Field I.  The field experiment was established in 2024 in the experimental area of the Czech Agrifood Research Center in Prague \u2013 Ruzyn\u011b (previously Crop Research Institute). The experiment took place at the site of the experiment that had been running there since 2013 and included 5 different herbicide treatments in 4 replications (Mayerov\u00e1 et al. 2018)  The new trial area was split into 20 randomised plots with 2 different herbicide treatments in 8 replications and control without herbicides in 4 replications. Herbicide treatments differed in the mode of action (Table 1)  Table 1. Summary of the herbicides and active ingredients used in the trial.

Herbicides were applied post emergency in spring (April 26, 2024) from the tillering crop stage to the beginning of stem elongation (BBCH 21\u201331) by the Agrio-Napa 12 sprayer. Winter wheat was grown in the experimental field in 2024. At the beginning of March, it was mineral fertilized with LAD (ammonium nitrate with dolomite - NH4NO3\u00a0+\u00a0CaMg (CO3)2; 27 % N) at a dose 100 kg/ha.   Mixed disturbed soil samples for microbiological and physicochemical analyses were taken from the 0-15cm upper soil layer in each replication before herbicide application (April 24, 2024), 14 days after herbicide application (May 9, 2024) and 7 weeks after herbicide application (June 14, 2024). \u00a0A total of 20 soil samples were collected at each sampling. The soil samples were subsequently dried and sieved through a 2 mm sieve, thus simultaneously homogenised. The following soil properties were determined: pH (H2O), electric conductivity, available P and K, concentration NH4 and NO3, soil organic carbon, and total organic nitrogen content. Available P and K were assessed according to the Mehlich III method (Mehlich, 1984) on an Agilant ICP-OES 5110 VDV instrument. NO3 and NH4 were determined using calcium chloride solution as extractant according to ISO 14255:1998 on automated chemistry analyser SKALAR. Soil organic carbon and soil organic matter content were determined by sulfochromic oxidation according to ISO 14235:1998.   Field II  The field experiment was established in 2024 in the experimental area of the Czech Agrifood Research Center in Prague \u2013 Ruzyn\u011b (previously Crop Research Institute). The total area of the experiment is about 11 ha including the protective area around the entire experiment. The experimental area is divided into two halves, 120m wide and 300m long.\u00a0 One half was treated on June 17, 2024, with insecticide Decis forte (active ingredient deltamethrin) at a dose 62.5ml/ha, the other half was without insecticide treatment. Both areas are further divided into other halves. One half was treated on May 15, 2024, with herbicide Agritox (active ingredient MCPA) at a dose 1.5l/ha, the other was treated with hoeing only. We thus obtained 4 strips 60m wide with following treatment combinations: (A) herbicide + insecticide; (B) hoeing + insecticide; (C) hoeing; (D) herbicide. Spring wheat was grown in the experimental field in 2024. It was fertilized with mineral nitrogen at a dose of 150 kg N/ha before sowing and with 39 kg N/ha (DAM 390 - ammonium nitrate with urea) in the tillering phenophase.  In the middle of each strip (i.e. treatment), 8 sampling sites were marked in a row, 20 m apart from each other. Mixed disturbed soil samples for microbiological and physicochemical analyses were taken from the 0-15cm upper soil layer at each sampling site 14 days after herbicide application and 14 days after insecticide application. A total of 32 soil samples were collected at each sampling. Further sample processing was the same as for Field I.  The database will be gradually supplemented in the following years.

This paper summarizes the results of a study in which N2O emission rates were recorded on 15\u201326 occasions during a 12-month period in organic and conventional dairy crop rotations in five European countries (Austria, Denmark, Finland, Italy, UK). A common methodology based on static chambers was used for N2O flux measurements, and N2O data were compiled together with information about N inputs (from fertilizers, N2 fixation, atmospheric deposition and excretal returns), crop rotations and soil properties. Organic rotations received only manure as N fertilizer, while manure accounted for 0\u2013100% of fertilizer N in conventional rotations. A linear regression model was used to examine effects of location, system and crop category on N2O emissions, while a second model examined effects of soil properties. Nitrous oxide emissions were higher from conventional than from organic crop rotations except in Austria and, according to the statistical analysis, the differences between locations and crop categories were significant. Ammonium was significantly related to N2O emissions, although this effect was dominated by observations from a grazing system. Despite the limited number of samplings, annual emissions were estimated by interpolation. Across the two systems and five locations there was a significant relationship between total N inputs and N2O emissions at the crop rotation level which indicated that annually 1.6\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.2% (mean\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0standard error) of total N inputs were lost as N2O, while there was a background emission of 1.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.3\u00a0kg\u00a0N2O-N\u00a0ha\u22121\u00a0year\u22121. Although this measurement program emphasized system effects at the expense of high temporal resolution, the results indicate that N input is a significant determinant for N2O emissions from agricultural soils.", "keywords": ["2.

