Evolution of Soil Surface Roughness and Its Influence on Flow Pathways and Sediment Connectivity
Abstract Soil surface roughness (RR) and its spatiotemporal variations are important for understanding soil erosion process, but how the erosion‐induced evolution of RR affects flow pathways and sediment connectivity patterns remains unclear. This study used high‐resolution topographic data sets from a long‐term rainfall simulation experiment in semi ...

Abstract Landslides can block rivers and create natural dams that pose significant flooding hazards to upstream and downstream. Variations in dam materials and geometries play a critical role in controlling breach initiation and failure processes, thereby complicating failure assessment.

Soil Lead Risks Associated With Urbanization Histories in Springfield MA and Hartford CT, USA
Abstract Due to legacy leaded products, soil Pb is generally higher in older urban centers triggering substantial implications for environmental equity. By integrating a gridded soil Pb analysis of about 150 samples each in two historically industrial cities (Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA) with block‐level census data, we tested the hypotheses that (

Abstract Drained and cultivated grasslands on peat soils behave as a significant source of greenhouse gasses by oxidation. However, the lack of empirical estimates of carbon losses from peatlands with adequate spatial and temporal resolution has forced researchers to rely on process‐based model approximations to make quantitative, regional‐ or national‐

Soil Crack Width Controls Preferential Flow Velocity Through Drag Partitioning
Abstract Preferential flow within soil cracks influences land surface hydrological processes, yet direct quantifying preferential flow velocity (PFV) remains challenging. Here, we develop a method for high‐resolution monitoring and quantifying PFV in soil cracks using optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR).

Game Changer in Soil Science. The Anthropocene in soil science and pedology.
© 2019 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim The venerable science of pedology, initiated in the 19th century as the study of the natural factors of soil formation, is adapting to the demands of the Anthropocene, the geologic time during which ...

Abstract The fate of a species is a function of interacting environmental and biological processes. Disentangling the roles and interactions of such processes can elucidate the breadth of possible responses to global change, for instance, the potential for phenotypic plasticity or trait evolution to rescue populations from climate change.
