Quantifying the Spatial Footprint of Agriculture‐Driven Edge Effects in a Global Deforestation Hotspot

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Tropical dry forests face increasing pressure from agricultural expansion, but how this expansion impacts on remaining forests is unclear. We quantified and mapped agricultural edge effects on tree cover, shrub cover, and above‐ground biomass in the Argentine Chaco, a global deforestation hotspot.

Impact of tillage on physical characteristics in a Mollisol of Northeast China

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2014
Soil management is aimed at the maintenance of optimal soil physical quality for crop production. In order to explore the effects of tillage practices on soil physical properties, a study was conducted to compare the effects of no tillage (NT), moldboard

Relationships Between Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Degraded Red and Black Soils Amended With Magnesium Treated Biochar

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
The use of pristine and Mg‐modified biochar under acidic soils is of great interest. The biochar addition increases the pH of acidic soils and improves the soil health, and side by side increases the availability of nutrients such as phosphorus. Furthermore, the current study also documented that with the addition of biochar, greenhouse gas emission ...

Chitin amendments eliminate the negative impacts of continuous cropping obstacles on soil properties and microbial assemblage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Continuous cropping of soybean leads to soil environment deterioration and soil-borne disease exacerbation, which in turn limits the sustainability of agricultural production.

Assessing impact of conservation agriculture practices on soil physical properties under on‐farm conditions in Central Ohio, USA

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Basic indicators of soil health that influence water infiltration, root growth, gaseous exchange, and overall agronomic productivity are soil physical properties such as bulk density (BD), total porosity (TP), particle density (PD), and penetration resistance (PR).

Dual versus single inhibitors: Which strategy best mitigates nitrogen losses in coarse‐textured soils? A laboratory evaluation

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Enhanced efficiency fertilizers, including urease inhibitors (UIs), nitrification inhibitors (NIs), and dual inhibitors (DIs [UI + NI]), are widely used to reduce nitrogen (N) losses and improve crop nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, their relative effectiveness across multiple nitrogen loss pathways remains unclear.

Repeated use of anion‐exchange membranes in soils alters the membrane surface and phosphate‐P exchange capacity

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are widely used to assess soil phosphorus (P) cycling. However, the routine reuse of AEM for soil extractions may impact the surface properties of AEM and thus phosphate‐P exchange. We evaluated changes in AEM surface morphology, chemical composition, and phosphate‐P exchange capacity after varying degrees of ...

Assessment of Soil Degradation by Erosion in a Small Catchment in the Black Soil Region of Northeast China

Soil Systems
Soil erosion and deposition processes act as key drivers of soil resources distribution across landscapes, affecting soil quality and functionality. However, the impacts of long-term soil erosion on soil quality and degradation in the black soil region ...

Changing soil carbon: influencing factors, sequestration strategy and research direction

Carbon Balance and Management, 2020
Soil carbon (C) plays a critical role in the global C cycle and has a profound effect on climate change. To obtain an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of global soil C changes and better manage soil C, all meta-analysis results published during ...