However, when combined with other individual factors, it significantly altered the effect size, sometimes even causing directional change. Our results revealed that the interaction between MP and other GCFs is not an additive response. Due to the characteristics of MP, the interaction mechanism between heavy metal and MP is obviously different from the response between drought and MP, and their combined effects on the soil-plant system may fundamentally vary Factor interactions are key to understanding and predicting how GCFs influence soil and plants. With an increasing number of GCFs involved, it becomes more and more complicated to predict effects on ecosystems.

In general, immediately after the fire pH and soil properties related to nutrients availability increased and cation exchange capacity decreased, whereas properties related to soil organic matter content (C, N, Fe and Al oxides) had a variable effect depending mainly on the soil studied; all these modifications were accentuated by fire severity. These effects were attenuated in the short term in the soil affected by a low severity wildfire, but they lasted for at least 1 year in the soils affected by high severity wildfires, particularly in the Leptosols.

While this fixation process leads to the rapid accumulation of N within the ecosystem, it also enhances nutrient accumulation in biomass and soil organic matter and increases nitrification and cation leaching. We hypothesized that changes in soil properties resulting from these processes would decrease site productivity for second rotation red alder. Adjacent stands of 55 yr old alder and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) were studied at the Thompson Research Center on the Cedar River Watershed in western Washington, USA. The presence of red alder caused the following soil changes: decreased soil solution pH, increased CEC, increased exchangeable acidity accompanied by a decreased soil pH and base saturation. This decreased soil and soil solution pH resulted in increased Al concentration in the soil solution and on exchange sites as well as decreased P availability. To determine the effect of these changes on the productivity of the 2nd rotation alder forest, a species conversion experiment was initiated 5 yr ago. Results from this conversion study clearly indicated that the first rotation red alder forest has caused a relative decrease in the productivity of the second rotation red alder plantation. Compared to the growth of red alder on the former Douglas fir site, the second rotation red alder on the former red alder site exhibited 33% less height growth and 75% less aboveground biomass accumulation after 5 yr. Future research will focus on identifying those factors causing this lower productivity including P availability, soil acidity and Al toxicity, cation availability, and competition with other vegetation.", "keywords": ["site productivity", "soil properties", "changes", "Soil Science", "0401 agriculture", " forestry", " and fisheries", "red alder", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "15.

The effects are chiefly a result of burn severity, which consists of peak temperatures and duration of the fire. Climate, vegetation, and topography of the burnt area control the resilience of the soil system; some fire-induced changes can even be permanent. Low to moderate severity fires, such as most of those prescribed in forest management, promote renovation of the dominant vegetation through elimination of undesired species and transient increase of pH and available nutrients. No irreversible ecosystem change occurs, but the enhancement of hydrophobicity can render the soil less able to soak up water and more prone to erosion. Severe fires, such as wildfires, generally have several negative effects on soil. They cause significant removal of organic matter, deterioration of both structure and porosity, considerable loss of nutrients through volatilisation, ash entrapment in smoke columns, leaching and erosion, and marked alteration of both quantity and specific composition of microbial and soil-dwelling invertebrate communities. However, despite common perceptions, if plants succeed in promptly recolonising the burnt area, the pre-fire level of most properties can be recovered and even enhanced. This work is a review of the up-to-date literature dealing with changes imposed by fires on properties of forest soils.

Although studies have been conducted to understand soil organic C increases in some agroforestry technologies, little is known about C sequestered in simultaneous tree/crop intercropping systems. The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of agroforestry practice on C sequestration and CO2-C efflux in a gliricidia-maize intercropping system. The experiment was conducted at an experimental site located at the Makoka Agricultural Research Station, in Malawi. The studies involved two field plots, 7-year (MZ21) and 10-year (MZ12), two production systems (sole-maize and gliricidia-maize simultaneous intercropping systems). A 7-year-old grass fallow (Grass-F) was also included. Gliricidia prunings were incorporated at each time of tree pruning in the gliricidia-maize. The amount of organic C recycled varied from 0.8 to 4.8 Mg C ha \ufffd 1 in gliricidia-maize and from 0.4 to 1.0 Mg C ha \ufffd 1 in sole-maize. In sole-maize, net decreases of soil carbon of 6M g Ch a \ufffd 1 at MZ12 and 7 Mg C ha \ufffd 1 at MZ21 in the topsoil (0\u201020 cm) relative to the initial soil C were observed. After 10 years of continuous application of tree prunings C was sequestered in the topsoil (0\u201020 cm) in gliricidia-maize was 1.6 times more than in sole-maize. A total of 123\u2010149 Mg C ha \ufffd 1 were sequestered in the soil (0\u2010200 cm depth), through root turnover and pruning application in the gliricidiamaize system. Carbon dioxide evolutionvaried from 10 to 28 kg ha \ufffd 1 day \ufffd 1 in sole-maize and 23 to 83 kg ha \ufffd 1 day \ufffd 1 in gliricidia-maize. We concluded that gliricidia-maize intercropping system could sequester more C in the soil than sole-maize. # 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.", "keywords": ["2.

