. Slash burn severity was too low to significantly reduce slash loads and induce base cation release but severe enough to reduce forest floor microbial C and N concentrations (\uffe2\uff88\uff9248 and \uffe2\uff88\uff9255%, respectively) for at least one complete growing season. Slash burn also induced increases in forest floor available P (54%) concentration compared with other slash treatments. Chipping reduced forest floor microbial N concentration by 25% and increased microbial C/N by 28% but had no impact on nutrient availability. Differences between WTH and SOH were linked to the abundance of slash. Finally, the results illustrate that whatever the treatment, the amount of slash left on the ground is the main factor found to affect soil microbial community characteristics and soil nutrient availability.

Growing interest in the potential for agricultural soils to provide a sink for atmospheric C has prompted studies of effects of management on soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. We analyzed the impact on SOC of four N fertilization rates (0\uffe2\uff80\uff93270 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) and four cropping systems: continuous corn (CC) (Zea mays L.); corn\uffe2\uff80\uff93soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (CS); corn\uffe2\uff80\uff93corn\uffe2\uff80\uff93oat\uffe2\uff80\uff93alfalfa (oat, Avena sativa L.; alfalfa, Medicago sativa L.) (CCOA), and corn\uffe2\uff80\uff93oat\uffe2\uff80\uff93alfalfa\uffe2\uff80\uff93alfalfa (COAA). Soils were sampled in 2002, Years 23 and 48 of the experiments located in northeast and north\uffe2\uff80\uff90central Iowa, respectively. The experiments were conducted using a replicated split\uffe2\uff80\uff90plot design under conventional tillage. A native prairie was sampled to provide a reference (for one site only). Cropping systems that contained alfalfa had the highest SOC stocks, whereas the CS system generally had the lowest SOC stocks. Concentrations of SOC increased significantly between 1990 and 2002 in only two of the nine systems for which historical data were available, the fertilized CC and COAA systems at one site. Soil quality indices such as particulate organic carbon (POC) were influenced by cropping system, with CS < CC < CCOA. In the native prairie, SOC, POC, and resistant C concentrations were 2.8, 2.6, and 3.9 times, respectively, the highest values in cropped soil, indicating that cultivated soils had not recovered to precultivation conditions. Although corn yields increased with N additions, N fertilization increased SOC stocks only in the CC system at one site. Considering the C cost for N fertilizer production, N fertilization generally had a net negative effect on C sequestration.

We resampled one of the earliest replicated experimental sites used to investigate the impacts of native tropical tree species on soil properties, to examine longer term effects to 1\uffe2\uff80\uff90m depth. The mono\uffe2\uff80\uff90dominant stands, established in abandoned pasture in 1988 at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica, contained six species, including one exotic, Pinus patula ssp. tecunumanii (Eguiluz & J.P. Perry) Styles, and five native species: Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) Ktze (N2\uffe2\uff80\uff90fixing); Hyeronima alchorneoides Allemao; Virola koschnyi Warb.; Vochysia ferruginea Mart.; and Vochysia guatemalensis J.D. Smith. Soil organic carbon (SOC) differed significantly among species in the surface (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9315\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm) layer, ranging from 44.5 to 55.1 g kg\uffe2\uff88\uff921, compared with 46.6 and 50.3 g kg\uffe2\uff88\uff921 in abandoned pasture and mature forest, respectively. The change in surface SOC over 15 yr ranged from \uffe2\uff88\uff920.03 to 0.66 Mg C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921 The species differed in the quantity and chemical composition of their detrital production. Soil organic C was significantly correlated with fine\uffe2\uff80\uff90root growth, but not with aboveground detrital inputs. Soil organic C increased with potential C mineralization on a grams of C basis, indicating that species influenced both the quality and quantity of SOC. Contrary to expectations, SOC declined with increasing fine\uffe2\uff80\uff90root lignin concentrations, indicating that lignin\uffe2\uff80\uff90derived C did not dominate refractory SOC pools. We hypothesize that differences among species in the capacity to increase SOC stocks involved fine\uffe2\uff80\uff90root traits that promoted soil microbial turnover and, thus, greater production of recalcitrant, microbial\uffe2\uff80\uff90derived C fractions.

Summer droughts strongly affect soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling, but net effects on SOC storage are unclear as drought affects both C inputs and outputs from soils. Here, we explored the overlooked role of soil fauna on SOC storage in forests, hypothesizing that soil faunal activity is particularly drought\uffe2\uff80\uff90sensitive, thereby reducing litter incorporation into the mineral soil and, eventually, long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term SOC storage.

In a drought\uffe2\uff80\uff90prone pine forest (Switzerland), we performed a large\uffe2\uff80\uff90scale irrigation experiment for 17\uffc2\uffa0years and assessed its impact on vertical SOC distribution and composition. We also examined litter mass loss of dominant tree species using different mesh\uffe2\uff80\uff90size litterbags and determined soil fauna abundance and community composition.

The 17\uffe2\uff80\uff90year\uffe2\uff80\uff90long irrigation resulted in a C loss in the organic layers (\uffe2\uff88\uff921.0\uffc2\uffa0kg\uffc2\uffa0C\uffc2\uffa0m\uffe2\uff88\uff922) and a comparable C gain in the mineral soil (+0.8\uffc2\uffa0kg\uffc2\uffa0C\uffc2\uffa0m\uffe2\uff88\uff922) and thus did not affect total SOC stocks. Irrigation increased the mass loss ofQuercus pubescensandViburnum lantanaleaf litter, with greater effect sizes when meso\uffe2\uff80\uff90 and macrofauna were included (+215%) than when excluded (+44%). The enhanced faunal\uffe2\uff80\uff90mediated litter mass loss was paralleled by a many\uffe2\uff80\uff90fold increase in the abundance of meso\uffe2\uff80\uff90 and macrofauna during irrigation. Moreover, Acari and Collembola community composition shifted, with a higher presence of drought\uffe2\uff80\uff90sensitive species in irrigated soils. In comparison, microbial SOC mineralization was less sensitive to soil moisture. Our results suggest that the vertical redistribution of SOC with irrigation was mainly driven by faunal\uffe2\uff80\uff90mediated litter incorporation, together with increased root C inputs.

Our study shows that soil fauna is highly sensitive to natural drought, which leads to a reduced C transfer from organic layers to the mineral soil. In the longer term, this potentially affects SOC storage and, therefore, soil fauna plays a key but so far largely overlooked role in shaping SOC responses to drought.Abstract. Understanding the dependencies of the terrestrial carbon and water cycle with meteorological conditions is a prerequisite to anticipate their behaviour under climate change conditions. However, terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere interact via a multitude of variables across temporal and spatial scales. Additionally these interactions might differ among vegetation types or climatic regions. Today, novel algorithms aim to disentangle the causal structure behind such interactions from empirical data. The estimated causal structures can be interpreted as networks, where nodes represent relevant meteorological variables or land-surface fluxes and the links represent the dependencies among them (possibly including time lags and link strength). Here we derived causal networks for different seasons at 119\uffc2\uffa0eddy covariance flux tower observations in the FLUXNET network. We show that the networks of biosphere\uffe2\uff80\uff93atmosphere interactions are strongly shaped by meteorological conditions. For example, we find that temperate and high-latitude ecosystems during peak productivity exhibit biosphere\uffe2\uff80\uff93atmosphere interaction networks very similar to tropical forests. In times of anomalous conditions like droughts though, both ecosystems behave more like typical Mediterranean ecosystems during their dry season. Our results demonstrate that ecosystems from different climate zones or vegetation types have similar biosphere\uffe2\uff80\uff93atmosphere interactions if their meteorological conditions are similar. We anticipate our analysis to foster the use of network approaches, as they allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the state of ecosystem functioning. Long-term or even irreversible changes in network structure are rare and thus can be indicators of fundamental functional ecosystem shifts.

