An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of long-term (> 25 yrs) grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC) and total soil nitrogen (N) accumulation beneath individual plants of three perennial ...
The input of fresh carbon can either enhance or suppress the mineralization rate of native soil organic carbon (SOC), a process known as the priming effect. The priming effect plays a crucial role in ...
Agricultural and industrial activities have greatly altered the global nitrogen (N) cycle and increased the availability of biologically reactive N in many ecosystems. Though N is a limiting nutrient ...