For this, we compared a landscape-level, moorland restoration project (grazing exclusion) with adjacent continuously grazed acidic grasslands to test whether changes in vegetation composition after restoration impacted on soil properties including soil C storage. Grazing exclusion significantly increased the proportion of dwarf-shrubs at the expense of graminoids. Despite high seasonal variability, this change in vegetation was associated with increased plant litter mass, soil moisture content and the ratio of dissolved organic to inorganic N, and reductions in rates of ammonium mineralisation, soil microbial activity, and microbial biomass N. Our observations suggest that grazing-exclusion as a restoration tool for upland habitats results in a slowing down of rates of C and N cycling. However, as yet, this has had no detectable impact on total C and N stocks in surface soil.

However, while numerous spectral indices have been developed over time, since the very launch of civilian satellites until now, some critical issues in their usage, such as comparability, remain scarcely studied, which may lead to incorrect, inconsistent, and unreliable results. In this study, we collected 471 spectral indices of various environment components (vegetation, water, and soil) that might be leveraged for soil studies, and traced their popularity in scientific publications over the past decades. The bibliometric analysis revealed a growing interest and utilisation of spectral indices as Earthobserving satellite technology advanced. Based on both literature and, for sake of complementation and illustration, some targeted regional-scale case studies, we discuss the issues of naming confusion, comparability, applicability, accuracy trade-offs, and reproducibility of using spectral indices. Overall, this overview provides an extensive list of spectral indices, both soil indices and soil-related indices, that can be useful for characterising these environment components by remote sensing. It draws attention to some misuses and confusions that must be avoided to prevent scientific pitfalls. The comparisons between different spectral indices, sensors, and correction methods, highlight the confusing effects that the misuse and non-standardised practices of the spectral indices useful for soil, may have on soil property mapping and monitoring.

Conservation tillage coupled with subsoiling in northern China is widely believed to reduce soil compaction, which was created after many years of no-till. However, limited research has been conducted on the most effective time interval for subsoiling, under conservation tillage. Data from conservation tillage demonstration sites operating for 10 years in northern China were used to conduct a comparative study of subsoiling interval under conservation tillage. Three modes of traditional tillage, subsoiling with soil cover and no-till with soil cover were compared using 10 years of soil bulk density, water content, yield and water use efficiency data. Cost benefit analysis was conducted on subsoiling time interval under conservation tillage. Yield and power consumption were assessed by based on the use of a single pass combine subsoiler and planter. Annual subsoiling was effective in reducing bulk density by only 4.9% compared with no-till treatments on the silty loam soils of the Loess plateau, but provided no extra benefit in terms of soil water loss, yield increase or water utilization. With the exception of bulk density, no-till and subsoiling with cover were vastly superior in increasing water use (+10.5%) efficiency and yield (+12.9%) compared to traditional tillage methods. Four years of no-till followed by one subsoiling reduced mechanical inputs by 62%, providing an economic benefit of 49% for maize and 209% for wheat production compared to traditional tillage. Annual subsoiling reduced inputs by 25% with an increased economic benefit of 23% for maize and 135% for wheat production. Yield and power consumption was improved by 5% and 20%, respectively, by combining subsoiling with the planting operation in one pass compared with multipass operations of subsoiling and planting. A key conclusion from this is that annual subsoiling in dryland areas of northern China is uneconomical and unwarranted. Four years of no-till operations followed by 1 year subsoiling provided some relief from accumulated soil compaction. However, minimum soil disturbance and maximum soil cover are key elements of no-till for saving water and improving yields. Improved yields and reduced farm power consumption could provide a significant base on which to promote combined planter and subsoiling operations throughout northern China. Further research is required to develop a better understanding of the linkages between conservation tillage, soil quality and yield, aimed at designing most appropriate conservation tillage schemes.", "keywords": ["2.

This study was conducted to provide multiple groups guidance on how to achieve and maintain improved soil quality/health. Our hypothesis was that tillage intensity was the primary anthropogenic factor degrading soil quality, and our objective was to prove that hypothesis through an intensive 2005 sampling of a central Iowa, USA field study. Chisel plow, disk tillage, moldboard plow, ridge-till and no-till treatments, used for 31 years in a two-year, corn ( Zea mays  L.)/soybean [ Glycine max  (L.) Merr.] (C/S) rotation or for 26 years of continuous corn (CC) production, were evaluated by measuring 23 potential soil quality indicators. Soil samples from 0 to 5- and 5 to 15-cm depth increments were collected from 158 loam or clay loam sampling sites throughout the 10-ha study site. Nine of the indicators were evaluated by depth increment using the Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) which has scoring functions for 13 soil biological, chemical, and physical measurements and can be used to compute individual indicator indices and an overall soil quality index (SQI). Water-stable aggregation (WSA), total organic carbon (TOC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), and potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) were all significantly lower for the 0 to 5-cm and generally lower for 5 to 15-cm increments after long-term moldboard plowing and its associated secondary tillage operations. This presumably reflected greater physical breakup and oxidation of above- and below-ground plant residues. Bray-P concentrations in moldboard plow plots were also significantly lower at both depth increments. Between soil texture groups, significant differences were found for WSA, Bray-P, TOC and MBC at both depth increments and for both cropping systems. When combined into an overall SQI, both soil texture groups were functioning at 82\u201385% of their potential at 0\u20135-cm and at 75% of their potential at the 5\u201315-cm depth.

