Use and understanding of organic amendments in Australian agriculture: a review (2011, background): “Kibblewhite et al. (2008) describes the health of agricultural soil as its ability to support agronomic activity and maintain ecosystem services.”
Agronomic Management for Enhancing Plant Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses—Drought, Salinity, Hypoxia, and Lodging (2017, background): “Self-healing capacity of soils [20] Organic or inorganic soil mulching [22] Minimum tillage and no tillage [19,21] Tillage at moisture content at which the largest number of small aggregates is produced [23] Amendments: - organic matter (e.”
Where are the best opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the food system (including the food chain) (2011, background): “It may be helpful to consider soil carbon sequestration as an outcome of good agricultural management rather than a prime goal (Kibblewhite et al., 2008).”
Insights into the resistance and resilience of the soil microbial community. (2013, background): “This could provide a quantitative measure of soil health, which could translate into policy advice and improved land management practices (Griffiths et al., 2001a; Kibblewhite et al., 2008).”
Soil “Ecosystem” Services and Natural Capital: Critical Appraisal of Research on Uncertain Ground (2016, methodology): “To frame this analysis properly, it is useful to first recognize that uses of soils by human populations go back to the night of times, and that researchers acknowledged the multi-functionality of soils several decades before the notion of their “ecosystem services” ever surfaced.”
Agricultural sustainability: concepts, principles and evidence (2008, background): “The on-farm biological processes that make sustainable agroecosystems productive also take time to become established (Firbank et al. 2008; Kibblewhite et al. 2008; Wade et al. 2008).”
Global decomposition experiment shows soil animal impacts on decomposition are climate-dependent (2008, background): “, 2004), although conceptually considered to be key drivers of litter decomposition rates (e.g. Wardle, 1995; Lavelle, 1997; Coleman & Hendrix, 2000; Kibblewhite et al., 2008).”
Plant growth-promoting bacteria as inoculants in agricultural soils (2015, background): “The factors controlling broadrange soil health comprise chemical, physical, and biological features, such as soil type, climate, cropping patterns, use of pesticides and fertilizers, availability of C substrates and nutrients, toxic material concentrations, and the presence or absence of specific as”
Soil fauna and soil functions: a jigsaw puzzle (2014, background): “All these functions are provided by the variety of organisms which live in the soil, i.e., they are functional outputs of biological processes (Kibblewhite et al., 2008).”
Effects of conventional tillage and no tillage permutations on extracellular soil enzyme activities and microbial biomass under rice cultivation (2014, background): “Plant growth depends positively on nutrients which are released during reactions catalyzed by enzymes secreted into the soil by microbes and plants (Kibblewhite et al., 2008; Karaca et al., 2011).”
Biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity as key drivers of ecosystem services provided by soils (2015, methodology): “SOM or soil carbon are widely used proxy variables for soil health (e.g. Kibblewhite et al., 2008).”
