Soil enzyme and microbial activities in a grazing ecosystem of Patagonian Monte, Argentina (2011, background): “Since arid and semiarid ecosystems cover more than 37% of the global land surface (Lal, 2004), land management impacts should be carefully analyzed to avoid land degradation (Bertiller et al., 2002; Lechmere-Oertel et al., 2005).”
Plant functional diversity and carbon storage – an empirical test in semi‐arid forest ecosystems (2013, methodology): “This method was selected to avoid any bias in the estimation due to the presence of carbonates below 10 cm depth (Mazzarino et al. 1991), a common feature of soils found in arid and semi-arid environments (Lal 2004).”