The experiment was set up in a field (200\u00a0\u00d7\u00a050\u00a0m) on sandy soil in Trzebieszow (region Podlasie, Poland). The soil measurements included sand, silt, clay, and organic carbon (SOC) contents, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH in the topsoil (0\u201310\u00a0cm) and subsoil (30\u201340\u00a0cm) layers in 2001, and water content and bulk density in the topsoil layer in spring and summer 2002\u20132003. The yields of oats were assessed in 2001 and 2003 and those of rye and triticale in 2002 and 2015, respectively. The soil properties and cereal yields were determined at 33\u201355 points in a grid evenly covering the whole field area. The results were analyzed using classic statistics and geostatistics by constructing semivariograms and 2D mapping by Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW). The cereal grain yields were significantly positively correlated with the topsoil water content (SWC) (r\u00a0=\u00a00.295\u20130.711), clay content (r\u00a0=\u00a00.081\u20130.174), and SOC in the subsoil (r\u00a0=\u00a00.208\u20130.271) and CEC in both layers (r\u00a0=\u00a00.123\u20130.298) and negatively correlated with bulk density (BD) (r\u00a0=\u00a0\u20130.065 to \u22120.279).

The effective range of the spatial dependence for all studied quantities varied from 9.9 to 120\u00a0m. The cereal yields were positively and significantly correlated between all study years (r\u00a0=\u00a00.141\u20130.734), which indicates inter-annual similarity in their spatial distribution. The 2D maps based on the IDW allowed assessing how gradual or sharp the changes in the studied quantities from one place to another are. Similar spatial patterns of the SWC, SOC and CEC, and crop yields were observed.

Plots were sequentially cropped with maize (main season) followed by cowpea (minor season). With 4 m interhedgerow spacing and pruning at 0.75 m height, the mean annual pruning biomass yields were observed in the following order: Leucaena (7.1 t ha-1 ) > Gliricidia (4.9 t ha-1 ) > Alchornea (3.7 t ha-1) > Dactyladenia (3.0 t ha-1 ).

Application of N in Gliricidia and Leucaena alley cropping still improved maize yield. Higher nitrogen rates are required for alley cropping with Alchornea and Dactyladenia hedgerows. A low rate of phosphorus application is needed for sustaining crop yields with all treatments. Occasional tillage is recommended to increase maize yield. Alley cropping and tillage showed little effect on cowpea seed yield. Surface soil properties declined with time with continuous cultivation. Alley cropping with woody species maintained higher soil organic carbon, phosphorus and potassium levels. Plots alley cropped with Gliricidia and Leucaena showed lower pH and extractable calcium level. Leucaena alley cropped plot also showed lower magnesium level.

The bulk density (BD), porosity, and specific yield (Sy) values obtained indicated that the top layer (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9330\uffc2\uffa0cm depth) at agricultural and peat extraction sites was most affected by land use change. The BD in the top layer at agricultural, peat extraction, and forestry sites was 441%, 140%, and 92% higher, respectively, than that of intact peatlands.

Most studies on spatial variability of K have been performed soil at a field or smaller scale. Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess (quantify) the spatial distribution of K at the larger regional scale in south-eastern Poland and its relationship with other soil properties, including intrinsic sand, silt, and clay contents, relatively stable organic carbon, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and temporally variable water content (WC), total porosity (FI), and dry bulk density (BD) in the surface layer (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9320\uffc2\uffa0cm). The spatial relationships were assessed using a semivariogram and a cross-semivariogram. The studied region (140\uffc2\uffa0km                     2                     ) with predominantly permeable sandy soils with low fertility and productivity is located in the south-eastern part of Poland (Podlasie region). The mean sand and organic carbon contents are 74 and 0.86 and their ranges (in %) are 45\uffe2\uff80\uff9395 and 0.002\uffe2\uff80\uff933.75, respectively. The number of individual samples varied from 216 to 228 (for K, WC, BD, FI) to 691 for the other soil properties. The best fitting models were adjusted to the empirical semivariogram (exponential) and the cross-semivariogram (exponential, Gaussian, or linear) used to draw maps with kriging. The results showed that, among the soil properties studied, K was most variable (coefficient of variation 77.3%) and significantly (                     p                     \uffe2\uff80\uff89&lt;\uffe2\uff80\uff890.05) positively correlated with total porosity (r\uffe2\uff80\uff89=\uffe2\uff80\uff890.300) and negatively correlated with soil bulk density (r\uffe2\uff80\uff89=\uffe2\uff80\uff89\uffe2\uff80\uff93\uffe2\uff80\uff890.283). The normal or close to the normal distribution was obtained by natural logarithmic and root square transformations. The mean K was 2.597\uffc2\uffa0m\uffc2\uffa0day                     \uffe2\uff88\uff921                     and ranged from 0.01 up to 11.54\uffc2\uffa0m\uffc2\uffa0day                     \uffe2\uff88\uff921                     . The spatial autocorrelation (range) of K in the single (direct) semivariograms was 0.081\uffc2\uffb0 (8.1\uffc2\uffa0km), while it favourably increased up to 0.149\uffc2\uffb0\uffe2\uff80\uff930.81\uffc2\uffb0 (14.9\uffe2\uff80\uff9381\uffc2\uffa0km) in the cross-semivariograms using the OC contents, textural fractions, and CEC as auxiliary variables.

