Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10960-10978, September 2026.ABSTRACT Soil compaction poses a significant threat to soil quality and sustainability, necessitating advanced assessment methods. We hypothesized that incorporating x‐ray computed tomography (XCT)‐derived pore characteristics with hydraulic properties would significantly enhance the development of a soil quality index (SQI) under soil compaction ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11019-11035, September 2026.ABSTRACT Sustaining soil potassium (K) supply in intensive continuous cropping systems is increasingly challenging because long‐term crop removal often exceeds the natural replenishment capacity of soil K‐bearing minerals, leading to progressive depletion of plant‐available K pools.

New experimental method for loess collapsibility using centrifugal model tests
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017 The methods for loess collapsibility mainly include field immersion testing method and laboratory testing method. A majority of the results of laboratory testing method differ greatly from the engineering practice.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11565-11582, September 2026.ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

A review of preferential flow and transport through root channels
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.Abstract Preferential flow can contribute up to 80%–90% of the flow and transport in the vadose zone. The root channels are the most prevalent form of preferential pathways. They create an evolving network of preferential pathways and are biogeochemical hotspots due to preferential transport of nutrients and other organics, colonization of bacteria ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1260-1274, September 2026.Through whole‐genome sequencing of P. machaon populations across Europe, we demonstrate that P. m. britannicus forms a genetically distinct and isolated lineage. Demographic modelling revealed weak historical gene flow from the continent. Although P. m.

Journal of School Health, Volume 96, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background We examined patient and visit trends in pediatric emergency department (ED) usage during the school year and summer breaks before, during, and after the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods We extracted data on mental health‐related visits to the ED of an academic medical center from 2018 to 2023 among youth aged 5–18.

Geophysical update of the diameter of the Zhamanshin impact structure, Kazakhstan
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2284-2302, September 2026.Abstract The rim of the 0.9‐Ma‐old Zhamanshin impact crater in Kazakhstan is considered to be almost completely exposed via a series of hills surrounding a central flat area, indicating an apparent diameter of 14 km. This would make Zhamanshin the second largest impact crater of the Quaternary period. However, the overall geometry of these hills is not

Unravelling upbuilding pedogenesis in tephra and loess sequences in New Zealand using tephrochronology [PDF]
, 2010 The genesis of soils developed in either tephra or loess on stable sites differs markedly from that of soils developed on rock because classical topdown processes operate in conjuction with geological processes whereby material is added to the land ...
