Organic carbon in Mollisols of the world – a review
1st International Conference of Soil and Agriculture TOWARDS SOIL SUSTAINABILITY/9788372594570, 2023 Mollisols represent 29 % of agricultural land and they are considered to be one of the most fertile soils in the world. Here, we compare soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations and pools of Mollisols for the globe, the USA and Poland, and review how differences are caused by climate, land use, and key environmental factors.

The Lower Boundary of Selected Mollisols [PDF]
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1967 Abstract Thicknesses of three Mollisols (Tama, Elburn, and Drummer series), developed from Wisconsinan‐age material in a toposequence in Central Illinois, were considerably greater (18 to 68 cm) when their lower boundaries were determined by the depth of rooting of native perennial big bluestem (

Effect of soil health management on soil water storage for climate resilience
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Soil health (SH) management has been promoted to improve climate resilience across agricultural systems. An on‐farm field study was conducted to (1) evaluate the soil water storage (SWS) in SH and conventional (CV) management systems across four paired sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin and (2) to assess the response of these management systems ...

Soil, competition, and niche shifts shape the floral mosaic of an annual plant diversity hotspot
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Premise Plant species with affinity for harsh substrates often have well‐defined edaphic (soil) niches and are ideal for exploring questions of community assembly. Vertic clay soils are chemically and physically challenging to plant establishment and productivity, and annual plant communities associated with these soils of the San Joaquin ...

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.Conceptual model of depth‐stratified soil acidification under long‐term no‐till in temperate (Washington, USA) and tropical (Brazilian Oxisol) systems. Nitrogen inputs promote surface acidification (↓pH) and increased Al3+ activity, while lime or silicate amendments modify base cation dynamics. Increased DOC–Al complexation reduces free Al3+ and alters

Dominant Species Drive Biomass and Diversity Responses to Nutrient Inputs
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.In a mesic grassland co‐limited by nitrogen and phosphorus, responses in plant community diversity and particularly of dominant species do not always correspond to responses in aboveground net primary productivity and functional group biomass production.

Community‐based long‐term management to address reinvasion of restored grassland vernal wetlands
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Exotic annual grasses can dominate ecosystems by producing a thick layer of dead plant litter, hereafter “thatch,” which promotes the regeneration of exotic grasses and inhibits native plants. Vernal pool wetlands within a grassland matrix are threatened by these exotic annual grasses, meriting the need for long‐term management.

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 ...
