| Description | : Soil organic matter is highly relevant to multiple soil processes and functions. How much needs to be applied from which quality to supply specific functions, however, is not clear. A long term field experiment with plots that have received input from crop roots only, can be compared with adjacent fields that received animal manure and crop residues for ±50 years. The thesis project can be designed depending on your interest in specific soil functions/processes. |
