A comprehensive assessment of soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics in semi-arid agrosystems implementing soil and water conservation (SWC) measures is still lacking despite their extent, ecological and economic significance. Therefore, we assessed the long-term impact of a commonly used SWC techniq...

Using the net anthropogenic nitrogen input (NANI) approach we estimated the N budget for the Lake Victoria Basin in East Africa. The NANI of the basin ranged from 887 to 3008 kg N km−2 yr−1 (mean: 1827 kg N km−2 yr−1) for the period 1995–2000. The net nitrogen release at basin level is due primar...

In situ field measurements as well as targeted laboratory studies have shown that freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs)
affect soil trace gas fluxes. However, most of past laboratory studies adjusted soil moisture before soil freezing, thereby neglecting that snow cover or water from melting snow may modify ...

Fertilizer nitrogen (N) application has been shown to impact both methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from rice-based crop systems, yet the responses of CH4 and N2O fluxes to N fertilizer applications in subtropical rice–rapeseed rotation systems are not well documented. A three-year ...
