Agricultural soil is a type of soil that is used for productive activities of various crops, considered of great importance in terms of environmental decontamination since plants, apart from absorbing nutrients such as CO 2, also absorb different polluting …

Agricultural soil science is a branch of soil science that deals with the study of edaphic conditions as they relate to the production of food and fiber. In this context, it is also a constituent of the field of agronomy and is thus also described as soil agronomy. History

Ideal soils for agriculture are balanced in contributions from mineral components (sand: 0.05–2 mm, silt: 0.002–0.05 mm, clay: <0.002 mm), soil organic matter (SOM), air, and water. The ...

2021年1月1日 · The potential of agricultural soils in mitigating climate change is often overlooked while strategizing for soil health improvements to obtain long-term agricultural benefits. Soil health assessments incorporating climate change mitigation may support the use of private capital investment in farming practices and meet an increasing regulatory ...

2024年3月26日 · Agricultural soil microorganisms play a crucial role in farmland ecosystems and are integral to the material cycle in these environments. The composition and abundance of soil microorganisms are influenced by agronomic measures that alter the soil microenvironment. These changes are pivotal to enhancing crop resistance, maximizing yield, and facilitating nutrient cycling in farmlands.

The agricultural soil system is a subsystem of the agroecosystem, and the majority of its internal functions interact in a variety of ways across a range of spatial and temporal scales. As an example at the submillimetre scale, soil microbes modify soil structure by aggregating both mineral and organic constituents via production of ...

2024年7月1日 · The soil microbiome is an integral component of agricultural sustainability and is increasingly incorporated into metrics to evaluate soil health (Stott, 2019) and studied for its relationship to sustainable crop yields (Cesarano et al., 2017, Hartman et al., 2018, Hocine et al., 2021).The soil microbiome includes species from all three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryota and ...

Soil is a fundamental component of agriculture and life, and therefore one of our most important natural resources. Here you will find information on a broad range of topics, including soil science, health, structure, composition, biology and erosion.

2024年10月29日 · Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Health site ; USDA Agriculture Research Service: Climate Change, Soils and Emissions National Program ; Soil is a living and life-giving natural resource. As world population and food production demands rise, keeping our soil healthy and productive is of paramount importance. So much so that we ...

2022年4月12日 · Agricultural soils are often subject to agronomic practices that disrupt soil trophic networks and make soils less productive in the long term. In this scenario, sustainable soil use aimed at ...
