Mapping cacao fertiliser requirements in Côte d'Ivoire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In Côte d'Ivoire, soils in cacao plantations are depleted due to the absence or underuse of fertilisation. A digital map of 130 landunits was created from soil and climatic parameters.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Reversal Trends in Shallow‐Soil Temperature Over the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau During 1950–2014

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Soil temperature changes over the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) exert considerable influence on regional climate. Here, we identify a distinct reversal from cooling during 1950–1983 (−0.169°C decade−1) to significant warming during 1984–2014 (0.388°C decade−1), exceeding the global average by 29%–87%.

Complementary geophysical, geomorphometric and pedological approaches for characterizing shallow and deep subsurface materials in a colluvial‐alluvial plain in Atlantic rainforest

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
This study combines GPR, 2D ERT and UAV‐derived terrain models to characterize sediment variability in a colluvial‐alluvial plain. GPR identified sandy lenses and clay‐rich layers, while ERT revealed deeper conductive and resistive zones, including a gneissic basement.

Effectiveness of the GAEC cross-compliance standard Short-term measures for runoff water control on sloping land (temporary ditches and grass strips) in controlling soil erosion

open access: yesItalian Journal of Agronomy, 2011
The agronomic measures made obligatory by the cross-compliance Standard Temporary measures for runoff water control on sloping land included in the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (MiPAAF) decree on cross compliance until 2008, and ...

Desert pavements: A hidden key to Earth surface processes

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
Desert pavements are a global phenomenon in arid environments, representing one of the most extensive geomorphological and geoecological features on Earth. To a large extent, they determine the interplay of key processes governing current and past landscape dynamics.

Physics of the Soil Medium OrganizationPart 1: Thermodynamic Formulation of the Pedostructure Water Retention and Shrinkage Curves

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2014
The equations used in soil physics to characterize the hydro-physical properties of the soil medium cannot be other than empirical since they do not take into account the multi-scale functional organization of the soil medium that is described in ...

Contrasting Depth Dependencies of Plant Root Presence and Mass Across Biomes Underscore Prolific Root‐Regolith Interactions

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Root distributions are typically based on root mass per soil volume. This plant‐focused approach masks the biogeochemical influence of fine roots, which weigh little. We assert that centimeter‐scale root presence‐absence data from soil profiles provide a more soil‐focused approach for probing depth distributions of root‐regolith interfaces ...

Uniqueness of limestone soil-forming substrate in the forest ecosystem classification

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2007
The uniqueness of limestone soil-forming substrate was assessed with respect to the classification of forest ecosystems. 50 soil profiles from the Bohemian Karst were studied and the results were confronted with previously published works from other ...

Hotspots of Bacterial Pathogen Abundance and Exposure Risk in Soils of the Contiguous United States

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Soils are reservoirs of pathogenic bacteria that cause human illness, particularly after mobilizing events such as extreme rain. Land‐use patterns (e.g., proximity to agriculture) and soil properties (e.g., moisture) are associated with abundance of individual pathogenic bacteria. However, there are major uncertainties in (a) the importance of