Rice (Oryza sativaL.), the main staple food in Asia, is typically produced on submerged anaerobic soils, which generally have slower decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) than aerobic soils. We sampled four long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term experiments in the Philippines, with two or three rice crops grown each year with continuous or near\uffe2\uff80\uff90continuous soil submergence, to determine the effect of fertilizer management on long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term changes in soil C and N and on C and N balances. Soils were an Aquandic Epiaquoll, an Entic Pellustert, and a Typic Pelludert; soil pH ranged from 5.9 to 6.7. After 17 to 21 yr of continuous rice cultivation, the concentration of total soil organic C (SOC) and total soil N (NT) in the topsoil (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9320 cm) were greater with N\uffe2\uff80\uff93P\uffe2\uff80\uff93K fertilization than without fertilization. During 15 yr of additional continuous rice cropping, topsoil SOC and NTwere consistently maintained or increased regardless of N\uffe2\uff80\uff93P\uffe2\uff80\uff93K fertilizer regime. Topsoil SOC increased up to 10% in an experiment with three rice crops per year and removal of all aboveground plant biomass after each crop. Subsoil SOC and NT(20\uffe2\uff80\uff9380 cm) were not affected by fertilization. The N balances indicated that biological N2fixation averaged 19 to 44 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921crop\uffe2\uff88\uff921across the four experiments. Anaerobic N mineralization (ANM) in the topsoil was maintained during 15 yr of continuous rice cropping with N\uffe2\uff80\uff93P\uffe2\uff80\uff93K fertilization in all four experiments. The results suggest that continuous cultivation of irrigated rice with balanced fertilization on submerged soils maintained or slightly increased SOM and maintained soil N\uffe2\uff80\uff90supplying capacity.

Abstract. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from running waters represent a key component of the global carbon cycle. However, quantifying CO2 fluxes across air\uffe2\uff80\uff93water boundaries remains challenging due to practical difficulties in the estimation of reach-scale standardized gas exchange velocities (k600) and water equilibrium concentrations. Whereas craft-made floating chambers supplied by internal CO2 sensors represent a promising technique to estimate CO2 fluxes from rivers, the existing literature lacks rigorous comparisons among differently designed chambers and deployment techniques. Moreover, as of now the uncertainty of k600 estimates from chamber data has not been evaluated. Here, these issues were addressed by analysing the results of a flume experiment carried out in the Summer of 2019 in the Lunzer:::Rinnen \uffe2\uff80\uff93 Experimental Facility (Austria). During the experiment, 100 runs were performed using two different chamber designs (namely, a standard chamber and a flexible foil chamber with an external floating system and a flexible sealing) and two different deployment modes (drifting and anchored). The runs were performed using various combinations of discharge and channel slope, leading to variable turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates (1.5\uffc3\uff9710-3<\uffce\uffb5<1\uffc3\uff9710-1\uffe2\uff80\uff89m2\uffe2\uff80\uff89s\uffe2\uff88\uff923). Estimates of gas exchange velocities were in line with the existing literature (4<k600<32\uffe2\uff80\uff89m2\uffe2\uff80\uff89s\uffe2\uff88\uff923), with a general increase in k600 for larger turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates. The flexible foil chamber gave consistent k600 patterns in response to changes in the slope and/or the flow rate. Moreover, acoustic Doppler velocimeter measurements indicated a limited increase in the turbulence induced by the flexible foil chamber on the flow field (22\uffe2\uff80\uff89% increase in \uffce\uffb5, leading to a theoretical 5\uffe2\uff80\uff89% increase in k600). The uncertainty in the estimate of gas exchange velocities was then estimated using a generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) procedure. Overall, uncertainty in k600 was moderate to high, with enhanced uncertainty in high-energy set-ups. For the anchored mode, the standard deviations of k600 were between 1.6 and 8.2\uffe2\uff80\uff89m\uffe2\uff80\uff89d\uffe2\uff88\uff921, whereas significantly higher values were obtained in drifting mode. Interestingly, for the standard chamber the uncertainty was larger (+\uffe2\uff80\uff8920\uffe2\uff80\uff89%) as compared to the flexible foil chamber. Our study suggests that a flexible foil design and the anchored deployment might be useful techniques to enhance the robustness and the accuracy of CO2 measurements in low-order streams. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the value of analytical and numerical tools in the identification of accurate estimations for gas exchange velocities. These findings have important implications for improving estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and reaeration rates in running waters.

Forest management practices such as prescribed burning and thinning are commonly used to restore degraded forest communities in the Southern Appalachians. Prescribed treatments influence physical and chemical properties of soils and change the balance of nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen. This study was conducted to investigate the initial impacts of prescribed burning, thinning and a combination of prescribed thinning and burning on total carbon and nitrogen pools, as well as other properties, in soil and forest floor. Effects of these disturbance regimes were tested on Typic Hapludults at the Bankhead National Forest in Northern Alabama. Results show that prescribed burning alone led to significant increases in total C and N contents in soil surface horizons. Burning alone also resulted in changes in exchangeable Na pools and significant increases in pH values throughout the study sites. Combination of prescribed thinning and burning did not result in significant changes in total C and N concentrations. However, significant increases in K and Na concentrations were observed in these sites. Prescribed thinning alone did not appear to impact total C and total N concentrations, soil acidity or exchangeable Ca and Mg concentrations, but caused significant increases in Na and decreases in K concentrations. Results of the study indicated that prescribed burning alone appeared to have a stronger impact on total C and N pools than a combination of prescribed thinning and burning. Use of prescribed thinning alone did not have any effect on total C and N pools in soils and forest floor. While prescribed burning alone and a combination of thinning and burning led to changes in exchangeable K and Na pools, no change was detected in either Ca or Mg concentrations.

The original two supplementation levels of selenium in multinutrient fertilizers (Se 16 and 6 mg kg-1 fertilizer as sodium selenate; started in 1985) were reduced to one (6 mg kg-1 fertilizer) in 1991. The 16 mg supplementation level was intended for use in cereal production. Due to the lowering of the level of Se application, the Se content of spring cereals (spring wheat, oats and barley) has decreased more than that of any other food in the monitoring programme. The present level, 0.1 mg kg-1 for cereal grains, is about 40% of the concentrations common in 1990. The Se concentrations have decreased less in other foods than in cereals. The present Se concentrations in milk products, meat and liver are about 70, 60 and 50%, respectively, of the concentrations in 1990. The average daily human Se intake was 0.08 mg day-1 at an energy level of 10 MJ in 1994. Animal protein is the main source of Se. About 40% of the intake comes from meat, 24% from dairy products and eggs, and 11% from fish.

