Pedology and Plant Provenance Can Improve Species Distribution Predictions of Australian Native Flora: A Calibrated and Validated Modeling Exercise on 5033 Species. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Climate dominates species distribution models. Deserts depend more on soil factors. Higher thresholds improve model accuracy. Integrated models outperform single‐variable ones. Temperate regions show highest species richness. ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are valuable tools for assessing species' responses to environmental factors and ...

Hydrological and Biogeochemical Controls of the Seasonality of Particulate and Dissolved Nitrogen Exports During Rainfall Events From a Forested Watershed in Monsoon Asia, Japan

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 59, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Few studies have investigated the effects of hydrological conditions such as rainfall magnitude and soil nitrogen dynamics on nitrogen export from forests during rainfall events. In this study, the seasonal export of particulate and dissolved nitrogen during 24 rainfall events (range: 3.0–417 mm) in a temperate monsoon forest watershed in ...

Water reuse for irrigated agriculture in Jordan: challenges of soil sustainability and the role of management strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Reclaimed water provides an important contribution to the water balance in water-scarce Jordan, but the quality of this water presents both benefits and challenges. Careful management of reclaimed water is required to maximize the nutrient benefits while

Carbon storage and DNA absorption in allophanic soils and paleosols [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Andisols and andic paleosols dominated by the nanocrystalline mineral allophane sequester large amounts of carbon (C), attributable mainly to its chemical bonding with charged hydroxyl groups on the surface of allophane together with its physical ...

Pedological Investigations of Pleistocene Glacial Drift Surfaces in the Central Yukon [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Distinct soil morphologies associated with three different ages of Quaternary glacial deposits are characterized and subsequently named. Properties which provide a basis for distinguishing these in the field include solum depth, B horizon colour, clay ...

Assessment of hydrological and seasonal controls over the nitrate flushing from a forested watershed using a data mining technique [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A data mining, regression tree algorithm M5 was used to review the role of mutual hydrological and seasonal settings which control the streamwater nitrate flushing during hydrological events within a forested watershed in the southwestern part of ...

Pukekohe silt loam, Pukekohe Hill [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Pukekohe Hill is an excellent starting point for the tour in various ways: it provides a commanding view of important market gardens developed within Ultisols, and associated landuse issues, and the Massey Memorial on the hilltop commemorates Irish-born,

Anthropogenic impact on amorphous silica pools in temperate soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Human land use changes perturb biogeochemical silica (Si) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. This directly affects Si mobilisation and Si storage and influences Si export from the continents, although the magnitude of the impact is unknown.

Abiotic and biotic factors affecting formation of soil in the Earth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The soil is formed and affected by a number of biotic and abiotic factors. The soil forming factors are climate, organisms, relief, parent material and time.  A review on factors of soil formation was carried out with support from relevant ...

Soil Development in Quaternary Glacial Deposits, Waterton Park Area, Southwestern Alberta [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Pedological investigations in the Waterton Park area provide a useful means of testing subdivisions of Quaternary glacial deposits based on geomorphic relations. Soils in the region, however, including Podzols, Brunisols, Luvisols, and Chernozemics, also
