Water reuse for irrigated agriculture in Jordan: challenges of soil sustainability and the role of management strategies [PDF]

, 2010
Reclaimed water provides an important contribution to the water balance in water-scarce Jordan, but the quality of this water presents both benefits and challenges. Careful management of reclaimed water is required to maximize the nutrient benefits while

Rational descriptive classification of duricrusts [PDF]

, 1969
The term duricrust appears to be extending itself to include calcareous, gypseous, and saline crusts, in addition to crusts composed dominantly of silica and/or of sesquioxides of iron and aluminium, with or without significant contents of dioxides of ...

Hydrological Conditions Outweigh Soil Texture, Temperature, and Terrain in German Agricultural Land Use

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 2, Page 243-254, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self‐sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increasing ambitions for nature restoration and green energy. Meanwhile, the overall agricultural area shrinks due to land sealing.

A Framework Based on Isoparameters for Clustering and Mapping Geophysical Data in Pedogeomorphological Studies

Soil Systems
Understanding soil variability supports improved land use and soil security. This study aimed to generate uniform geophysical classes by integrating data from three proximal geophysical sensors with synthetic soil and satellite images using machine ...

A Quali-quantitative evaluation approach to pedodiversity by multivariate analysis: introduction to the concept of "pedocharacter" [PDF]

, 2012
A model has been developed for the interpretation of the complexity of pedological systems; this is referred to as “pedocharacter”. The main aim of the model was to reduce the variables able to define soils and their relationships with the environment ...

Impact of land use on the hydraulic properties of the topsoil in a small French catchment [PDF]

, 2010
The hydraulic properties of the topsoil control the partition of rainfall into infiltration and runoff at the soil surface. They must be characterized for distributed hydrological modelling. This study presents the results of a field campaign documenting

A Preliminary Comparison of SOC Storage Between the Traditional Farmland and Well‐Facilitated Farmland Management

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) is central to the global carbon cycle, yet unsustainable cultivation has resulted in a continuing SOC loss and has made it highly vulnerable to future climate change. In China, the Well‐Facilitated Farmland Construction (WFC) initiative has sought to enhance soil conditions by integrating farmland management units ...

Carbon storage and DNA absorption in allophanic soils and paleosols [PDF]

, 2014
Andisols and andic paleosols dominated by the nanocrystalline mineral allophane sequester large amounts of carbon (C), attributable mainly to its chemical bonding with charged hydroxyl groups on the surface of allophane together with its physical ...

Signatures of Wild Animal Life in Earth's Landscapes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Animals shape Earth surface processes and landforms by displacing Earth surface materials and by making them more or less susceptible to geophysical processes. Despite increased recognition of the global significance of animal landscape “signatures”, analysis of their magnitude and generality has not been possible until now.