The impacts of plantation forest management on soil C stocks in New Zealand need to be better understood for the purposes of C accounting under the Kyoto Protocol. We investigated the impacts of three harvest residue management treatments on C and N stocks in a scoriaceous forest soil: whole\uffe2\uff80\uff90tree harvesting plus forest floor removal, whole\uffe2\uff80\uff90tree harvesting, and stem\uffe2\uff80\uff90only harvesting. Volumetric samples were collected from the forest floor and three mineral soil depth increments (0\uffe2\uff80\uff930.1, 0.1\uffe2\uff80\uff930.2, and 0.2\uffe2\uff80\uff930.3 m) 16 to 17 yr after harvesting. Both fine (<2\uffe2\uff80\uff90mm) and coarse (>2\uffe2\uff80\uff90mm) fractions of the mineral soil were analyzed. No significant impacts on stocks of C and N were observed in the mineral soil fine fraction. Averaged across treatments, the 0\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 0.3\uffe2\uff80\uff90m mineral soil coarse fraction contained 5.2 \uffc2\uffb1 0.52 Mg C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921, representing 25% of total mineral soil C, with most derived from the fine\uffe2\uff80\uff90earth\uffe2\uff80\uff90coated scoria gravel. The inclusion of the coarse fraction stocks enabled the detection of significant treatment effects. Stem\uffe2\uff80\uff90only harvesting (residue retention) had significantly larger C stocks in the 0\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 0.1\uffe2\uff80\uff90m total mineral soil (fine + coarse fractions), forest floor, and total soil (forest floor + 0\uffe2\uff80\uff930.3\uffe2\uff80\uff90m total mineral soil) pools than whole\uffe2\uff80\uff90tree harvesting (residue removal) plus forest floor removal. We recommend the retention of both harvest residues and forest floor materials for the maintenance of soil C stocks in plantation forests. Detection of residue management impacts on C stocks in soils with vesicular gravels may require analysis of the coarse fraction.

Land use change is one of the anthropogenic interventions that may induce substantial modifications to both the quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM). Soils from three cultivated areas (two types of rainfed upland and one irrigated lowland) and two forests (subtropical managed and temperate unmanaged) in a midhill watershed of Nepal were studied to assess the effect of land use change on SOM quality. Bulk SOM was analyzed using solid\uffe2\uff80\uff90state13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and fractionated by acid hydrolysis into pools with different chemical composition and, thus, different tendencies to decomposition. The NMR analysis showed a clear prevalence of O\uffe2\uff80\uff90alkyl C over alkyl C and aromatic C, with major differences between both soils and two depth intervals of the same soil (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9320 and 20\uffe2\uff80\uff9340 cm). Acid hydrolysis revealed that the labile C pool is larger in the 0\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 20\uffe2\uff80\uff90 than the 20\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 40\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm soil depth of each land use. Labile C was larger in the temperate unmanaged forest and the irrigated cultivated land than in the other soils at both soil depths. Of the cultivated rainfed soils, the recently reclaimed soil contained less labile C than the historically cultivated soil, while the labile C in the irrigated soil exceeded that in both rainfed soils. The results suggest that changes in land use from forest to cultivation and the irrigation of the cultivated land may significantly affect not only the quantity but also the quality of the SOM and, more importantly, its chemical recalcitrance to degradation. As a consequence, any future decisions regarding land management in the fragile mountain areas of Nepal should be carefully considered with respect to the nature of the SOM.

Improvements in land use and management are needed at a global scale to tackle interconnected global challenges of population growth, poverty, migration, climate change, biodiversity loss, and degrading land and water resources. There are hundreds of technical options for improving the sustainability of land management and preventing or reversing degradation, but there are many sociocultural, institutional, economic, and policy barriers hindering their adoption at large scale. To tackle this challenge, the Dryland Systems Program of the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification convened an expert group to consider barriers and incentives to scaling technologies, processes, policies, or institutional arrangements. The group reviewed existing frameworks for scaling sustainable land management (SLM) interventions across a range of contexts and identified eight critical actions for success: (a) plan iteratively; (b) consistently fund; (c) select SLM options for scaling based on best available evidence; (d) identify and engage with stakeholders at all scales; (e) build capacity for scaling; (f) foster institutional leadership and policy change to support scaling; (g) achieve early benefits and incentives for as many stakeholders as possible; and (h) monitor, evaluate, and communicate. Incentives for scaling were identified for the private sector, farmers and their communities, and policy makers. Based on these findings, a new action framework for scaling is presented that analyses the contexts where specific SLM interventions can be scaled, so that SLM options can be screened and adapted to these contexts, piloted and disseminated. The framework can help countries achieve land degradation neutrality.This study compares three popular approaches to quantify the urban heat island (UHI) effect in Moscow megacity in a summer season (June-August 2015). The first approach uses the measurements of the near-surface air temperature obtained from weather stations, the second is based on remote sensing from thermal imagery of MODIS satellites, and the third is based on the numerical simulations with the mesoscale atmospheric model COSMO-CLM coupled with the urban canopy scheme TERRA_URB. The first approach allows studying the canopy-layer UHI (CLUHI, or anomaly of a near- surface air temperature), while the second allows studying the surface UHI (SUHI, or anomaly of a land surface temperature), and both types of the UHI could be simulated by the atmospheric model. These approaches were compared in the daytime, evening and nighttime conditions. The results of the study highlight a substantial difference between the SUHI and CLUHI in terms of the diurnal variation and spatial structure. The strongest differences are found at the daytime, at which the SUHI reaches the maximal intensity (up to 10\uffc2\uffb0\uffd0\uffa1) whereas the CLUHI reaches the minimum intensity (1.5\uffc2\uffb0\uffd0\uffa1). However, there is a stronger consistency between CLUHU and SUHI at night, when their intensities converge to 5\uffe2\uff80\uff936\uffc2\uffb0\uffd0\uffa1. In addition, the nighttime CLUHI and SUHI have similar monocentric spatial structure with a temperature maximum in the city center. The presented findings should be taken into account when interpreting and comparing the results of UHI studies, based on the different approaches. The mesoscale model reproduces the CLUHI-SUHI relationships and provides good agreement with in situ observations on the CLUHI spatiotemporal variations (with near-zero biases for daytime and nighttime CLUHI intensity and correlation coefficients more than 0.8 for CLUHI spatial patterns). However, the agreement of the simulated SUHI with the remote sensing data is lower than agreement of the simulated CLUHI with in situ measurements. Specifically, the model tends to overestimate the daytime SUHI intensity. These results indicate a need for further in-depth investigation of the model behavior and SUHI\uffe2\uff80\uff93CLUHI relationships in general.

