Modelling Pedogenesis in the Anthropocene

open access: yes, 2014
The objective of this paper is to develop a framework for pedogenetic modelling in the Anthropocene, i.e., the present geological epoch during which humanity has become the main factor impacting the environment.

Organic carbon and microbiome in tundra and forest–tundra permafrost soils, southern Yamal, Russia

open access: yesPolar Research, 2021
Permafrost soils differ significantly from other soils because they serve as a huge reservoir for organic carbon accumulated during the Quaternary Period, which is at risk of being released as the Arctic warms.

Termite Ecology in the First Two Decades of the 21st Century: A Review of Reviews

open access: yesInsects, 2019
Termite ecology came of age in 1978 with the seminal review of Wood and Sands which by considering the quantitative contributions made by termites to the carbon cycle at the landscape level concluded that they were major players in tropical ecosystems ...

Looking at Soil as It Is: Evolution of Microscopic Soil Characterization From Kubiëna to Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

Unravelling upbuilding pedogenesis in tephra and loess sequences in New Zealand using tephrochronology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The genesis of soils developed in either tephra or loess on stable sites differs markedly from that of soils developed on rock because classical topdown processes operate in conjuction with geological processes whereby material is added to the land ...

Soil-Landforms Interdependencies and Weathering at Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Maritime Antarctica

open access: yesQuaestiones Geographicae
Soil formation in polar regions is relatively weakly recognised due to their rarity and spatial dispersion. The main pedological, sedimentological and cryogenic features of the ice-free coasts of Admiralty Bay were described and quantified with an ...
