NO problems of soil science have proved more difficult than those concerning the nature and functions of soil humus. The early work of Sprengel and Berzelius yielded a long list of humic and other ...
Humus is highly recalcitrant, and this resistance to decomposition leads to a long residence time in soil. Plant debris is less recalcitrant, resulting in a much shorter residence time in soil.
Therefore, the stability of boreal soils is critical to understanding global carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change and soil management. However, the regulating factors of humus carbon sequestration ...
To alleviate pests, plant mustards, and if your soil could use more humus, plant cowpeas. Your local nursery will have bulk cover crop seed and can help you figure out what would be best for your ...
