The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Organic Matter Quality and Microbial Activity in Soils Managed With Brachiaria Succession
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Although succession systems and brachiaria improve soil quality, gaps remain in microbial community dynamics, activity, and soil organic matter stocks. Methods The objective was to evaluate the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks of soil organic matter fractions and their distribution, molecular characterization, enzyme activity ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and aim Conservation agriculture (CA) is rapidly gaining traction to promote sustainable crop production, focusing on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and strategic crop rotation. Moreover, hydrogel is increasingly being used to improve water retention, including in combination with CA, particularly in water limited ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.Topography shapes ecosystem controls, driving microclimate, hydrology, and vegetation, which, in turn, influence topsoil traits and DOM composition in coastal dune soils. Distinct molecular patterns emerge across north‐facing and south‐facing slopes and dune valleys.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Nitrate (NO3−) leaching is a major nitrogen (N) loss pathway in agriculture and may increase with more frequent heavy rainfall. Nitrification inhibitors, such as 3,4‐dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), can reduce these losses, but their effectiveness under frequent heavy rainfall events remains unclear, which limits their targeted ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Soil fertility management in mango and banana production systems in northern Peru is limited by marked spatial heterogeneity, driven by chemical imbalances, particularly salinity, alkalinity, and sodicity. Aim This study developed a spatial predictive framework to assess soil quality across the agricultural area of Morropón Province,
