Plot‑Scale Assessment of Sewage Sludge and Biochar Effects on Soil Properties, Soil Erodibility, and Runoff in Contrasting Textural Soil

Effect of Different Types of Biochar Amendment on Hydraulic Conductivity of Fine-Grained Soils

Biochar has emerged as a promising sustainable soil amendment due to its potential to improve soil structure and enhance stormwater management. However, its effects on saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (Kunsat) at high suction ranges (i.e., around 100 kPa) remain inconsisten...

The Influence of Soil Properties on the Agronomic Efficacy of Rock Dust: A Comparative Analysis of a Semiarid Ultisol and Global Soil Types

Background : Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) using silicate rock dust is a promising strategy for soil remineralization and carbon dioxide removal. However, its agronomic efficacy is highly dependent on soil properties. Aim : This study provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the influence of soil ty...

Manure compost and gypsum amendments revitalize soil quality via aggregation and pore structure in the Yellow River Delta

The Influence of Fine-Grained Clay Content on Water Retention in Soil Reconstruction in Shendong Mining Area

The surface soil in the Shendong mining area is dominated by aeolian sand and sandy sediment, while precipitation is limited, and evaporation is intense. Under these conditions, shallow reconstructed soil has difficulty retaining plant-available water, which constrains vegetation restoration. This study evaluated how l...

Millet cultivation mitigates soil erosion in sloping farmland by regulating near-soil surface traits

Introduction Crop growth induces seasonal variations in the near-soil surface traits, including vegetation features, root systems, and soil properties. However, the influencing mechanisms of variations in the near-soil surface traits on soil erosion remain unclear in sloping farmland. Methods Rainfall simulation experi...
