Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

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.

Using Geophysical Observations of a Tracer Injection in a Riparian Aquifer to Explore How Bimodal Transport and Mixing Influences Nitrate Processing

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our results embrace a simple conceptual model of preferential flow to illuminate the relationships among riparian groundwater nitrate concentration, flow dynamics, and substrate composition in stream corridors loaded with elevated nitrate from agricultural activities.

Soil Organic Matter Stabilization by Polyvalent Cations in a Buried Alkaline Soil

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Buried paleosols can store large quantities of organic carbon (C), much of which persists for millennia due to isolation from surface processes that promote decomposition. Subsoil organic matter (SOM) persistence is often enhanced by mineral associations and ionic conditions—particularly high clay content and polyvalent cations—that limit ...

Assessment of Selected Soil Properties and Soil Structural Stability Under Irrigation Schemes in Central and North Western Tigray, Ethiopia

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Assessment of soil physicochemical properties and soil structural stability is an important issue to understand the status of soils under irrigated schemes and maintain optimum soil wellbeing. Therefore, it is hypothesized that the soil physicochemical properties, including bulk density (BD), texture, major soil nutrients such as nitrogen, available ...

Desert pavements: A hidden key to Earth surface processes

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
Desert pavements are a global phenomenon in arid environments, representing one of the most extensive geomorphological and geoecological features on Earth. To a large extent, they determine the interplay of key processes governing current and past landscape dynamics.

Rethinking Global Soil Degradation: Drivers, Impacts, and Solutions

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could ...

Data‐Model Integration to Unravel Critical Zone Dynamics: Challenges, Successes, and Future Directions

WIREs Water, Volume 12, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
A three‐tiered example of data‐model integration for understanding dissolved organic carbon and stream discharge dynamics. ABSTRACT In the Anthropocene—a period marked by rapid environmental change—understanding the critical zone (CZ), the Earth's outer layer where rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms interact, is crucial.

Balancing Productivity and Climate Impact: A Framework to Assess Climate‐Smart Irrigation

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Changes in rainfall and temperature regimes increasingly threaten global crop productivity, particularly in water‐limited regions. Climate‐smart agriculture aims to improve yields while minimizing its climate impact, such as from soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions driven by microbial activity.
