FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY: A SENSITIVE TOOL FOR IDENTIFYING LAND-USE AND CLIMATIC REGION EFFECTS ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WATER-EXTRACTABLE SOIL ORGANIC MATTER

Fluorescence spectroscopy: A sensitive tool for identifying land-use and climatic region effects on the characteristics of water-extractable soil organic matter

Water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) is an indicator of active and labile pools of chicago bears garden gnome soil organic matter (SOM).Land-use is expected to have a major effect on SOM, yet the effects of different land-uses on WEOM are not well understood.Reported trends in the changes in water-extractable organic C (WEOC) concentrations foll

Mapping soil organic carbon density via geographically weighted regression with smooth terms: A case study in Shanxi Province

Soil, as the largest organic carbon reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems, plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle.Accurately predicting the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon density (SOCD) is highly important for estimating organic carbon stocks and guiding agricultural production.Due to the complex relationship between the spatial

Tiered Levels of Resting Cortisol in an Athletic Population. A Potential Role for Interpretation in Biopsychosocial Assessment?

Background: Cortisol is a steroid hormone that follows a distinct diurnal timeline; however, while healthy ranges exist, it not been determined whether or why individuals differ on baseline cortisol levels.The aim of this study was to test the anecdotal evidence of different levels of responders by classifying these levels in resting cortisol, and