Global warming leads to drastic changes in the diversity and structure of Arctic plant communities. Studies of functional diversity within the Arctic tundra biome have improved our understanding of plant responses to warming. However, these studies still show substantial unexplained variation in diversity responses. Complementary to functional diversity, phylogenetic diversity has been useful in climate change studies, but has so far been understudied in the Arctic. Here, we use a 25 year warming experiment to disentangle community responses in Arctic plant phylogenetic \uffce\uffb2 diversity across a soil moisture gradient. We found that responses varied over the soil moisture gradient, where meadow communities with intermediate to high soil moisture had a higher magnitude of response. Warming had a negative effect on soil moisture levels in all meadow communities, however meadows with intermediate moisture levels were more sensitive. In these communities, soil moisture loss was associated with earlier snowmelt, resulting in community turnover towards a more heath-like community. This process of \uffe2\uff80\uff98heathification\uffe2\uff80\uff99 in the intermediate moisture meadows was driven by the expansion of ericoid and Betula shrubs. In contrast, under a more consistent water supply Salix shrub abundance increased in wet meadows. Due to its lower stature, palatability and decomposability, the increase in heath relative to meadow vegetation can have several large scale effects on the local food web as well as climate. Our study highlights the importance of the hydrological cycle as a driver of vegetation turnover in response to Arctic climate change. The observed patterns in phylogenetic \uffce\uffb2 diversity were often driven by contrasting responses of species of the same functional growth form, and could thus provide important complementary information. Thus, phylogenetic diversity is an important tool in disentangling tundra response to environmental change.Urea is the primary N source used for the large preflood N application in delayed\uffe2\uff80\uff90flood rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in the southern United States. Urea is prone to substantial NH3 volatilization losses, however, if fields are not flooded quickly. Most delayed\uffe2\uff80\uff90flood rice fields require 5 to 10 d to flood. Consequently, a study was conducted to evaluate the use of less NH3\uffe2\uff80\uff93volatile N sources for the preflood N application. The objectives were to evaluate the NH3 volatilization loss and impact on N uptake and rice yield when urea, urea plus the urease inhibitor N\uffe2\uff80\uff90(n\uffe2\uff80\uff90butyl)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), (NH4)2SO4, or a urea\uffe2\uff80\uff90(NH4)2SO4 (UAS) blend were applied preflood and a flood established 1, 5, or 10 d after N application. When flooding was delayed for 5 or 10 d after N application, NH3 volatilization was the least for urea + NBPT (2\uffe2\uff80\uff9310%) and (NH4)2SO4 (4\uffe2\uff80\uff935%) and they produced the highest rice N uptake and yield. The UAS blend that had NH3 volatilization losses (11\uffe2\uff80\uff9315%) at 5 and 10 d after application that were intermediate between urea (17\uffe2\uff80\uff9324%) and (NH4)2SO4 or urea + NBPT also had N uptake and grain yield intermediate between these N sources. Urea should only be used if \uffe2\uff88\uffbc2 d are required to flood a field. If 3 to 5 d are required to flood a field, then UAS has some merits but it is not as consistent as (NH4)2SO4 or urea + NBPT. When >5 d are required to flood, (NH4)2SO4 or urea + NBPT should be used.

In semiarid agroecosystems of the Ebro valley (NE Spain) soils are characterized by low soil organic matter (SOM) and a weak structure. In this study we investigated the individual and combined effect of tillage system (no\uffe2\uff80\uff90tillage, NT; reduced tillage, RT; conventional tillage, CT) and cropping system (barley\uffe2\uff80\uff93fallow rotation at the Pe\uffc3\uffb1aflor site, PN\uffe2\uff80\uff90BF and continuous barley at the Pe\uffc3\uffb1aflor site, PN\uffe2\uff80\uff90BB) on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage as well as the physical protection of SOM fractions by soil aggregates in three long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term experimental sites. In both cropping systems, total SOC content was more than 30% higher in NT compared with CT in the 0\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 5\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm depth. The suppression of fallowing in the PN\uffe2\uff80\uff90BB cropping system led to a greater SOC stabilization only in NT. In all the three sites, greater proportion of water\uffe2\uff80\uff90stable macroaggregates (>250 \uffce\uffbcm) was found under NT than under CT in the 0\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 5\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm depth. Macroaggregate organic C concentration (250\uffe2\uff80\uff932000 \uffce\uffbcm) was greater in NT compared with CT in the BB cropping system, but did not differ with tillage treatment in the PN\uffe2\uff80\uff90BF rotation. Greater proportion of microaggregates within macroaggregates in NT compared with CT was only found in the Agramunt site (AG). However, greater C stabilized inside these microaggregates was observed in AG, Selvanera site (SV), and PN\uffe2\uff80\uff90BB in the 0\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 5\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm depth. The results of this study demonstrate that in the semiarid Mediterranean agroecosystems of the Ebro valley, the adoption of NT together with the suppression of long\uffe2\uff80\uff90fallowing period can significantly increase the amount of SOC stabilized in the soil surface and improve soil structure and aggregation.

&lt;p&gt;Soil organic matter (SOM) is important for soil fertility and climate change mitigation. Agricultural management - including soil amendments - can improve soil fertility and contribute to climate change mitigation by stabilising carbon in soils. This calls for cost-effective parameters to assess&amp;#160; the influence of management practices on SOM. The current study aimed at understanding how sensitive the parameters active/permanganate oxidisable carbon (AC) and nitrogen mineralisation potential (NMP) react to different agricultural management practices compared to total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (Nt). We aimed to gain a better understanding of SOM processes, mainly regarding depth distribution and seasonality of SOM dynamics using AC and NMP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Data were obtained in five Austrian long-term field experiments (LTEs) testing four management practices: i) tillage, ii) compost application, iii) crop residue management, and iv) mineral fertilisation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC was specifically sensitive in detecting the effect of tillage treatment at different soil depths. NMP differentiated between all different tillage treatments in the top soil layer, it showed the temporal dynamics between the years in the compost LTE, and it was identified as an early detection property in the crop residue LTE. Both AC and NMP detected short-term fluctuations better than TOC and Nt over the course of two years in the crop residue LTE. Thus, we suggest that AC and NMP are two valuable soil biochemical parameters providing more detailed information on C and N dynamics regarding depth distribution and seasonal dynamics and react more sensitively to different agricultural management practices compared to TOC and Nt. They should be integrated in monitoring agricultural LTEs and in field analyses conducted by farmers. However, when evaluating results of long-term carbon storage, their sensitivity towards annual fluctuations should be taken into account.&lt;/p&gt;

Low\uffe2\uff80\uff90temperature pyrolysis of biomass produces a product known as biochar The incorporation of this material into the soil has been advocated as a C sequestration method. Biochar also has the potential to influence the soil N cycle by altering nitrification rates and by adsorbing or NH3 Biochar can be incorporated into the soil during renovation of intensively managed pasture soils. These managed pastures are a significant source of N2O, a greenhouse gas, produced in ruminant urine patches. We hypothesized that biochar effects on the N cycle could reduce the soil inorganic\uffe2\uff80\uff90N pool available for N2O\uffe2\uff80\uff90producing mechanisms. A laboratory study was performed to examine the effect of biochar incorporation into soil (20 Mg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) on N2O\uffe2\uff80\uff90N and NH3\uffe2\uff80\uff93N fluxes, and inorganic\uffe2\uff80\uff90N transformations, following the application of bovine urine (760 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921). Treatments included controls (soil only and soil plus biochar), and two urine treatments (soil plus urine and soil plus biochar plus urine). Fluxes of N2O from the biochar plus urine treatment were generally higher than from urine alone during the first 30 d, but after 50 d there was no significant difference (P = 0.11) in terms of cumulative N2O\uffe2\uff80\uff90N emitted as a percentage of the urine N applied during the 53\uffe2\uff80\uff90d period; however, NH3\uffe2\uff80\uff93N fluxes were enhanced by approximately 3% of the N applied in the biochar plus urine treatment compared with the urine\uffe2\uff80\uff90only treatment after 17 d. Soil inorganic\uffe2\uff80\uff90N pools differed between treatments, with higher concentrations in the presence of biochar, indicative of lower rates of nitrification. The inorganic\uffe2\uff80\uff90N pool available for N2O\uffe2\uff80\uff90producing mechanisms was not reduced, however, by adding biochar.