Generally, the spatial distribution of the K values in the study region depended on the share of individual intrinsic textural fractions.

Trento-Bolzano (Italy), 3-5 Nov. 2021. A good understanding of soil moisture spatial patterns is useful for assessing the hydrological connectivity and runoff generation processes in a catchment. Thus, we have applied numerical modelling approaches to investigate the spatial patterns of soil moisture at the Nu\u010dice experimental catchment (0.531 km 2 ) in the Czech Republic. The catchment was established in 2011 to observe the rainfall-runoff processes, soil erosion and water balance in an agricultural landscape. The catchment consists of three fields covering over 95 % of the area. Eight field surveys were conducted to capture the soil moisture patterns at different scales. Even though the soil management and soil properties in the fields of Nu\u010dice seem to be nearly homogeneous, we have observed spatial variability in topsoil moisture. In numerical simulations, a 3D spatially-distributed model MIKE-SHE was used to simulate the water movement within the catchments. The MIKE-SHE simulation has been mainly calibrated with rainfall-runoff observations and point-scale soil moisture data. In the simulation, we have obtained the spatial patterns of soil moisture at each time step. The soil moisture spatial patterns from the simulation have been compared with the density of the vegetation cover (NDVI), and topsoil moisture patterns from field surveys. We found that the density of vegetation cover has a good correlation with the soil moisture spatial distribution. However, this correlation was not captured in the MIKE-SHE simulation. Future research will include Cosmic-ray neutron sensing and stable isotope analysis to improve the current understanding of the catchment. Peer reviewed", "keywords": ["Vegetation mapping", "13.

