The system has already been tested both in potting soil in the lab and in the field in Germany, where it measured oxygen dynamics in soil layers over several months without malfunctioning, even in ...

The huge, long-lasting wildfires that have become increasingly common in recent years can cause changes in soil chemistry that affect water contamination, air quality, and plant growth. But these ...

Ecologists examined the distribution patterns of canopy soils, and their soil properties, across Costa Rican forests. The researchers suggest canopy soil may store more carbon than previously thought.

The Environmental Soil Chemistry Laboratory focusesed on how toxic metals such as arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) and plant nutrients such as phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) are bound (sorbed) ...

Table 1 Soil chemical properties (mean ± S.E.) in soils at 10 cm depths beneath uncovered and shrub cover points. Within CD, most of the indicator OTUs belonged to the Planctomycetota (20.80%), ...

Microbiologist Martin Reinhard Rasmussen has developped and built the MARTINIS system as part of his PhD project at Aarhus University. Here he is in the field with his prototype. As a courtesy to the ...

Severe wildfires can drive chemical changes in soil that affect ecosystem recovery and risks to human health. A new study finds broader surveillance and modeling of these changes could inform ...
