Fertilization is an effective measure to ensure crop yield and food security in modern intensive agriculture. However, the long-term application of mineral fertilizers may lead soil acidification, consequently affecting organisms. Few studies have focused on effects fertilizer nematode assemblages various types. Soil chemical properties were investigated seven fields at China Cultivated Land Qu...

The present study was performed for the ecotoxicity assessment of bismuth (Bi) effect on biological indicators soil condition: total number bacteria, catalase activity, dehydrogenases activity and germination Radish seeds length roots. Three types with significantly different resistance ability to heavy metal pollution were studied: Haplic Chernozems Calcic, Arenosols Eutric Cambisols Eutric.So...

On sites with weakly leached chernozems located in the agro-ecological conditions of municipality Kaynardzha, Silistra region, soil fertility and productivity agricultural lands were assessed two ways: 1. Through routinely used Bulgaria “Methodology for work on cadaster NRB” (Petrov et al., 1988.) 2. a newly developed methodology “Modern approaches potential assessment (Land evaluation categori...

Abstract Background Leaching from agricultural land is one of the major pathways phosphorus (P) loss soils to waterbody and may induce adverse effect on territorial environment. Past studies usually focused inorganic P (P I ) while ignored role organic O in leaching process. A total 63 soil samples were collected across China with various types including 21 paddy soils, 13 chernozems, 11 red ot...
