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 ...
Growth and Symbiotic Performance of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Cultivars under Saline Soil Conditions
The present study was conducted to investigate growth and symbiotic performance of selected salt tolerant chickpea (Cicer arietinum) cultivars under arid saline soil conditions. Plants were grown in saline soil of Syrdarya ...
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 ...
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 ...
Carbon status and structural stability of soils from differing land use systems in the Kingdom of Tonga
Maintenance of soil carbon stocks is vital for the environment at large and for maintenance of soil
chemical, physical and biological fertility. Tonga represents a country in agricultural transition from
subsistence to ...
