Effects of Different Vegetation Restoration Measures on the Disintegration Characteristics of Eroded Degraded Land of Pinus massoniana in Red Soil Region by XI Jie, WU Zehua, LIN Qiang, WU Jieling, ZHANG Liu, ZHOU Shiqi, ZHOU Qin, SUN Lili, ZHA Xuan

“…The tree-shrub-grass furrow model (E3) was more suitable for the treatment of severely degraded P. massoniana land. (2) Soil organic carbon content, total phosphorus content, available phosphorus content, total potassium content, available potassium content, water content and aggregate characteristics were the main influencing factors of soil disintegration. (3) Among various factors affecting soil disintegration, soil geometric mean diameter (GMD) was the main direct influencing factor and played a dominant controlling role. …”

Are Alum-Based Drinking Water Treatment Residuals Safe for Land Application? by Jonathan D. Judy, Maria L. Silveira, Sampson Agyin-Birikorang, George A. O'Connor

“… Land application of aluminum-based WTRs (Al-WTR) has been demonstrated to effectively control off-site phosphorus loss to surface and groundwater. Therefore, amending soil with Al-WTR could be a best management practice (BMP) to reduce off-site P losses from agricultural fields via runoff and leaching. …”

Effects of Mixing Tree Species on Soil Enzyme Activity and Carbon-Use Efficiency in Eroded Masson Pine Forest by WANG Man, JIANG Yongmeng, ZHANG Shiliang, ZHANG Jinxiu, ZHENG Linmin, ZENG Zhiwei, LYU Maokui, XIE Jinsheng

“…[Results] (1) With the increase of restoration years, soil acid phosphatase (AP) and β-glucosidase (βG) activities were significantly reduced, while C∶NEEA (βG∶NAG), vector length (VL) and vector angle (VA) of the mixed forest were lower than that of pure forest, while C∶PEEA (βG∶AP) and N∶PEEA (NAG∶AP) showed the opposite trend, indicating that long-term mixing is beneficial to alleviate the carbon limitation and phosphorus limitation of microorganisms. (2) Mixing was beneficial to improve CUE and significantly increased with the increase of forest age. …”
