Abstract: Abstract Intensification of agricultural management practices, including irrigation and addition of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, can lead to enhanced N leaching and loss of soil fertility. In New Zealand, expansion of the dairy industry has rapidly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fcr.2017.08.016
Abstract: Abstract The reliance of current farming systems on synthetic fertilizers caused concerns about their sustainability, and alternatives to supply nitrogen through biological processes have to be adapted to practical conditions. The present study compared a… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-22-417-2025
Abstract: Abstract. Our knowledge of the magnitude and controls of Sphagnum decomposition rates is derived to a large extent from litterbag experiments that do not explicitly consider initial leaching losses. Previous research on vascular plants suggests… read more here.