(In Press). Northern temperate pastures  exhibit divergent plant community responses to management and disturbance  legacies identified through a producer survey. <em>Applied  Vegetation Science</em>. <b>1.\u00a0 Study  location</b> We surveyed 102 pastures during 2012 (n=44) and 2013 (n=58)  between May 24 and July 6, distributed across agricultural lands within 80  km of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.\u00a0 About half the pastures were in the  Central Parkland (n=50), with the remainder in the Dry Mixedwood (n=50)  and Central Mixedwood (n=2) subregions.\u00a0A large and well-distributed  sample size ensured wide variation in soil textures, seeded and non-seeded  vegetation, and management actions. Pastures were selected using a  stratified random approach, separated by at least 800 m. Pastures were  identified through consultation with municipal county staff, then driving  roadsides to confirm suitable fields visually. Pastures had to accommodate  a 260 m long transect (minimum of 4 ha) with buffer zones from wetlands  (30 m), forests and fence lines (10 m), with larger pastures given  preference.\u00a0Acquisition of sites was constrained by landowners\u2019  willingness to grant permission to their land, although refusals were  uncommon (n &lt; 10). A privacy agreement with landowners prohibits us  from releasing the locations of pastures.  <strong>2. Producer management and disturbance  history</strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Pasture management  and disturbance history were acquired for all 102 pastures through a  retrospective, in-person interview.\u00a0Interviews were approved by the  University of Alberta\u2019s Research Ethics Board (ID: Pro0030842). Interviews  identified historical and current land-use practices and natural  disturbances potentially influencing soil and vegetation. Managers were  initially asked about ownership and whether the pasture had been  previously cultivated. If cultivated, managers estimated when it was  planted (grassland age) and how (seeding history was described in Pyle,  Hall, &amp; Bork, 2018); cultivation status could also be classified  as unknown (attributed to land-turnover or rented pasture). Recent  management actions were summarized, including grazing history (grazing  system, timing of grazing, number of animals, type of livestock,  supplemental feeding with hay), mechanical treatments (aerated, harrowed,  or swathed/mowed), nutrient addition (fertilizer or manure), or herbicide  application. Livestock stocking rates [in animal-unit-months per ha (AUM  ha<sup>-1</sup>)] were calculated for pastures (n=80) where  adequate information on grazing activities was obtained (see Pyle, Hall,  &amp; Bork, 2018), where one AUM is the forage required to support a  mature cow (with or without a calf) for one month. Other natural  disturbances capable of influencing vegetation, such as a known history of  recent fire, were recorded. All management actions and disturbance factors  are described in Appendix S1 (<em>Applied Vegetation  Science</em> manuscript). <strong>3.  Plant cover, ground cover, and soil properties</strong>  \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Following the interview, a grassland assessment was  conducted. To begin sampling, a random point was located from which a 260  m long \u2018W-transect\u2019 was laid out (Thomas, 1985). Plant composition and  ground cover were assessed at nine equidistant locations using a 0.25  m<sup>2</sup> quadrat. Foliar cover was estimated for each  plant species, with trace species recorded as 0.1%. Plants were identified  (Moss &amp; Packer, 1983) and nomenclature updated using VASCAN  (Brouillet et al., 2018). Plant species were later grouped into major  cover components by origin (total native, total introduced) and growth  form [forbs, graminoids (grasses, sedges, rushes)], as well as functional  groups such as introduced grasses (seeded or widely naturalized),  introduced legumes (seeded or widely naturalized), introduced ruderal  forbs (agronomic weeds), noxious weeds [defined by the <i>Weed  Control Act </i>(Province of Alberta, 2010)], native perennial  graminoids, native perennial forbs, native ruderal forbs, and native woody  plants. These functional groups are related to rangeland health, which  evaluates key forages, along with unpalatable and disturbance-induced  plants. For each pasture, plant community richness, diversity (effective  number of species), and Pielou\u2019s evenness were summarized for inclusion in  multivariate analyses. At all locations where cover was observed, the area of  litter and exposed mineral soil on the ground surface were estimated, and  litter depth was measured at five random locations within the 0.25  m<sup>2 </sup>frame. Mineral soil was sampled to a depth of 15  cm at ten random locations. During preparation of soil cores (Pyle, Hall,  &amp; Bork, 2019), charcoal layers in the top 15 cm of mineral soil  were often found, indicating fire occurrence in the pasture\u2019s history and  not reported by managers. For each grassland, soil properties including %  total carbon (C), % total nitrogen (N), carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N),  organic matter (OM), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and texture (%  clay, % sand, % silt) were measured. Procedures and specific responses are  summarized elsewhere (Pyle, Hall, &amp; Bork, 2019).  <strong>4. Rangeland health</strong>  \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Rangeland health was assessed using the <i>Tame  Pasture Assessment Form </i>developed by Alberta Environment and  Parks (Adams et al., 2010; resources available at https://www.alberta.ca/range-health.aspx). In brief, this process evaluated grasslands based on six criteria, including: (1) vegetation composition and forage cover (tame or modified-tame), (2) the status of vegetation as either desirable (i.e., tall, productive forages) or non-desirable (non-palatable) species in tame pasture, (3) hydrologic function and nutrient cycling (abundance of litter), (4) site stability (exposed mineral soil and evidence of erosion), (5) noxious weeds, and (6) encroachment by woody plants (scoring is summarized in Pyle, Hall, &amp; Bork, 2018). In total, 60% of the health score arises from vegetation attributes, 25% from hydrologic function, and 15% from site stability (Adams et al., 2010). <strong>5. Literature Cited</strong> Adams, B.

Similar reductions were observed for the untreated GW feedstock. Soil was amended with biochar or feedstock giving application rates of 1 and 5%. Following an initial incubation, nitrogen (N) was added at 165\uffe2\uff80\uff89kg/ha as urea. Microcosms were again incubated before being brought to 100% water-filled porosity and held at this water content for a further 47 days. The flooding phase accounted for the majority (&lt;80%) of total N2O emissions. The control soil released 3165\uffe2\uff80\uff89mg N2O-N/m2, or 15.1% of the available N as N2O. Amendment with 1 and 5% GW feedstock significantly reduced emissions to 1470 and 636\uffe2\uff80\uff89mg N2O-N/m2, respectively. This was equivalent to 8.6 and 3.8% of applied N. The GW biochar produced at 350\uffc2\uffb0C was least effective in reducing emissions, resulting in 1625 and 1705\uffe2\uff80\uff89mg N2O-N/m2 for 1 and 5% amendments. Amendment with BS biochar at 5% had the greatest impact, reducing emissions to 518\uffe2\uff80\uff89mg N2O-N/m2, or 2.2% of the applied N over the incubation period. Metabolic activity as measured by CO2 production could not explain the differences in N2O emissions between controls and amendments, nor could NH4+ or NO3\uffe2\uff80\uff93 concentrations in biochar-amended soils. A decrease in NH4+ and NO3\uffe2\uff80\uff93 following GW feedstock application is likely to have been responsible for reducing N2O emissions from this amendment. Reduction in N2O emissions from the biochar-amended soils was attributed to increased adsorption of NO3\uffe2\uff80\uff93. Small reductions are possible due to improved aeration and porosity leading to lower levels of denitrification and N2O emissions. Alternatively, increased pH was observed, which can drive denitrification through to dinitrogen during soil flooding. </p>", "keywords": ["2.

