Sentence examples for turnover of soil from inspiring English sources

Radiocarbon measurements are frequently used to model the turnover of soil organic carbon (OC) fractions.

Our results indicate that litter input resulted in lower carbon storage and larger carbon losses and consequently accelerated turnover of soil organic carbon.

Forest type is a great biotic manipulator in regulating the turnover of soil organic matter via the quantity and quality of litter input or through the modification of soil biophysical properties.

While most models describing soil organic matter dynamics relate the turnover of soil organic matter to its chemical structure, there is increasing evidence that microbial accessibility to the organic matter is predominant in controlling its stability and its decay.

Although a collection of metadata exists on long-term experiments in Europe, related to the turnover of soil organic matter, a convenient method to access the actual data was required.

According to the "soil microbial loop" concept, nutrients and carbon are cycled between soil and microbial pools [16], [17], [18], and inorganic and organic nutrients of low molecular mass become available through microbial turnover of soil organic matter and are subsequently 'scavenged' by the plant root.

The higher soil respiration rate at TC2 was likely due to the invasive grass that accelerated the turnover rate of soil organic matter (Liao et al. 2008; Ward et al. 2009).

Though high affinity to the soil matrix and negligible uptake of sulfonamide-NER by plants and earthworms was shown [39], it cannot be excluded that the NER poses a certain risk for human health, since they can be remobilized during the natural turnover processes of soil organic matter and subsequently contaminate environmental compartments and become bioavailable.

Results show that the turnover time of soil carbon was longest in the area where fire occurred 2 years ago (117 years) and approximately two times shorter (ca. 60 years) in the areas where fire occurred 42, 60 and 152 years ago.

The natural abundance of 13C was used to estimate the turnover of the soil organic matter in a vertisol re-grassed with Digitaria decumbens (C4 plant) following intensive market gardening (C3 plants).

With regard to the importance of nitrogen turnover for soil quality, presence of imidacloprid in soils may also affect the nontarget microorganisms responsible for these processes.
