We measured potential denitrification activity and denitrifier marker gene abundances (nirK, nirS, nosZ) in grasslands soils in three geographic regions characterized by site-specific land-use indices (LUI) after warming in spring, at an intermediate sampling and after summer drought. Potential denitrification was significantly increased by warming, but did not persist over the intermediate sampling. At the intermediate sampling, the relevance of grassland land-use intensity was reflected by increased potential N2O production at sites with higher LUI. Abundances of total bacteria did not respond to experimental warming or drought treatments, displaying resilience to minor and short-term effects of climate change. In contrast, nirS- and nirK-type denitrifiers were more influenced by drought in combination with LUI and pH, while the nosZ abundance responded to the summer drought manipulation. Land-use was a strong driver for potential denitrification as grasslands with higher LUI also had greater potentials for N2O emissions. We conclude that both warming and drought affected the denitrifying communities and the potential denitrification in grassland soils.

Grazing at light to moderate intensity theoretically enhances grassland production, thus benefiting grassland ecosystems. However, inconsistent results of the beneficial effects of light to moderate grazing on grassland production were reported due to the lack of accurate and repeatable techniques for discriminating grazing effects from other abiotic factors. Advanced remote-sensing techniques provide a promising tool for filling this gap in grazing effects research due to their high spatial and temporal resolution. In this article, the influences of light to moderate grazing on grassland production in mixed grasslands were investigated for the period 1986\u20132005, using spectral data derived from satellite images. The effects of precipitation on the detection of grazing-induced production change were also analysed. The results revealed that the normalized canopy index NCI showed superior performance in quantifying grassland production in mixed grasslands. Significant differences in grassland production between grazed and ungrazed treatments occurred in the three years with above-average and average growing-season precipitations April\u2013August, but not in the dry years. Most of the variation in production 75% was explained by growing-season precipitation for both grazed and ungrazed sites. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of using remote-sensing data to monitor long-term light to moderate grazing effects and the important role of precipitation, especially growing-season precipitation, in modulating production in mixed-grassland ecosystems.", "keywords": ["2.

This rotation was managed under three organic farming systems: Organic 0 (control), Organic I (with winter cover crops lately incorporated into the soil as green manure) and Organic II (with the same cover crops plus a yearly amendment of 40\u00a0t\u00a0ha\u22121 of cattle manure). Crop rotation had a yearly positive effect on the soil bulk density, and enhanced the percentage of air filled pores; nonetheless, despite the leguminous crops in the rotation, all the systems presented a yearly decrease in total nitrogen in 2014. Cover crops along with manure only had a significant effect on enzymatic activity; how...", "keywords": ["2.

In Poland, relatively limited research has been conducted on soil quality and fertility in organic, dynamically developing agricultural systems. A comparative study on soil parameters under organic and conventional cultivation was performed in 2009. Twenty-two pairs (organic-conventional) of fields located in the south and east of Poland were chosen. All organic sites were certified. The following field crops were investigated: apple, pear, blackcurrant, carrot, beetroot, and celery. The soil granulometric composition, total organic content, total nitrogen, as well as the content of available macroelements (P, K, Ca, Mg, S), microelements (Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn, B), and trace elements (Cd and Pb) were measured. The organic farm soils had a higher level of the total organic matter (2.02%) than the conventional (1.75%). The organic system increased the total soil N level in celery and beetroot fields...", "keywords": ["2.

The micronutrient contents of both wheat and maize were above critical values during vegetative development, but Zn contents of maize ear leaves were sub-sufficient under all treatments. The wheat grain Mn, Cu, and Zn contents were lower under fertilized treatments than in unfertilized controls. Nutrient balance calculations showed that NPK application alone or with straw resulted in deficits of the four micronutrients, but not application of NPK supplemented with manure. Hence, application of micronutrients, such as Zn, through organic or inorganic fertilizers is recommended for this cropping system.", "keywords": ["2.