Moreover, we followed the N loss via leaching in soil contaminated or not with PMFs by simulating heavy rainfall events that mimic a future scenario of climate change. Our results show that soil contaminated with PMFs (at a concentration of 0.5% w/w) can jeopardize agroecosystem sustainability by affecting soil physical properties and in particular soil macro- and microporosity, the nitrogen cycle, and plant performance. In particular, we found that soil PMF contamination limited crop growth and N uptake by circa 30%, and consequently increased N loss via leaching.

This study aims to provide valuable insights into the comparative analysis of various soil parameters and biological indicators to showcase the promising perspectives and importance of perennial crop production for improving soil quality and agricultural sustainability. These crops are designed to provide multiple benefits simultaneously, including improved yields, enhanced ecosystem services, and reduced environmental effects. However, an integrated assessment of their overall effects on the agroecosystem is crucial to understand their potential benefits and trade-offs. The field experiment was conducted over three consecutive vegetative seasons (2017 to 2021) at the Experimental Station of Vytautas Magnus University Agriculture Academy (VMU AA) in Kaunas district, Lithuania. The experimental site is located at 54\u00b053\u20327.5\u2033 N latitude and 23\u00b050\u203218.11\u2033 E longitude. The treatments within a replicate were multi-cropping systems of sole crops (spring barley (1), spring wheat (2), pea (3), caraway (4)), binary crops (spring barley\u2013caraway (5), spring wheat\u2013caraway (6), pea\u2013caraway (7)), and trinary crops (spring barley\u2013caraway\u2013white clover (8), spring wheat\u2013caraway\u2013white clover (9), pea\u2013caraway\u2013white clover (10)) crops. However, an integrated assessment of their impact on the agroecosystem is needed to understand their potential benefits and processes. To determine the complex interactions between indicators, the interrelationships between indicators, and the strength of impacts, this study applied an integrated assessment approach using the comprehensive assessment index (CEI). The CEI values showed that integrating caraway (Carum carvi L.) into multi-cropping systems can have several positive effects. The effect of the binary spring barley and caraway and the trinary spring barley, caraway, and white clover crops on the agroecosystem is positively higher than that of the other comparative sole, binary, and trinary crops. Caraway, after spring wheat together with white clover, has a higher positive effect on the agroecosystem than caraway without white clover. Specifically, this study addresses key aspects, such as soil health, nutrient cycling, weed management, and overall agricultural sustainability, within the context of multi-cropping practices. By evaluating the effects of these cropping systems on soil agrochemical properties and ecosystem dynamics, the research provides valuable insights into sustainable agricultural practices that promote environmental conservation and long-term soil health.</p></article>", "keywords": ["2.

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the ability of the PRISMA hyperspectral imager to estimate topsoil properties (i.e., organic carbon, clay, sand, silt), in comparison with current satellite multispectral sensors. To investigate this expectation, a test was carried out using topsoil data collected in Italy following two approaches. Firstly, PRISMA, Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 spectral simulated datasets were obtained from the spectral resampling of a laboratory soil library. Subsequently, bare soil reflectance data were obtained from two experimental areas in Italy, using real satellites images, at dates close to each other. The estimation models of soil properties were calibrated employing both Partial Least Square Regression and Cubist Regression algorithms. The results of the study revealed that the best accuracies in retrieving topsoil properties were obtained by PRISMA data, using both laboratory and real datasets. Indeed, the resampled spectra of the hyperspectral imager provided the best Ratio of Performance to Inter-Quartile distance (RPIQ) for clay (4.87), sand (3.80), and organic carbon (2.59) estimation, for the spectral soil library datasets. For the bare soil reflectance obtained from real satellite imagery, a higher level of prediction accuracy was obtained from PRISMA data, with RPIQ \u00b1 SE values of 2.32 \u00b1 0.07 for clay, 3.85 \u00b1 0.19 for silt, and 3.51 \u00b1 0.16 for soil organic carbon. The results for the PRISMA hyperspectral satellite imagery with the Cubist Regression provided the best performance in the prediction of silt, sand, clay and SOC. The same variables were better estimated using PLSR models in the case of the resampled hyperspectral data. The statistical accuracy in the retrieval of SOC from real and resampled PRISMA data revealed the potential of the actual hyperspectral satellite.

To investigate this expectation, a test was carried out using topsoil data collected in Italy following two approaches.

Farmers typically use chemical fertilizer to improve crop production, but this conventional fertilization is not very effective in a cold waterlogged paddy field. Biochar amendment has been proposed as a promising management approach to eliminating these obstacles. However, little is known about the performance of biochar when combined with N fertilizer and P fertilizer in cold waterlogged soils. The aim of this study was, therefore, to assess the main effects and interactive effects of rice straw biochar, N and P fertilizer on rice growth and soil properties in a cold waterlogged paddy field. The field treatments consisted of a factorial combination of two biochar levels (0 and 2.25 t ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921), two N fertilizer levels (120.0 and 180.0 kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) and two P fertilizer levels (37.5 and 67.5 kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) which were arranged in a randomized block design, with three replicates. Results confirmed that biochar application caused a significant increase in the soil pH due to its liming effect, while this application resulted in a significant decrease in soil exchangeable cations, such as exchangeable Ca, Mg, Al and base cations. The interactive effect of N fertilizer, P fertilizer and biochar was significant for soil total N. Moreover, a negative effect of biochar on the internal K use efficiency suggested that K uptake into rice may benefit from biochar application. According to the partial Eta squared values, the combined application of N fertilizer and biochar was as effective as pure P fertilization at increasing straw P uptake.

