Selective sorption of dissolved organic carbon compounds by temperate soils. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Physico-chemical sorption onto soil minerals is one of the major processes of dissolved organic carbon (OC) stabilization in deeper soils. The interaction of DOC on soil solids is related to the reactivity of soil minerals, the chemistry of ...

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.

Network‐wide assessment of soil water content calibration and sensitivity to biomass proxies using cosmic‐ray neutron sensing in the Roaring Fork Basin, Colorado

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil water content (SWC) is a key state variable of the climate system but is often uncertain in water balance monitoring, especially in alpine environments. SWC measurements can be challenging in alpine environments due to the topography and rocky soils.

Soil health assessment on Native American agricultural land in the semiarid southwest

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil health assessment tools such as the Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) improve the interpretation of soil health status and functional capacity to guide land management decisions. While SMAF has been used in diverse global environments, it has yet to be applied to Native American lands in hot semiarid regions. This study utilizes

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 ...

Soil Carbon Sequestration Following Natural Vegetation Recovery on Abandoned European Lands: Review and Research Needs

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Environmental factors controlling soil organic carbon sequestration in abandoned European lands, and priority sites for future research across Europe. ABSTRACT Natural vegetation recovery of abandoned agricultural lands could play a significant role in combating climate change by enhancing carbon (C) sequestration over time in a passive and cost ...

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 ...

Distinguishing Soil Horizons of Alfisols Using MIR, Vis–NIR, and XRF Spectra

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT We studied horizonation of 150 Alfisols on a research farm in Wisconsin, USA. Most of these Alfisols had developed in loess covering dense glacial till; common horizons were an Ap over a glossic horizon (E/Bt or Bt/E) over a Bt covering the glacial till (2Bt). In addition to field identification, we distinguished the horizons by combining soil

Pollinators maintain biodiversity in assembling plant communities

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Most angiosperms are animal‐pollinated, and animal pollination increases fitness in many plant species. Although it is less well‐studied than other factors, plant biodiversity may be maintained by pollinators and the associated seedling recruitment that occurs after fertilization. We experimentally applied three levels of pollinator visitation

Drainage and Land Use Govern Soil Organic Carbon Stocks and Their Mid‐Infrared Spectral Expression

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Land use and soil drainage influence soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics by impacting organic matter accumulation, decomposition and redox conditions. A total of 158 A horizon samples were collected from Alfisols under forest, pasture, and crop‐pasture rotation. The soil samples were scanned using a MIR spectrometer (4000–400 cm−1).
