The southwest Kalahari dune field does not emit dust post‐fire despite a lack of vegetation and above‐threshold winds

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
The southwest Kalahari dune field has resident fine grains which may be emitted as mineral dust after protective vegetation is removed by fire. However, low wind speeds, high initial surface cover, and the protective effect of biocrusts result in the low possibility of the southwest Kalahari emitting dust post‐fire.

Interdisciplinary on-site evaluation of stone bunds to control soil erosion on cropland in Northern Ethiopia [PDF]

, 2007
Since two decades, stone bunds have been installed in large areas of the Tigray Highlands, Northern Ethiopia, to control soil erosion by water. Field studies were conducted to quantify the effectiveness, efficiency, side effects and acceptance of stone ...

Genesis of Soils Formed from Mafic Igneous Rock in the Atlantic Forest Environment

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2016
Different parent materials participate in the formation of soils in the hilly landscape of “Mar de Morros” in the Atlantic Forest environment. Those derived from mafic igneous rock (gabbro) frequently show erosion problems because of land use, which is ...

A First Quantitative Assessment of Soil Health at European Scale Considering Soil Genesis

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 1, Page 6-16, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Soil health degradation is a major threat to European food security, biodiversity, and climate stability. While scientists have debated how to define soil health during recent decades, a quantifiable framework for monitoring, management, and policy remains lacking.

Floodplain environmental change during the younger dryas and holocene: Evidence from the lower kennet valley, south central England [PDF]

, 2006
Many lowland rivers across northwest Europe exhibit broadly similar behavioural responses to glacial-interglacial transitions and landscape development. Difficulties exist in assessing these, largely because the evidence from many rivers remains limited

Lignin biomarkers as tracers of mercury sources in lakes water column [PDF]

, 2009
This study presents the role of specific terrigenous organic compounds as important vectors of mercury (Hg) transported from watersheds to lakes of the Canadian boreal forest.

Assessing the intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in the Nefud Desert, northern Arabia

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 207-218, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The climate history of the major dryland zones of the world, such as the Saharo–Arabian Desert belt, plays a key role in the dispersal of early humans through these intermittently inhospitable regions. Here, we assess the relative intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in northern Arabia through lithological, geochemical, palaeoecological ...

Shape Matters: Unlocking Transport Histories in Fine‐Grained Aeolian Sediments With Endmember Modeling of Size–Shape Distributions

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The transport medium, mode, energy, and distance are recorded in the grain‐size and grain‐shape distributions in a sedimentary deposit. While grain‐size analysis has long been used in sedimentology, grain‐shape analysis is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for reconstructing sedimentary processes and palaeoenvironments.

Evaluation of geochemical peculiarities of mining rocks for ecological restoration of the post-mining landscape [PDF]

, 2018
In regions with complex geological history, diversity of climate, soils and parent rocks, it is possible to predict a large number of paths for soils recovery in the areas that have been disturbed by human ...