A sandy prairie remnant in the Lower Wisconsin River Valley, encroachment areas within the prairie, and an adjacent red pine (Pinus resinosaAiton) plantation were studied to determine the influence of woody cover on C dynamics. Field transects, aerial imagery, and a geographic information system were used to quantify encroachment from 1979 to 2002. A linear encroachment model predicted 100% encroachment of the 6.0\uffe2\uff80\uff90ha prairie in 50 yr. Four field plots in each of pine, prairie, and encroachment areas were sampled and soils collected (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9318, 18\uffe2\uff80\uff9338, and 38\uffe2\uff80\uff9375 cm) in 2004 and 2008. Total ecosystem C was greater in pine (126.6 Mg C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) and encroachment areas (71.8 Mg C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) than prairie (48.3 Mg C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921). In the 0 to 38 cm, coarse particulate organic matter (POM) (4.1, 6.3, and 7.5 Mg C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) and the POM C/N ratio (15.1, 16.2, and 20.2) increased with woody encroachment (prairie, encroachment areas, and pine, respectively). Changes in POM suggest more organic inputs and slower decomposition, but due to minimal protection of C within aggregates, increased total soil C was not observed with woody advancement (46.4\uffe2\uff80\uff9347.2 Mg C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921). Microbial biomass (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9338 cm) was greatest in encroachment areas, followed by prairie, and then pine (108, 84, and 51 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921, respectively), probably a result of more favorable microclimate and substrate at the ecotone boundary. Potential N mineralization (0.6, 2.8, and 4.8 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921d\uffe2\uff88\uff921), extractable NH4+(28, 33, and 57 kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921), and Bray\uffe2\uff80\uff901 P (380, 402, and 541 kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9338 cm) increased with woody cover, and increased nutrient availability could lead to a greater aboveground C sink through increased tree growth.

Significant models predicting Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and other chemical and biological indicators of soil health in an experimental farm with semi-arid Mediterranean Calcisol have been obtained by partial least squares (PLS) regression, with mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of whole soil samples used as independent variables (IVs). The dependent variables (DVs) included SOC, pH, electric conductivity, N, P2O5, K, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn. The DVs also included free-living nematodes and microbivores, such as Rhabditids and Cephalobids, and phytoparasitics, such as Xiphinema spp. and other Dorylaimids. More importantly, an attempt was made to determine which spectral patterns allowed each dependent variable (DV) to be predicted. For this purpose, a number of statistical indices were plotted between 4000 and 450 cm\u22121, e.g., variable importance for prediction (VIP) and beta coefficients from PLS, loading factors from principal component analysis (PCA) and correlation and determination indices. The most effective plots, however, were the \u201cscaled subtraction spectra\u201d (SSS) obtained by subtracting the averages of groups of spectra in order to reproduce the spectral patterns typical in soils where the values of each DV are higher, or vice versa. For instance, distinct SSS resembled the spectra of carbonate, clay, oxides and SOC, whose varying concentrations enabled the prediction of the different DVs.

In 2004, we established eight research plots in riparian areas with >50% basal area in hemlock and four reference plots in riparian areas without hemlock (hardwood). All hemlock plots were infested with HWA. In four of the hemlock plots, all hemlock trees were girdled to induce defoliation and rapid mortality.

Measurements included soil temperature and moisture, nutrient pools, N transformations, litterfall and forest fl oor amount and chemistry, and throughfall and soil solution chemistry. From 2004 to 2008, litterfall composition changed, with an initial increase in the hemlock needle percentage followed by a decline.

When tested in river water, the sensor achieved a detection limit of 0.96 \u00b5M using differential pulse voltammetry. It also exceptionally tolerated interference from similar organophosphorus compounds and ions commonly found in river water. The excellent detection performance of the sensor was attributed to the strong coordination interactions between Zn atoms and phosphonate/carboxylate groups that are enhanced by a hydrogen bond at acidic pH, as determined by chemical calculations.

The WR model is composed of 3 sub-models concerning (1) soil water storage, (2) P and sediment loss in runoff, and (3) N leaching in percolating water. The WR decision support model was validated using a representative dataset of 94 field sites from across Europe and had an overall accuracy of 75% when compared to the empirically derived values across these sites. This highly accurate, reliable, and useful decision support model for assessing the capacity of agricultural soils to perform the WR function can be used by farmers and advisors help manage and protect their soil resources for the future.

Afforestation (tree establishment on nonforested land) is a management option for increasing terrestrial C sequestration and mitigating rising atmospheric carbon dioxide because, compared to nonforested land uses, afforestation increases C storage in aboveground pools. However, because terrestrial ecosystems typically store most of their C in soils, afforestation impacts on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage are critical components of ecosystem C budgets. We applied synthesis methods to identify the magnitude and drivers of afforestation impacts on SOC, and the temporal and vertical distributions of SOC change during afforestation in the United States. Meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis of 39 papers from 1957 to 2010 indicated that previous land use drives afforestation impacts on SOC in mineral soils (overall average = +21%), but mined and other industrial lands (+173%) and wildlands (+31%) were the only groups that specifically showed categorically significant increases. Temporal patterns of SOC increase were statistically significant on former industrial and agricultural lands (assessed by continuous meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis), and suggested that meaningful SOC increases require \uffe2\uff89\uffa515 and 30 yr of afforestation, respectively. Meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis of 13C data demonstrated the greatest SOC changes occur at the surface soil of the profile, although partial replacement of C stocks derived from previous land uses was frequently detectable below 1 m. A geospatial analysis of 409 profiles from the National Soil Carbon Network database supported 13C meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis results, indicating that transition from cultivation to forest increased A horizon SOC by 32%. In sum, our findings demonstrate that afforestation has significant, positive effects on SOC sequestration in the United States, although these effects require decades to manifest and primarily occur in the uppermost (and perhaps most vulnerable) portion of the mineral soil profile.

Food insecurity is a multidimensional and intricate problem, known to have significant implications for individuals, communities, and countries worldwide. Africa has become the continent that is experiencing this uncertainty the most. Food Security (FS) encompasses several aspects such as availability, accessibility, nutrient use, and supply system stability with time and, more recently, other obliges to governance/agency and sustainability. Knowing the interconnection between these aspects and the Ecosystems Services (ES) and understanding the relationship and interactions between FS and ES is important. Moreover, this knowledge may contribute to supporting policies that promote long-term sustainable and secure food systems. Hereby, a conceptual framework is presented, that examines interactions between food insecurity drivers and ecosystem change drivers and the combined influence on ES. Our review further introduces existing trade-offs between ES on account of agricultural intensification vs. key existing strategies to promote sustainable agricultural production. These strategies include climate-smart agriculture, sustainably managed land, and effective handling of water resources. In the end, the potential of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), as a suitable approach to ensuring these strategies are adopted, especially in African countries where sustainable financial incentives are currently under-explored is discussed. In resume, this review aims to make a conceptual contribution to understanding how drivers of food insecurity influence drivers of ecosystem changes, the impact of these influences on the services of ecosystems, and how sustainable agro approaches and PES introduction can help to reduce such negative impacts.

