Compost legacy effects in active roadside restoration: Medium‐term shifts in plant succession

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Roadside restoration experiment established on volcanic tephra following road construction in Andean Patagonia. A single application of municipal (MC) or biosolids (BC) compost rapidly increased plant cover compared with untreated controls (C) but led to distinct, exotic‐dominated plant communities over 6 years.

Soil organic matter and F1 hybrid cultivar influence Coffea arabica yields in south‐central Guatemala

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Smallholders produce 60% of global coffee (Coffea arabica) supply but lack recommendations on nutrient management. We tested hypothesized N‐ and K‐driven yield gaps using on‐farm omission trials established across 21 fields in Guatemala. The effects of a single and combined application of N (285 kg ha−1) and K (350 kg ha−1) were evaluated for ...

High‐Resolution Soil Total Phosphorus Mapping for the Conterminous USA Using Machine Learning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Accurate estimates of soil total phosphorus (TP) concentrations are essential for sustainable nutrient management, food security, and water quality protection. This study predicts and maps the spatial distribution of TP in the top 5 cm and C horizon of soils across the conterminous USA (CONUS) using data from the Geochemical and Mineralogical ...

Unravelling Subsoil Acidification: Mechanisms, Consequences and Remediation

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
ABSTRACT Subsoil acidification is an intractable agronomic challenge worldwide, and its amelioration is costly and often practically infeasible. Because most studies are confined to the topsoil, acidity development in subsoil commonly remains undetected until it becomes severe.

Effect of Different Types of Biochar Applications and Phosphate Fertilizer on the Quality and Yield of Edamame Soybeans on Andisols

Caraka Tani: Journal of Sustainable Agriculture
Edamame soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivation in phosphorus-limited Andisols presents a formidable challenge due to restricted phosphorus availability despite high phosphorus retention.

Systematic Review on the Impact of Climate Change on Soil Properties: Implications for Sustainable Land Management

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Climate change significantly affects soil properties, posing challenges for sustainable land management. This review synthesizes recent findings on the impact of climate change rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and an increased frequency of extreme weather events—on key soil attributes, including organic carbon content, pH, bulk ...

Land use and soil characteristics are associated with increased risk of treponeme‐associated hoof disease in elk

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Environments can shape the occurrence and extent of disease outbreaks in wildlife. We studied the effects of environmental features on the occurrence of treponeme‐associated hoof disease (TAHD), an emerging infectious disease of free‐ranging elk (Cervus canadensis), in southwestern Washington, USA.

The effect of microorganisms, manure, and citronella on the Pb and Cd content in heavy metal-contaminated soil and potato yields

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management
The Dieng region in Central Java, Indonesia, is a major horticulture commodities center, covering approximately 3,000 hectares of Andisols. Since the 1980s, long-term use of organic and inorganic fertilizers as well as pesticides has led to the ...
