<i>Miscanthus</i> × <i>giganteus</i> increases soil maximum water holding capacity compared to maize Open
Soil ecosystem services, like the ability to store water, have been depleted after a century of conventional, annual cropping, and perennial crops offer a solution to this and other agricultural environmental issues. We assessed the impact…

Soil pore-size distributions and selected biochemical properties in short-grass steppe under long-term drought Open
Recent climatic changes have increased the unpredictability of rainfall events with a heightened probability of droughts. Impact of long-term droughts can be especially devastating in dry environments, such as short-grass steppe (SGS) prai…

Suppression of hydrolytic enzyme activities by short-term aeration of periodically anoxic soils: Evidence from upland ecosystems Open
Land-use change and duration of agricultural practice cause shifts in the soil physical structure and porosity. These changes, in turn, may hamper soil aeration, restrict gas exchange, and therefore, cause establishment of anoxic condition…

Long-term drought alters pore structure and biochemical characteristics in soils of short-grass steppe Open
Recent climatic changes have increased the unpredictability of rainfall events with a heightened probability of droughts, thus influencing the belowground carbon sequestration. Soil structure is shaped by physical, chemical, and biological…

Contrasting Land‑Uses Affect Chemical Composition of Organic Matter in Tropical Soils: A Case Study via Os Staining and FTIR Open
Particulate organic matter (POM) is a significant component of soil organic carbon (SOC), particularly in tropical soils, where it often serves as a primary precursor for the formation of mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM). This stud…

Organic carbon feedbacks to soil structure in Profundihumic and Haplic Ferralsols in Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil Open
Increasing soil organic matter content coincides with increasing soil porosity and decreasing bulk density, but the mechanisms that lead to changes in soil structure are unclear. We quantified and compared soil characteristics across two c…

Organic carbon enables the biotic engineering of beneficial soil structure in Profundihumic and Haplic Ferralsols Open
We investigated how organic matter may, directly and indirectly, modify the porosity of Ferralsols, that is, deeply weathered soils of the tropics and subtropics. Although empirical and anecdotal evidence suggests that organic matter accum…
