Effects of long‐term nitrogen addition on two dominant species in a drought‐prone Mediterranean forest

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study aimed to assess the long‐term effects of nitrogen (N) addition on recruitment, growth, survival, and physiological responses in Quercus ilex and Phillyrea latifolia, two codominant species typical in the Mediterranean forests. Here, we present a 9‐year N addition experiment (20 kg N ha−1 year−1, δ15N‐enriched) in an N‐limited ...

Influence of zinc deficiency on the mineral composition of maize plants in contrasting soils

Bioscience Journal, 2016
In Brazil, Zn deficiency is common in soils used for maize cultivation. However, the changes in the mineral composition in plants with Zn deficiency have been little studied.

Are Cambisols in Alpine Karst Autochthonous or Eolian in Origin

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2008
ABSTRACT This paper deals with a two-year study of karst soils and eolian dust deposition on the Reiteralpe paleosurface (1600 to 2000 m), Northern Calcareous Alps, Germany. Thirty soil profiles of Cambisols developed on Triassic and Cretaceous limestones are investigated.

Modeling Land Management Impacts: Asymmetric Reductions of Sediment and Phosphorus Versus Legacy Nitrogen in the Enkare Narok Catchment in Kenya

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Conservation practices in an East African catchment dramatically cut sediment (80%) and phosphorus (76%) loads but are markedly less effective on nitrogen (8% reduction) due to legacy groundwater nitrate, revealing a critical trade‐off between water quality and quantity.

Cambisols Classification in "Central Balkan" National Park

Bulgarian Journal of Soil Science, 2016
Analysis of the Cambisols classification on the territory of the Central Balkan National Park has been carried out. The assessment of the available information has revealed the insufficient level of knowledge and use of outdated criteria for soil definition.

Resistance and Recovery of Crop Productivity From Contrasted Soil Fertility

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The balance between crop production and environmental sustainability depends on an adequate supply of soil nutrients, although changes in nutrient supply may initially have little effect on crop production due to the buffering effects of soil nutrients and the overall resilience of the system.

Tree species diversity drives above‐ground carbon sequestration through light‐related trait shifts

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1656-1675, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits can vary in response to tree species mixing, which in turn might influence biomass production and, consequently, carbon (C) sequestration in diverse forests.

WATER INFILTRATION IN TWO CULTIVATED SOILS IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2015
Infiltration is the passage of water through the soil surface, influenced by the soil type and cultivation and by the soil roughness, surface cover and water content.

Fertilization influences overyielding through dominance of species with high specific leaf area in young tree mixtures

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1755-1775, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the context of anthropogenic eutrophication of the biosphere, understanding the impact of nutrient addition on plant diversity–productivity relationships remains a major challenge.

Long‐term warming drives mineral‐associated organic carbon accumulation on the Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1809-1821, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global warming affects both plant growth and soil microbial decomposition, creating uncertainty for the storage and persistence of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. Limited decomposition rates often characterise cold alpine ecosystems.
