Biosolids increase soil aggregation and protection of soil carbon five years after application on a crested wheatgrass pasture
Biosolids application to rangelands and pastures recycles nutrients and organic matter back to soils. The effects of biosolids (20 and 60 dry Mg ha–1) and N+P fertilizer on soil aggregate stability, bulk density, aeration porosity, and total C and N of stable aggregates were evaluated 4 and 5 yr after surface application to a crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.] pasture in the ...

Enhancing soil infiltration reduces gaseous emissions and improves n uptake from applied dairy slurry
Rapid infiltration of liquid manure into the soil reduces emissions of ammonia (NH3) into the atmosphere. This study was undertaken to assess the effects of two low-cost methods of assisting infiltration of applied dairy slurry on emissions of NH3, nitrous oxide (N2O), and on crop N uptake. The two methods were removing of solids by settling-decantation to make the manure less viscous and ...

Organic Matter: Key for sustainable agriculture
The growth in human population has had an important impact on soil and the services and resources it can provide. The consequences of human activities on soil resources resulted in the loss of biodiversity, accelerated erosion, desertification, compaction, nutrient depletion, and loss of soil organic matter (SOM), which is primarily made up of carbon (58%). Considerable losses of soil carbon ...
