Effect of Forest Management Operations on Aggregate-Associated SOC Dynamics Using a ¹³⁷Cs Tracing Method by Geng Guo, Xiao Li, Xi Zhu, Yanyin Xu, Qiao Dai, Guangruo Zeng, Jie Lin

“…The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of converting CBF (coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests) to economic forests, including CF (chestnut forest), HF (hawthorn forest), and AF (apple forest), on the soil structure and nutrient loss in the Huaibei Rocky Mountain Areas, China. A ¹³⁷Cs tracer method was used to provide soil erosion data in order to quantify the loss of aggregate-associated SOC. …”

Marmots do not drink coffee: Human urine contributions to the nitrogen budget of a popular national park destination by Jill S. Baron, Tim Weinmann, Varun Kirk Acharya, Caitlin Charlton, Koren R. Nydick, Scott Esser

“…Abstract Reactive nitrogen (Nr) concentrations are higher than expected for mountain lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park, and for many years, high Nr concentrations have been attributed to atmospheric Nr deposition from regional and more distant emission sources, including combustion of fossil fuels and agricultural activities. …”

Relações solo-paisagem no Quadrilátero Ferrífero em Minas Gerais Soil-landscape relationships at the Quadrilátero Ferrífero in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil by Amaury de Carvalho Filho, Nilton Curi, Edgar Shinzato

“…There is a dominance of young soils (Cambisols and Litholic Neosols), showing low natural fertility, despite the marked differentiation of native vegetation, represented by tropical grassland formations side by side to the forest. In some areas, rocky outcrops are outstanding. The influence of the parent material on soil characteristics is remarkable, especially on the soil groups related to iron rocks, which are discernible by their very high iron oxide contents and their intense red color. …”

Pyrogenic Carbon Generation From Fire and Forest Restoration Treatments by Thomas H. DeLuca, Michael J. Gundale, Rachel J. Brimmer, Si Gao

“…In this paper, we report on the average mass of PyC formation during wildfire and Rx fire events in forest ecosystems through synthesizing data across 12 published studies; and we report empirical data on the mass of PyC generated in a replicated Rx fire study in a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forest ecosystem of the Rocky Mountain West. Our data synthesis showed that PyC (consisting of PyC from downed wood, O horizon, and mineral soil) was, on average, produced at a rate of 5.2 ± 2.5% of biomass exposed to fire in forest ecosystems, and a single wildfire or Rx fire event generated about 2.2 ± 1.7 Mg C ha−1 in the form of PyC. …”

Research Progress on <i>Illicium difengpi</i> (Illiciaceae): A Review by Chao Wu, Huiling Liang, Beibei Qi, Baoyu Liu, Manlian Wang, Hui Tang, Dianpeng Li, Shah Fahad

“…We conclude that (i) <i>I. difengpi</i> (Illiciaceae) is an endemic and indigenous medicinal species that has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and traumatic injury in China; (ii) <i>I. difengpi</i> (Illiciaceae) can endure various abiotic stresses, especially extreme drought, and thus has scientific value for exploring adaptive mechanisms of tolerance to extreme drought and in the ecological restoration of karst rocky desertification areas; and (iii) the beautiful tree shapes of <i>I. difengpi</i> (Illiciaceae) give it potential ornamental value. …”
