Sentence examples for mineralization of soil from inspiring English sources

Whitman and Lehmann developed their method to quantify inputs from three sources by doing experiments on soil carbon dioxide emissions from the interaction of microbial mineralization of soil organic carbon, root respiration and biochar, which they added to the system.

Here, we present a streamlined, user-friendly and open version of the individual-based model INDISIM-SOM, which describes the mineralization of soil carbon and nitrogen.

Decomposition studies indicate that montmorillonite, a smectite that often forms with interlayers rich in Ca2+, greatly retards the microbial mineralization of soil organic matter.

A continual model of humification and mineralization of soil organic matter (SOM) formed under the conditions of a Lunar base from biological waste materials is proposed.

Nsoil and Nsod are the amounts of N (lbs N/acre) expected to be released from mineralization of soil organic matter and a plowed-down sod, respectively, and feff is a nitrogen uptake efficiency factor that depends on soil type and drainage.

Carbon mineralization in eroded sediments greatly exceeded that of soils and was described by a single pool first order model, whereas mineralization of soil C followed a sigmoidal pattern.

A mass balance approach revealed that all three pathways are significant, and that the mineralization of soil-derived DOC and CH4 accounted for most of the estimated stream CO2 emissions (average 75%and10%0%, respectively), and that these estimated contributions did not change significantly between the studied low order (≤ 3) streams.

Addition of organic substrate of virtually any form to soil can stimulate microbial growth and activity, resulting in mineralization of soils organic carbon (SOC) to different extents.

According to Wu and Brookes (2005), the alternation of drying and rewetting soil samples enhances mineralization of both soil biomass organic matter and non-biomass organic matter.

The approach for enhanced mineralization of a soil contaminant by inoculating the soil with a degrading microbial community established on carrier material has already been successfully applied in our previous studies for the herbicide isoproturon and the environmental chemical 1,2,4-TCB [31 33].

The mineralization rate of soil carbon has also been found to decline with the incubation time extending (Reichstein et al. 2000), and the regime function of mineralization variables would substitute each other at different incubation stages (Giardina and Ryan 2000; Rasmussen et al. 2006).
