Continental drivers of ammonium and nitrate in Australian soil under different land uses
<p>Soil N is an essential element for plant growth, but its mineral forms are subject to loss to the environment by leaching and gaseous emissions. Despite its importance for the soil-plant system, factors

Effect of deforestation and subsequent land-use management on soil carbon stocks in the South American Chaco
<p>The sub-humid Chaco region of Argentina, originally covered by dry sclerophyll forest, has been subjected to clearing since the end of the '70 and replacement of the forest by no till farming. Land
