Five decades of hand‐feel soil texture estimation: Accuracy, challenges, and improvements

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil texture refers to the proportion of fine soil particles with diameters less than 2 mm, classified into particle size categories that define the soil texture class. Hand‐feel estimation in the field is widely used by soil scientists and technicians during pedological surveys to characterize soil horizons.

MICROMORPHOLOGY AND PEDOGENESIS OF MOUNTAINOUS INCEPTISOLS IN THE MANTIQUEIRA RANGE (MG) [PDF]

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2015
ABSTRACTUnderstanding soil formation processes across different landscapes is needed to predict how soil properties will respond to land use change. This study aimed to characterize mountainous Inceptisols (Cambisols) under high altitude subtropical climate in southeastern Brazil, by soil physical, chemical and micromorphological analyses, under native

Pedology and its relationship to cropping decisions in Kamuli District, Uganda

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Kamuli District offers an opportunity to understand pedology and cropping decisions in an area that has been underdocumented. Broad, flat summits and narrow convex shoulders are composed of residuum formed from Precambrian granite. Valleys mirror the summits, that is, broad flats composed of alluvium that are rimmed by narrow concave toeslopes.

Response of Brassica rapa var. parachinensis grown on copper contaminated Oxisol, Inceptisol and Histosol [PDF]

, 2013
Copper (Cu) plays a key role in plant physiological and biochemical function but is harmful to plants when in excess. Copper availability is influenced by the mineralogical and chemical properties of soils.

Inceptisol Physicochemical Attributes in the Caatinga Biome Agroforestry Systems [PDF]

Floresta e Ambiente, 2018
ABSTRACT We evaluated two areas of sustainable management within the Caatinga and one area of conventional agricultural cultivation to compare their physicochemical attributes with those of native forest. The management strategies were as follows: (1) thinning of savanna; (2) thinning of strips; (3) conventional tillage with plowing and harrowing; and (

Network‐wide assessment of soil water content calibration and sensitivity to biomass proxies using cosmic‐ray neutron sensing in the Roaring Fork Basin, Colorado

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil water content (SWC) is a key state variable of the climate system but is often uncertain in water balance monitoring, especially in alpine environments. SWC measurements can be challenging in alpine environments due to the topography and rocky soils.

The Effects of Burning Intensity on the Soil C-Related Properties and Mineralogy of Two Contrasting Forest Soils from Chilean National Parks

Fire
Forest fires alter multiple soil properties, from those related to the carbon cycle to mineralogy; however, the responses of various soils to thermal impact remain unclear.

Growth and yield of teak stands at different spacing [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2018
: The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth and yield of teak (Tectona grandis) stands at different spacing and in different soil classes. Twelve spacing were evaluated in an Inceptisol and Oxisol, in plots with an area of 1,505 or 1,548 m2 ...
