Abstract A central role for nature-based solution is to identify optimal management practices address environmental challenges, including carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation. Inorganic fertilization increases plant aboveground biomass but often causes a tradeoff with diversity loss. It remains unclear, however, whether organic fertilization, as potential solution, could alter this by increasing without Here we compile data from 537 experiments on inorganic across grasslands croplands worldwide evaluate the responses of biomass, diversity, soil (SOC). Both increase 56% 42% relative ambient, respectively. However, only decreases while in greater water content. Moreover, SOC 19% 15% ambient The positive effect mean annual temperature grasslands, pattern not observed croplands. Collectively, our findings highlight that can two ecosystem services forage production, storage,

Abstract The soil health assessment has evolved from focusing primarily on agricultural productivity to an integrated evaluation of biota and biotic processes that impact properties. Consequently, shifted a predominantly physicochemical approach incorporating ecological, biological molecular microbiology indicators. This shift enables comprehensive exploration microbial community properties their responses environmental changes arising climate change anthropogenic disturbances. Despite the increasing availability indicators (physical, chemical, biological) data, holistic mechanistic linkage not yet been fully established between functions across multiple spatiotemporal scales. article reviews state‐of‐the‐art monitoring, understanding how soil‐microbiome‐plant contribute feedback mechanisms causes in properties, as well these have functions. Furthermore, we survey opportunities afforded by soil‐plant digital twin approach, integrative framework amalgamates process‐based models, Earth Observation data assimilation, physics‐informed machine learning, achieve nuanced comprehension health. review delineates prospective trajectory for monitoring embracing systematically observe model system. We further identify gaps opportunities, provide perspectives future research enhanced intricate interplay hydrological processes, hydraulics, microbiome, landscape genomics.

How Land Use Transitions Contribute to the Soil Organic Carbon Accumulation from 1990 to 2020

SOC stock (SOCS) changes caused by land use are still unclear, and understanding this response is essential for many environmental policies management practices. In study, we investigated the temporal-spatial vertical distribution characteristics of SOCS on Western Sichuan Plateau (WSP) using sparrow search algorithm-random forest regression (SSA-RFR) models with excellent model applicability accuracy. The varia-tions in were modeled 1080 soil samples a set nine covariates. We analyzed effect WSP. total increased 18.03 Tg C from 1990 to 2020. results study confirmed that area has significantly since 2010, an increase 27.88 compared 2010. found spatial southeast northwest, decreased increasing depth.

Understanding the Effects of Organic Versus Conventional Farming on Soil Organic Carbon Characteristics– a Chronosequence Study

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Organic farming aims at producing high quality, nutritious food while sustaining the health of soils and ecosystems, for which it relies on ecological processes. The amount quality soil organic carbon (SOC) influence many processes that underlie ecosystem services. However, effect especially SOC is not yet clear. We therefore investigated long-term arable in topsoil.On two contrasting types (i.e., clay vs. sand), we sampled a chronosequence certified organically managed commercial farms (0 to 34 69 years farming, respectively) paired with nearby conventional counterparts same soil. collected samples basic information management such as crop rotation fertilization. Total content properties were measured, four different techniques (POX-C oxidation, Rock-Eval thermal analysis, POM-MAOM fractionation, elemental C:N analysis) used characterize quality.In soils, particularly those low Fe oxide content, confirmed our hypothesis can increase total labile fractions over time, thus resulting lower overall stability. also found indications effects are co-dependent content. duration was affect or sandy soils.Despite strict farm selection criteria, large variations environmental conditions, farm-specific practices, land use history complicated identification individual drive observed changes dynamics response farming. This variation highlighted importance intrinsic dynamics, need develop soil-specific recommendations. Despite this complexity, study has clearly revealed potential change cycling towards higher more bioavailable strengthening associated