However, how different mycorrhizal types influence mountain forest biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships is largely unknown. We evaluate how the diversity of distinct mycorrhiza-associated fungi and trees shape forest carbon storage along elevational gradients. Location: Gaoligong Mountains within Hengduan Mountains, Southwest China. Taxon: Seed plants and mycorrhizal fungi. Methods: We used the data from 31 subtropical forest plots along elevational gradients on two aspects (east and west) of the mountain. We quantified species richness of trees and symbiotic fungi and assigned both to their mycorrhizal type (arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), ectomycorrhiza (EcM) and ericoid mycorrhiza (ErM)). We then examined the diversity effects of mycorrhiza-associated fungi and trees on above-ground carbon stored in trees and organic carbon stored in soils. Results: Species richness was highest for AM trees (79.5%), followed by ErM trees (13.4%) and then EcM trees (7.1%). Species richness of AM-associated trees and fungi decreased with increasing elevation, while ErM-associated trees and fungi showed an opposite trend. EcM-associated diversity followed a hump-shaped relationship with elevation. Positive relationships between diversity and above-ground carbon were detected in all three mycorrhizal associations, but despite low species number, canopy-dominating EcM trees comprised 64.4% of the amount of above-ground carbon. Furthermore, community-weighted means of height exhibited positive correlations with forest above-ground carbon, indicating that positive selection effects occur. Soil organic carbon was positively related to EcM-associated fungi diversity, above-ground carbon mass and soil nitrogen availability, with the latter having the strongest direct effects. Main conclusions: The distributions of forest biodiversity and carbon storage can be modulated by distinct mycorrhizal fungi and trees.

These differences were attributed to N inputs from decomposing slash and to the reduction in the biomass of N2 fixers by burning.

A meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis using 77 studies from 28 countries was performed to assess the effect of hardwood vs. conifer overstory on soil organic C (SOC) storage in forest floor (FF), mineral soil, and whole soil (FF + mineral soil). Overall, FF stocks were 38% higher under conifers, mineral SOC stocks were similar, and whole soil SOC was 14% higher under conifers. An analysis with six of the seven most reported tree genera reaffirmed higher FF and whole soil C stocks under conifer stands. Analysis with all seven of the genera showed more pronounced variability in mineral SOC results compared with the overall results.Eucalyptuswas the only hardwood that stored significantly (17%) more SOC in the mineral soil than adjacent conifers.Piceawas the only conifer that stored significantly (7%) more SOC in the mineral soil than hardwoods. Differences in FF SOC stocks had a limited predictive power in explaining the variability of mineral SOC stock differences, suggesting that they are not very closely linked with regard to SOC storage. Only when comparing FF SOC stocks among genera did precipitation, age difference, soil texture, and previous land use moderate SOC storage differences between conifers and hardwoods. In other cases, neither climate nor soil variables could explain differences between SOC stocks. Our findings suggest that using plant\uffe2\uff80\uff90trait\uffe2\uff80\uff90driven vegetation categories may be a more descriptive way of detecting vegetation effects on SOC.

This study focuses on the valorization of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (biopulp) by hydrothermal liquefaction. Thereby, homogeneous alkali catalysts (KOH, NaOH, K2CO3, and Na2CO3) and a residual aqueous phase recirculation methodology were mutually employed to enhance the bio-crude yield and energy efficiency of a sub-critical hydrothermal conversion (350 \uffc2\uffb0C, 15\uffe2\uff80\uff9320 Mpa, 15 min). Interestingly, single recirculation of the concentrated aqueous phase positively increased the bio-crude yield in all cases, while the higher heating value (HHV) of the bio-crudes slightly dropped. Compared to the non-catalytic experiment, K2CO3 and Na2CO3 effectively increased the bio-crude yield by 14 and 7.3%, respectively. However, KOH and NaOH showed a negative variation in the bio-crude yield. The highest bio-crude yield (37.5 wt.%) and energy recovery (ER) (59.4%) were achieved when K2CO3 and concentrated aqueous phase recirculation were simultaneously applied to the process. The inorganics distribution results obtained by ICP reveal the tendency of the alkali elements to settle into the aqueous phase, which, if recovered, can potentially boost the circularity of the HTL process. Therefore, wise selection of the alkali catalyst along with aqueous phase recirculation assists hydrothermal liquefaction in green biofuel production and environmentally friendly valorization of biopulp.

Newborn dairy ruminants are usually separated from their dams after birth and fed on milk replacer. This lack of contact with adult animals may hinder the rumen microbiological and physiological development. This study evaluates the effects of rearing newborn goat kids in contact with adult companions on the rumen development. Thirty-two newborn goat kids were randomly allocated to two experimental groups which were reared either in the absence (CTL) or in the presence of non-lactating adult goats (CMP) and weaned at 7 weeks of age. Blood and rumen samples were taken at 5, 7, and 9 weeks of age to evaluate blood metabolites and rumen microbial fermentation. Next-generation sequencing was carried out on rumen samples collected at 7 weeks of age. Results showed that CTL kids lacked rumen protozoa, whereas CMP kids had an abundant and complex protozoal community as well as higher methanogen abundance which positively correlated with the body weight and blood \uffce\uffb2-hydroxybutyrate as indicators of the physiological development. CMP kids also had a more diverse bacterial community (+132 ASVs) and a different structure of the bacterial and methanogen communities than CTL kids. The core rumen bacterial community in CMP animals had 53 more ASVs than that of CTL animals. Furthermore, the number of ASVs shared with the adult companions was over 4-fold higher in CMP kids than in CTL kids. Greater levels of early rumen colonizers Proteobacteria and Spirochaetes were found in CTL kids, while CMP kids had higher levels of Bacteroidetes and other less abundant taxa (Veillonellaceae, Cyanobacteria, and Selenomonas). These findings suggest that the presence of adult companions facilitated the rumen microbial development prior to weaning. This accelerated microbial development had no effect on the animal growth, but CMP animals presented higher rumen pH and butyrate (+45%) and ammonia concentrations than CTL kids, suggesting higher fibrolytic and proteolytic activities. CMP kids also had higher blood \uffce\uffb2-hydroxybutyrate (+79%) and lower blood glucose concentrations (-23%) at weaning, indicating an earlier metabolic development which could favor the transition from pre-ruminant to ruminant after the weaning process. Further research is needed to determine the effects of this intervention in more challenging farm conditions.

It is known that variability in the characteristics of soil physical microenvironments, e.g., locations and characteristics of soil pores, can have a major influence on microorganisms. This study compared the characteristics of intra\uffe2\uff80\uff90aggregate pores and their relationships with bacterial community composition in 4\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 6\uffe2\uff80\uff90mm soil macroaggregates from two contrasting agricultural systems, namely a corn (Zea mays L.)\uffe2\uff80\uff93soybean [Glycine max (L.)

Relative abundances of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes in the aggregates from cover\uffe2\uff80\uff90crop\uffe2\uff80\uff90based management were positively correlated with the presence of large (>110 \uffce\uffbcm) pores, while the presence of medium\uffe2\uff80\uff90sized pores (32\uffe2\uff80\uff9384 \uffce\uffbcm) was significantly correlated with 30 to 40% of the top 100 bacterial operational taxonomic units identified during sequencing. The results suggested that the legacy of rhizosphere presence in terms of intra\uffe2\uff80\uff90aggregate pore structure and microbial community composition can last in the studied soil for at least 4 to 9 mo. Our study demonstrated that working with bulk sieved soil samples can mask substantial differences present within distinct soil aggregate units.

