Undersowing rare arable plants in cereals as a new instrument in weed management—Restoration ecology meets weed science

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
The establishment of RAP in spring barley suppressed common weeds and reduced their coverage. This led us to the assumption of a natural weed suppression that can be considered for biodiversity‐enhancing approaches in weed management. For weed management, we recommend seeding mixtures of RAP, whereas topsoil translocation requires further investigation

Soil Drainage as an Active Agent of Recent Soil Evolution [PDF]

, 2009
International audienceWhile research on pedogenesis mainly focuses on long-term soil formation and most often neglects recent soil evolution in response to human practices or climate changes, this article reviews the impact of artificial subsurface ...

Humic Acids Properties of Luvisol of 40-Year Fertilizer Experiment

Agronomy
The purpose of this research was to determine the properties of humic acids isolated from soil samples taken from a 40-year static experiment—the experimental factors were fertilization with manure (30 t ha−1; FYM) and nitrogen at rates of 40, 60 and 120 t ha−1.

Microplastic and drought influence the positive effect of plant diversity on plant biomass production

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Microplastic and drought influenced plant diversity–biomass relationships in a glasshouse grassland experiment. Microplastic reduced the shoot biomass of grasses and legumes, weakening the positive selection effects. In contrast, drought strongly suppressed the shoot biomass of legumes, resulting in negative complementarity and a negative net diversity

A semi-empirical dynamic soil acidification model for use in spatially explicit integrated assessment models for Europe [PDF]

A semi-empirical soil acidification model was developed for use in integrated assessment models on a European scale. The model simulates the time development of base saturation and aluminium concentration using an empirical relationship with pH.

Above‐ and below‐ground trait coordination across 90 angiosperm and gymnosperm tree species in a common garden experiment

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
This research highlights the significance of elucidating the mechanisms behind above‐and below‐ground organs. The varying trait coordination across clades indicates different resource acquisition strategies above‐ and below‐ground, highlighting the need to consider large‐scale phylogenetic relatedness to better understand plant fitness.

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

, 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

Land‐Use Change Scenarios in Former Agricultural Lands in a Marginal Area in the Eastern Baltics, Case of Latvia

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
ABSTRACT Although land‐use change in post‐socialist countries has been widely studied, most research has focused on the post‐1990 transition period, emphasizing socio‐economic and institutional drivers. In contrast, limited attention has been given to land‐use dynamics during the Soviet period and their lasting impacts on landscape structure and soil ...

Soil texture governs the influence of different microplastics on soil hydraulic properties

Vadose Zone Journal
Adequate water availability in soil is crucial for optimal plant growth. However, even small amounts of microplastics (MPs) can disrupt the soil pore structure, impacting water retention and hydraulic conductivity, and consequently plant‐available water.