However, notable effects of biochar on rice yield and biomass production were not detected. More studies are required to assess the long-term behavior of biochar in a cold waterlogged paddy field.

We conducted a field community study and soil analyses to determine the effects of different grazing intensities on the above-ground community and soil properties in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau. Our results showed the following: (i) the vegetation height, coverage, and above-ground biomass significantly declined with increased grazing intensity, but the species richness reached the highest level in a moderate-grazing intensity meadow; (ii) grazing had a significant positive effect on soil properties in that the soil moisture content, soil organic carbon concentration, soil total nitrogen concentration, soil available nitrogen, soil total phosphorus, and soil available phosphorus significantly increased with increased grazing pressure; and (iii) soil C and N storage also significantly increased with increased grazing pressure; altogether, these increases had a significant positive cor relation with the increase of below-ground biomass allocation. Our results indicated that higher grazing intensity might have a potentially positive effect to increase the soil C and N storage in alpine meadows. However, from a long-term perspective, moderate grazing may help to achieve a balance between species diversity protection, livestock production and soil C and N management.", "keywords": ["2.

Although  the effects of changes in precipitation amount and inter-annual  precipitation variability on terrestrial plant productivity and carbon  sequestration have been well studied, how intra-annual precipitation  variability affects terrestrial ecosystem function remains unclear. Here,  we synthesized field manipulative experiments from 71 publications to  quantify the effects of intra-annual precipitation variability increases  (IPVI) on community biomass and plant diversity in grasslands worldwide.  \u00a0At the global scale, we found that IPVI generally increased  grassland community aboveground biomass (AGB) by 6%, and decreased grass  biomass and soil ammonium nitrogen by 12% and 31%, respectively. IPVI  stimulated AGB, belowground biomass, and plant species richness in arid  regions, but not changed them in humid regions. Changes in AGB under IPVI  were related to changes in the biomass of plant functional groups, species  richness, and soil moisture. Structural equation modelling demonstrated  that that climate conditions (mean annual temperature and mean annual  precipitation) and background soil properties (soil sand content and soil  organic carbon content) jointly regulated grassland AGB responses to IPVI  across climate types. Synthesis: Overall, our study shows that grassland  productivity and diversity may increase under IPVI in arid climates, and  that humid grasslands may be highly resistant to the effects of IPVI.  These findings have important implications for understanding ecosystem  carbon cycling under global precipitation change scenarios.", "keywords": ["2. Zero hunger", "meta-analysis", "13.

A better understanding of the hydrological functioning of irrigated crops using remote sensing observations is of prime importance in the semi-arid areas where the water resources are limited. Radar observations, available at high resolution and revisit time since the launch of Sentinel-1 in 2014, have shown great potential for the monitoring of the water content of the upper soil and of the canopy. In this paper, a complete set of data for radar signal analysis is shared to the scientific community for the first time to our knowledge. The data set is composed of Sentinel-1 products and in situ measurements of soil and vegetation variables collected during three agricultural seasons over drip-irrigated winter wheat in the Haouz plain in Morocco. The in situ data gathers soil measurements (time series of half-hourly surface soil moisture, surface roughness and agricultural practices) and vegetation measurements collected every week/two weeks including above-ground fresh and dry biomasses, vegetation water content based on destructive measurements, cover fraction, leaf area index and plant height. Radar data are the backscattering coefficient and the interferometric coherence derived from Sentinel-1 GRDH (Ground Range Detected High resolution) and SLC (Single Look Complex) products, respectively. The normalized difference vegetation index derived from Sentinel-2 data based on Level-2A (surface reflectance and cloud mask) atmospheric effects-corrected products is also provided. This database, which is the first of its kind made available in open access, is described here comprehensively in order to help the scientific community to evaluate and to develop new or existing remote sensing algorithms for monitoring wheat canopy under semi-arid conditions. The data set is particularly relevant for the development of radar applications including surface soil moisture and vegetation parameters retrieval using either physically based or empirical approaches such as machine and deep learning algorithms. The database is archived in the DataSuds repository and is freely-accessible via the DOI:  https://doi.org/10.23708/8D6WQC  (Ouaadi et al., 2020a).                         </p>", "keywords": ["550", "Arid", "Soil Moisture", "0211 other engineering and technologies", "FOS: Mechanical engineering", "02 engineering and technology", "Digital Soil Mapping Techniques", "Normalized Difference Vegetation Index", "630", "Agricultural and Biological Sciences", "Engineering", "Pathology", "GE1-350", "2.
