Effects of Biofertilizers and Organic Amendments on Nutrient Availability in Soil and Plant Growth
… that applications of 800-1600 kg/ha can increase available water capacity in fine textured soils by up to 3%. The second study evaluated the effectiveness of dual-inoculating biofertilizers Mung beans (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) with two, bradyrhizobium spp. and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Dual …

Change in piñon-juniper woodland cover since Euro-American settlement: expansion versus contraction associated with soil properties
… upon shallow, rocky soil types with low soil available water capacity (AWC). These low soil AWC areas support little herbaceous vegetation and thus had less grazing pressure and were unlikely to carry frequent surface fires historically, suggesting that fire suppression and grazing were not …
