Carbon Sequestration in Indian Soils: Present Status and the Potential
India’s growing self-sufficiency in food production
and food stocks since independence suggest that
soils have the capacity to produce. Therefore, a review of
Indian soils and their capacity to sequester carbon; and ...
Pasture degradation effects on soil quality indicators at different hillslope positions in a semiarid region of western Iran
A study was made to determine the influence of
pasture degradation on soil quality indicators that included
physical, chemical, biological and micromorphological
attributes, along the hillslope positions in Chaharmahal ...
Quality Control in Soil Testing Using the Internal Standards: Temporal Variability in Organic Carbon and Extractable Nutrient Elements
Internal soil standards are used in an analytical laboratory as one of the tools for providing feedback on the quality of soil testing service provided. The objective of this study is to provide results on the temporal ...
Soil information system: use and potentials in humid and semi-arid tropics
The articles presented in this special section emanated from the researches of consortium members of the National Agricultural
Innovative Project (NAIP, Component 4) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), ...
Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopic Approach for the Characterization of Soil Aggregate Size Distribution
Assessment of soil structure and soil aggregation remains a challenging task.
Routine methods such as dry- and wet-sieving approaches are generally time
consuming and tedious, which calls for a robust, fast, and ...
Red ferruginous soils of tropical Indian environments: A review of the pedogenic processes and its implications for edaphology
Red ferruginous (RF) soils of tropical Indian environments belong to Entisols, Inceptisols, Alfisols, Mollisols and
Ultisols soil orders. The occurrence of Ultisols alongside acidic Alfisols and Mollisols in both zeolitic ...