Lupinus mutabilis Sweet is an Andean protein crop with agro-economic potential. However, it is characterized by low yields and phenotypic plasticity related to environmental conditions when cultivated in different locations in Europe. Current research objective was to evaluate L. mutabilis agro-morphological performance in two locations in Greece and to record its pollinators, since these can contribute to optimization of crop performance. For this purpose, eight Andean lupin accessions, one white and one blue lupin commercial varieties were evaluated for 71 agro-morphological traits in a Randomized Complete Block design with three replications. Combined Analysis over Location presented a significant accession-location interaction for traits of economic interest such as seed crude protein and 100 seed weight. Seed crude protein was higher in L. mutabilis accessions (up to 43.8 g 100 g\u22121 seed) than white and blue lupins. Andean lupin yielded up to 327 kg ha\u22121 (LIB214) in Kalamata, while its yield was lower than the white lupin in Athens. Using principal component analysis, three groups of accessions were formed, one by each lupin species and three within Andean lupin accessions. Floral traits such as color and size are related to pollinators diversity and preference. Insect pollinators and floral traits interplay among different lupin species was examined. Pollinators visited L. mutabilis flowers belong to the genera Anthophora, Bombus, Megachile and Xylocopa. The results of the present study, indicate that L.mutabilis has agronomic potential and enhances above ground biodiversity, however breeding for higher yields is required.

Organic treatments significantly enhanced soil organic C, total N, and most enzymes activities.

The highest soil organic C, total N, and enzyme activities were existed in 200\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 63\uffe2\uff80\uff90\uffce\uffbcm fraction.

Soil organic C, total N, C/N ratio, \uffce\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff90glucosidase, sulfatase, \uffce\uffb2\uffe2\uff80\uff90glucosidase, \uffce\uffb2\uffe2\uff80\uff90cellobiohydrolase, and phenol oxidase activities were significantly correlated with phospholipid fatty acids.

A long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term experiment was established in 1981 to examine the influence of mineral and organic fertilizer on soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), enzyme activities, and microbial community composition. In this study, we considered 33 yr of the following fertilizer treatments: no fertilizer (control, CK), fertilizer N (N), fertilizer N and P (NP), fertilizer N, P and K (NPK), manure plus fertilizer N, P and K (NPKM), and manure (M). We focused on yellow\uffe2\uff80\uff90brown paddy soil and its particle\uffe2\uff80\uff90size fractions of >2000 \uffc2\uffb5m (large macroaggregate sized), 2000\uffe2\uff80\uff93200 \uffc2\uffb5m (coarse sand sized), 200\uffe2\uff80\uff9363 \uffc2\uffb5m (fine sand sized), 63\uffe2\uff80\uff932 \uffc2\uffb5m (silt sized), and 2\uffe2\uff80\uff930.1 \uffc2\uffb5m (clay sized). Nutrient concentrations and enzymes, affected by fertilizer treatment and particle fraction, were unevenly active throughout the soils which showed significantly highest concentration and activity in the fine sand fraction, except sulfatase (Sul). However, the coarse sand fraction contributed the largest SOC, TN, and enzyme pools to bulk soil, followed by silt\uffe2\uff80\uff90sized and large macroaggregate\uffe2\uff80\uff90sized fractions. Compared with NPK, NPKM, and M treatments significantly improved SOC, TN, phosphatase (Pho), \uffce\uffb2\uffe2\uff80\uff90glucosidase (\uffce\uffb2G), \uffce\uffb2\uffe2\uff80\uff90cellobiohydrolase (\uffce\uffb2CB), N\uffe2\uff80\uff90acetyl\uffe2\uff80\uff90glucosaminidase (NAG), \uffce\uffb2\uffe2\uff80\uff90xylosidase (\uffce\uffb2X), phenol oxidase (PhOx), peroxidase activities, and the total phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) abundance of soil fractions. Manure also accelerated SOC, TN, and most enzymes accumulation in coarse sand fraction at the expense of clay fraction. Principal component analysis (PCA) of microbial community composition showed a smaller variability in particle\uffe2\uff80\uff90size fractions than treatments which suggested a considerable effect of soil nutrient availability on microbial community composition. Redundancy analysis (RDA) also convinced SOC, TN, C/N ratio, \uffce\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff90glucosidase (\uffce\uffb1G), Sul, \uffce\uffb2G, \uffce\uffb2CB, and PhOx activities significantly governed microbial community in this study. Our results conveyed long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term application of organic fertilizers contributed to the increase of SOC, TN, and most enzyme activities in bulk soil and particle fractions, along with abundant and diverse microbial community in fine sand fraction and other organic treated soil fractions.

Soil organic carbon (OC) influences clay dispersibility, which affects soil tilth conditions and the risk of vertical migration of clay colloids. No universal lower threshold of OC has been identified for satisfactory stabilization of soil structure. We tested the concept of clay saturation with OC as a predictor of clay dispersibility and soil friability. Soil was sampled 3 yr in a field varying in clay content (\uffe2\uff88\uffbc100 to \uffe2\uff88\uffbc220 g kg\uffe2\uff88\uff921 soil) and grown with different crop rotations. Clay dispersibility was measured after end\uffe2\uff80\uff90over\uffe2\uff80\uff90end shaking of field\uffe2\uff80\uff90moist soil and 1\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 2\uffe2\uff80\uff90mm sized aggregates either air\uffe2\uff80\uff90dried or rewetted to \uffe2\uff88\uff92100 hPa matric potential. Tensile strength of 1\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 2\uffe2\uff80\uff90, 2\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 4\uffe2\uff80\uff90, 4\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 8\uffe2\uff80\uff90, and 8\uffe2\uff80\uff90 to 16\uffe2\uff80\uff90mm air\uffe2\uff80\uff90dried aggregates was calculated from their compressive strength, and soil friability estimated from the strength\uffe2\uff80\uff93volume relation. Crop rotation characteristics gave only minor effects on clay dispersibility and no detectable effects on soil friability. Dispersed clay correlated to soil content of clay, but the correlation increased if subtracting a fraction assumed protected by OC. This trend was less convincing for soil tensile strength and friability. Increased clay dispersibility and reduced soil friability for 1 yr of measurements could be ascribed to wet conditions for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) harvest and tillage the preceding year. Literature data indicate soils' content of clay and silt (Fines20) to be a better predictor of specific surface area than clay. We conclude that a clay/OC ratio of 10 and a Fines20/OC ratio of 20 may serve as corresponding thresholds for clay dispersibility, the latter probably best reflecting organo\uffe2\uff80\uff90mineral interactions of importance to the soil physical properties.

The remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a wide range of ecosystem services presents major challenges to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress in soil models has occurred in the last decades, models of soil processes remain disjointed between disciplines or ecosystem services, with considerable uncertainty remaining in the quality of predictions and several challenges that remain yet to be addressed. First, there is a need to improve exchange of knowledge and experience among the different disciplines in soil science and to reach out to other Earth science communities. Second, the community needs to develop a new generation of soil models based on a systemic approach comprising relevant physical, chemical, and biological processes to address critical knowledge gaps in our understanding of soil processes and their interactions. Overcoming these challenges will facilitate exchanges between soil modeling and climate, plant, and social science modeling communities. It will allow us to contribute to preserve and improve our assessment of ecosystem services and advance our understanding of climate\uffe2\uff80\uff90change feedback mechanisms, among others, thereby facilitating and strengthening communication among scientific disciplines and society. We review the role of modeling soil processes in quantifying key soil processes that shape ecosystem services, with a focus on provisioning and regulating services. We then identify key challenges in modeling soil processes, including the systematic incorporation of heterogeneity and uncertainty, the integration of data and models, and strategies for effective integration of knowledge on physical, chemical, and biological soil processes. We discuss how the soil modeling community could best interface with modern modeling activities in other disciplines, such as climate, ecology, and plant research, and how to weave novel observation and measurement techniques into soil models. We propose the establishment of an international soil modeling consortium to coherently advance soil modeling activities and foster communication with other Earth science disciplines. Such a consortium should promote soil modeling platforms and data repository for model development, calibration and intercomparison essential for addressing contemporary challenges.

Soil quality indicates the soil\u2019s ability to provide ecosystem services. Reducing the tillage intensity has been suggested as an alternative to conventional tillage for sustaining soil quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of soil tillage systems on individual soil quality indicators in comparison to those on grassland with Stagnic Luvisol soil in Estonia. Four soil management systems were compared: no-tillage (NT), minimum tillage (MT), conventional tillage (CT) and grassland (G) as a reference. Soil quality indicators included physical (bulk density, water-stable aggregates, porosity, air-filled pores, moisture content, water-holding capacity, penetration resistance and water permeability), chemical (total N, total soil organic C, permanganate oxidisable C, pH, P, K, Ca and Mg) and biological (earthworm abundance) parameters. CT soils had a significantly lower aggregate stability compared to MT and G soils. The higher penetration resistance of CT under an arable layer suggested the presence of a plough pan. NT improved the soil\u2019s physical quality at 5\u201310 cm, which was indicated by higher moisture content, water-holding capacity and porosity and a lower bulk density, whereas penetration resistance exceeded 2 MPa in the lower part of the topsoil. NT also had significantly lower total soil organic C and total N compared to MT and G. The absence of tillage in the NT and G systems may have improved the soil\u2019s resistance to moisture loss under dry conditions, which, in turn, improved the soil habitability for earthworms a despite higher density. In general, NT or MT stabilised or increased the soil quality compared to CT.

Models for bacterial colonization of root tips require root growth kinematics.

Rates of root elongation and bacterial attachment affect exposure to root exudates.

Microbial attachment to roots contributes to dispersion of microbes in soil.

The root cap may play a role in the maintenance of bacteria at the tip.

Microbial activity in the soil surrounding plant roots contributes to nutrient bioavailability, crop growth, and soil biodiversity and fertility. Colonization of the rhizosphere and the rhizoplane in particular requires early establishment on root surfaces where sources of nutrients are abundant. In this study, we investigated the physical interactions taking place between bacteria and the root surface when a root tip enters unexplored regions of soil. We developed a theoretical framework that generalizes the prevailing approaches for describing root growth kinematics and bacterial growth and adhesion on root surfaces. We found that the root elongation rate, bacterial attachment rate, and root cap carrying capacity are key traits for successful establishment. Models also indicate that chemotaxis is more important for radial transport and adhesion than for longitudinal movement of bacteria. Controls on bacterial attachment are required for both efficient root colonization and subsequent dispersal of bacteria in soil. The findings of this study help to understand the establishment of the structure and composition of microbial communities in soil.

We hypothesized that plant exudates gel soil particles and on drying enhance water repellency.

This has been carried out using rhizosphere\uffe2\uff80\uff90scale mechanical and hydraulic measurements.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Optic) and maize (Zea mays L. cv. Freya) root exudates were compared with chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed exudate, a commonly used root exudate analog.

Soil hardness and modulus of elasticity were measured at \uffe2\uff88\uff9210 kPa matric potential using a 3\uffe2\uff80\uff90mm\uffe2\uff80\uff90diameter spherical indenter. The water sorptivity and repellency index of air\uffe2\uff80\uff90dry soil were measured using a miniaturized infiltrometer device with a 1\uffe2\uff80\uff90mm tip radius. Soil hardness increased by 28% for barley root exudate, 62% for maize root exudate, and 86% for chia seed exudate at 4.6 mg g\uffe2\uff88\uff921 concentration in the sandy loam soil. For the clay loam soil, root exudates did not affect soil hardness, whereas chia seed exudate increased soil hardness by 48% at 4.6 mg g\uffe2\uff88\uff921 concentration. Soil water repellency increased by 48% for chia seed exudate and 23% for maize root exudate but not for barley root exudate at 4.6 mg g\uffe2\uff88\uff921 concentration in the sandy loam soil. For the clay loam soil, chia seed exudate increased water repellency by 45%, whereas root exudates did not affect water repellency at 4.6 mg g\uffe2\uff88\uff921 concentration. Water sorptivity and repellency were both correlated with hardness, presumably due to the combined influence of exudates on the hydrological and mechanical properties of the soils.

The NEGFRY system is presented in this research work as a novelty strategy for the control of potato late blight in A Limia (NW Spain). The aim was to analyse the number of fungicide applications established by NEGFRY (Decision Support System, DSS) with respect to the routine calendars of this potato production area. This approach is in accordance with the requirements imposed by European policies, participating in more profitable and environmentally friendly agriculture. For this purpose, the relationships between the pathogen and the environmental conditions and epidemiological parameters were analysed in different plots compared to late blight infection in both Routine and DSS strategies. In addition, economic and environmental impacts of fungicide sprays were also analysed to check the adaptability of the decision support system to late blight in the area. Results confirmed that it is possible to reduce sprays following the NEGFRY model by more than 50% compared with Routine applications. Therefore, NEGFRY is a promising strategy to achieve lower footprint potato yields through a reduction in applied pesticides and water, lower gas emissions and less soil compaction due to a reduction in the number of tractor passes over the soil. The commitment to this strategy contributes to improving the economy of farmers, the health of the biodiversity, the environment and consumers, as well as to comply with demands of global economies in terms of more sustainable and resilient agriculture.

However, how extreme drought affects root exudates and the main components, as well as species-specific differences in response magnitude and direction, are poorly understood. In this study, root exudation rates of total carbon (C) and its components (e.g., sugar, organic acid, and amino acid) were measured under the control and extreme drought treatments (i.e., 70% throughfall reduction) by in situ collection of four tree species with different growth rates in a subtropical forest. We also quantified soil properties, root morphological traits, and mycorrhizal infection rates to examine the driving factors underlying variations in root exudation. Our results showed that extreme drought significantly decreased root exudation rates of total C, sugar, and amino acid by 17.8%, 30.8%, and 35.0%, respectively, but increased root exudation rate of organic acid by 38.6%, which were largely associated with drought-induced changes in tree growth rates, root morphological traits, and mycorrhizal infection rates. Specifically, trees with relatively high growth rates were more responsive to drought for root exudation rates compared to those with relatively low growth rates, which were closely related to root morphological traits and mycorrhizal infection rates. These findings highlight the importance of plant growth strategy in mediating drought-induced changes in root exudation rates.
