In many parts of the world, including China, soil acidification is reducing agricultural yields. Recycling animal manure can help counteract this acidification and is therefore a key component of ...

A growing body of research highlights a global agricultural challenge that often goes unnoticed beneath our feet: soil acidification. Affecting billions of hectares worldwide, acidic soils reduce crop ...

Southern forests contribute more than 50% of the soil organic carbon (SOC) in China's forest ecosystem, and the soil can still accumulate SOC. Deeply developed tropical and subtropical forest soil has ...

Soil acidification in agricultural landscapes arises from the combined effects of intensive nitrogen fertilisation, acid deposition, crop uptake of basic cations and the subsequent leaching of protons ...

Soil acidification is quietly threatening agricultural productivity worldwide, reducing crop yields and degrading soil health. Now, a new global study shows that biochar, a carbon-rich material made ...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is an important crop cultivated in many countries, including those in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) 1. It is a perennial bunchgrass typically grown in subtropical ...
