Reliable determination of the response of soil organic carbon decomposition to temperature is criticalin the context of global warming. However, uncertainties remain in estimating the sensitivity of soil respiration to soil temperature, which may be due in part to different experimental conditions to investigate the possibleeffects of temperature effects of temperature on the estimated value … Read more

The effect of drought on soil water content, broad beans crop and in the root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Rhizobium nodulation during a growth cycle under different tillage systems has been evaluated: no tillage (NT), reduced tillage (RT) (conservation tillage) and traditional tillage (TT) (mouldboard). The results indicate that the reduction in … Read more
