Five decades of hand‐feel soil texture estimation: Accuracy, challenges, and improvements

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil texture refers to the proportion of fine soil particles with diameters less than 2 mm, classified into particle size categories that define the soil texture class. Hand‐feel estimation in the field is widely used by soil scientists and technicians during pedological surveys to characterize soil horizons.

Pedology and its relationship to cropping decisions in Kamuli District, Uganda

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Kamuli District offers an opportunity to understand pedology and cropping decisions in an area that has been underdocumented. Broad, flat summits and narrow convex shoulders are composed of residuum formed from Precambrian granite. Valleys mirror the summits, that is, broad flats composed of alluvium that are rimmed by narrow concave toeslopes.

Soil Profiles: A Window Into Soil Genesis and Degradation

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this commentary, we argue that the soil profile represents an indispensable window into the soil system. The soil profile is a vertical section of the soil body that represents a pattern in the landscape. The description and interpretation of the layers and horizons from the surface to the parent material or bedrock is the language of soil ...
