Humic substances represent a crucial component of soil organic matter, playing an instrumental role in nutrient cycling, water retention and the enhancement of soil structure. Their complex and ...

With increasing pressure to efficiently produce more food, fiber and fuel to meet world demands, a number of soil and plant amendment products have emerged. These amendments are under the umbrella of ...

High temperature effects on soil humic substances were investigated both in natural and laboratory conditions. Differential Thermal Analysis and pyrolysis show that only temperatures above 250°C ...

Whole soil samples, extracted humic substances, the corresponding fulvic (FA) and humic acids (HA) and the extraction residues (humins) from long-term, agricultural test plots were investigated by ...

Soils are the basis of life and climate protectors at the same time – but things are not good for them. Due to overfertilization, deforestation, salinization and overgrazing, nearly two billion ...

Scientists from Russia demonstrated a novel approach leveraging the combination of high-resolution mass spectrometry and chemoinformatics to identify biologically active molecular components of humic ...

AGRICULTURE has been the mainstay of Pakistan’s economy for many years, though in recent years its importance has somewhat declined. There are several issues regarding agriculture, but some are ...

A new study finds that rinsing biochar removes dissolved organics - the key to trapping toxic lead and cleaning contaminated water.
