Selecting Promising Soil Quality Indicators for Monitoring Soil Management Effects Based on 10 European Long‐Term Field Experiments

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 499-517, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background: Soil quality can be measured through soil quality indicators that reflect soil processes. Aim: The aim of this study was to (1) identify a limited set of soil quality indicators that are most sensitive to agricultural soil management and that are widely applicable regardless of pedo‐climatic conditions, and (2) link common ...

Soil Carbon–Nitrogen Pools and Soil Health Across Contrasting Land Uses and a No‐Till Conservation Chronosequence in a Tropical Guinea Savanna Agroecosystem

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon–nitrogen pools are central to soil health, yet their responses to conservation‐oriented management remain insufficiently quantified in tropical agroecosystems. This study evaluated soil carbon–nitrogen pools, stocks and soil health indicators across conventionally managed arable land (CMA), no‐till‐based conservation systems with 2,

Increasing Urban Tree Canopy Associated With Reduced Mortality: A Longitudinal Analysis of Chicago Neighborhoods

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Urban tree canopy is known to mitigate ambient heat and improve physical and mental health but the longitudinal interactions and impacts of tree canopy, temperature, and mortality are not well understood. Using high resolution tree canopy estimates, temperature, mortality, and demographic data from 2011 to 2021, we implemented negative ...

Deep Soil Drying Increases Dryland Apple Tree's Eco‐Physiological Sensitivity to Atmospheric Drought

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Dryland tree survival critically depends on deep soil water (DSW), particularly during dry spells. However, DSW is often limited and can be exhausted during periods of active tree growth, as recharge from precipitation is minimal. The eco‐physiological responses of trees to compound droughts (i.e., combined deep soil and atmospheric droughts ...

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2628-2641, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.
