We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Organic Matter Quality and Microbial Activity in Soils Managed With Brachiaria Succession
ABSTRACT Background Although succession systems and brachiaria improve soil quality, gaps remain in microbial community dynamics, activity, and soil organic matter stocks. Methods The objective was to evaluate the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks of soil organic matter fractions and their distribution, molecular characterization, enzyme activity ...

Topography shapes ecosystem controls, driving microclimate, hydrology, and vegetation, which, in turn, influence topsoil traits and DOM composition in coastal dune soils. Distinct molecular patterns emerge across north‐facing and south‐facing slopes and dune valleys.

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?
ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.
