Microbial Ecology, Vol. 81, No. 2 (February 2021), pp. 410-424 (15 pages) To predict the effects of nitrogen deposition on nitrogen-mineralizing enzyme activity and soil microbial community structure ...

Afforestation transforms degraded soils in semi-arid regions, increasing microbial necromass and enhancing soil carbon and nitrogen pools, thereby improving ecosystem health.

A new study reports that specially engineered biochar can significantly improve compost quality by reducing nitrogen loss and accelerating the formation of stable humic substances. The findings offer ...
