Soil microbial biomass and activity under different agricultural management systems in a semiarid Mediterranean agroecosystem

Abstract A field experiment was carried out in a semiarid agricultural Mediterranean area located at the “El Teularet” experimental field in the Enguera Sierra (Valencia, southeast Spain) to assess…

Water repellency under different plant species in a calcareous forest soil in a semiarid Mediterranean environment

Water repellency (WR) is a property that has implications on the hydrologic balance in affected soils. In semi‐arid areas where water supply is limited, even slight WR may play an important role in…

Factors controlling the aggregate stability and bulk density in two different degraded soils amended with biosolids

Intensive agricultural practices generally lead to considerable reduction of organic carbon in soils. Moreover, the use of saline water affects physical parameters such as aggregate stability, and…

Microbial recolonization and chemical changes in a soil heated at different temperatures

Samples of a Mediterranean forest soil were exposed in a muffle furnace to seven temperatures (100–700°C) for 15 min to simulate different fire intensities. Heated soils were incubated for 100 days…

AN INCUBATION EXPERIMENT TO DETERMINE FACTORS INVOLVING AGGREGATION CHANGES IN AN ARID SOIL RECEIVING URBAN REFUSE

The effect of the addition of urban refuse (UR) on the percentage of stable aggregates in a semi-arid structureless soil was studied in a 67-day incubation experiment. Twelve systems were established…

Long-Term Effects of Irrigation with Waste Water on Soil AM Fungi Diversity and Microbial Activities: The Implications for Agro-Ecosystem Resilience

The ecosystem resilience gave rise to the selection of AMF species better able to thrive in soils with higher microbial activity and, thus, to higher soil fertility, as no negative effects were observed on crop vitality and productivity.

Short-term effects of treated wastewater irrigation on Mediterranean calcareous soil

Water shortage and soil degradation are the two most important environmental problems in the Mediterranean area. For this reason, strategies for soil and water conservation are necessary. Our…

Immediate effects of wildfires on water repellency and aggregate stability in Mediterranean calcareous soils

Alkaline soils are considered much less prone to developing water repellency induced by fire than acidic soils. Here we report on the persistence of water repellency present in calcareous soils…

Soil microbial recolonisation after a fire in a Mediterranean forest

The wildfire event had resulted in a decrease in microbial biomass, with a more bacteria-dominated microbial community, and changes in the microbial community structure were determined directly after the fire and four times during the recovery period.
