Phosphorus limits the growth of bacterial and eukaryotic primary producers in recently deglaciated High Arctic soils

Oikos, EarlyView.
Glaciers are receding at unprecedented rates worldwide, exposing large areas of barren sediment that are quickly colonized by microbes. Nutrient availability is a critical driver of early ecosystem succession, but in the High Arctic its role has remained uncertain.

Soilscape of west-central Taiwan: Its pedogenesis and geomorphic implications

, 2016
Five different soil types, including Entisol, Inceptisol, Alfisol, Ultisol and Oxisol, are distributed across west-central Taiwan. These soils cover the surfaces of three geological terrains, namely, the Pleistocene anticline, the Holocene coastal plain,

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant performance in trace element‐contaminated soils with element‐specific accumulation patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil contamination by toxic trace elements is a growing global challenge that threatens food safety, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem health. We combined results from many experiments worldwide to assess whether beneficial soil fungi can help plants cope with contaminated soils.

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Rapid loss of phosphorus during early pedogenesis along a glacier retreat choronosequence, Gongga Mountain (SW China) [PDF]

, 2015
The loss of phosphorus (P) during the early pedogenesis stage is important at the ecosystem level, and it also plays an important role in the global P cycle.

Single‐grain K‐feldspar luminescence dating on primary and re‐deposited aeolian sediments in Mongolia

Boreas, EarlyView.
Owing to its location in the semi‐arid region of northern Central Asia, Mongolia is highly sensitive to climate change and therefore provides an excellent setting for palaeoenvironmental research. Proxy data from different sediment types are crucial for interpreting past climate changes and landscape evolution, while burial ages provide chronological ...

Genesis of Soils from Bauxite in Southeastern Brazil: Resilication as a Soil-Forming Process

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2017
Pedological studies using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) showed a Xanthic Ferralsol formed from the degradation of bauxite on a slope in the Caparaó region, in ...
