Soil organic matter quality is usually seen as a major attribute of soil quality. In this study, we extracted organic carbon with water (WEOC) or with potassium permanganate (PEOC). We assessed these extractions for their potential as sensitive indicators of the effect of land use on two importan...

Little is known about the sustainability of cultivation systems in the Brazilian savannas, also known as the Cerrados, despite its increasing significance for that country`s agriculture. To characterize management effects and follow alterations of organic compounds in different fractions, we stud...

Fourteen types of physical structures produced on the soil surface by ecological engineers were sampled in the Eastern Plains of Colombia. The invertebrates creating these structures were identified. Some physical (aggregate size and stability, and bulk density) and chemical (C, N, and P contents...

Soil organic matter (SOM) and phosphorus (P) fractions play a key role in sustaining the productivity of acid-savanna oxisols and are greatly influenced by tillage practices. In 1993, a long-term experiment on sustainable crop rotation and ley farming systems was initiated on a Colombian acid-sav...

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) analysis was used to discriminate soils of different agroecosystems in Colombia, with different contents and qualities of organic matter, chemical, and biological properties. Correlations were sought between absorbance in wavelength classes as determ...

This study examined the influence of organic residue quality and N fertilizer on aggregate-associated SOM in maize cropping systems of southern Ghana. Six residue treatments of differing quality (Crotalaria juncea, Leucaena leucocephala, maize stover, sawdust, cattle manure and a control with ...

Organic resources (ORs) are essential inputs in tropical farming systems and their decomposition dynamics are related to their quality. A Decision Support System (DSS) for organic N management has been proposed earlier that subdivides ORs in four classes depending on their N, lignin, and soluble ...
