To study the structure and function of soil organic matter, soil scientists have performed alkali
extractions for soil humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) fractions for more than 200 years. …

Agricultural policy frameworks aim to develop scientifically sound measures that can be used
to assess the environmental performance and risks associated with agricultural systems. …

The limitation of 16S rRNA gene sequencing (DNA-based) for microbial community
analyses in water is the inability to differentiate live (dormant cells as well as growing or non-growing …

Intensive tillage moves large quantities of soil, resulting in a pattern of soil redistribution
where topsoil is depleted from convex slope positions and deposited in concave positions. In …

Total soil erosion is the integrated result of all forms of soil erosion — wind, water and tillage.
It has been recognized that in topographically complex landscapes, individual soil erosion …

Access to safe drinking water is now recognized as a human right by the United Nations. In
developed countries like Canada, access to clean water is generally not a matter of concern. …

This study compared the degradation of [carboxyl- 14 C] 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)
(C2,4-D) and [ring-U- 14 C] 2,4-D (R2,4-D) in 114 agricultural soils (0–15cm) as affected …

This research examined the impact of field-aged phosphate and cadmium (Cd) concentrations,
and fresh phosphate co-applications, on glyphosate sorption by soil. Soil samples were …

A small laboratory flume on a 0.035 mm −1 slope was used to examine particle selection in
shallow flows. Initial experiments were carried out on smooth surfaces to measure travel …

Soil columns with established earthworm burrow structures were subjected to 14 and 47 mm
h −1 rainstorms to study the effects of Lumbricus terrestris L. burrowing and feeding activity …
