Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Columnanidus calitzdorpensis ichnogen. ichnosp. nov: A new Middle Pleistocene subterranean termite trace fossil from South Africa

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Termites are landscape geo‐engineers whose nesting activities substantially modify the physical and chemical properties of soils. Fossilised termite nests commonly constitute the only identifiable evidence of ancient termite activity and represent valuable trace fossil archives for reconstructing past environments.

Identification and correlation of the Aso‐3 tephra in the Omaezaki area, central Japan: A valuable key stratum for the MIS 6/5 transition period

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Aso‐3 tephra is one of the most significant widespread marker layers from the Middle to Late Pleistocene, generated by a large caldera‐forming eruption at the Aso volcano in Kyushu, southwestern Japan. Despite its importance, a distal co‐ignimbrite ash correlative has yet to be clearly identified, primarily because although volcanic glass ...

Salmonella enterica serovars co‐exist sporadically and at low abundance in US mid‐Atlantic irrigation ponds

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Spring or rain‐fed ponds are frequent features on US mid‐Atlantic farms. The need to conduct preharvest agricultural water assessments to identify microbial hazards, as required by the US Produce Safety Rule, highlights knowledge gaps pertaining to pond water adequacy for vegetable production.

Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is,

Reclaimed Well Sites on Salt Affected Soils: Electrical Conductivity and Sodium Adsorption Ratio as Plant Community Response Indicators

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt affected soils are common worldwide, resulting from natural causes and anthropogenic activities. Saline and sodic soils often occur in association with oil and gas production, impacting soil properties which can impede vegetation growth and development.

Evaluating Erosional Stability of Reconstructed Mine Landscapes Using Landform Evolution Models: Parameterisation and Decadal‐Scale Erosion Assessment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring the long‐term erosional stability of post‐mining landforms remains a major challenge in open‐pit mining. Reconstructed landscapes must support the agreed post‐mining land use, such as cattle grazing in the Hunter region of southeastern Australia, requiring stable pasture and minimal soil loss.

Effects of Landscape Pattern on Spatial Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon Content in a Typical Lakeside Oasis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of the factors influencing the spatial distribution of farmland soil organic carbon (SOC) content contributes to a better understanding of human impacts on soil, which is crucial for improving soil quality and mitigating climate change.

Cropland Suitability–Use Mismatches and Differentiated Zoning Regulation in the North China Plain: Implications for Spatially Optimised and Sustainable Land Use

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cropland distribution is often shaped by historical cultivation patterns rather than natural suitability, leading to mismatches between actual land use and agricultural production potential. However, their extent and spatial characteristics remain insufficiently understood in the North China Plain, one of China's most important grain‐producing
