Abstract The soil supports many ecosystem services (ES) essential to human well‐being. Rapid developments in digital soil mapping (DSM) allow the mapping of soil types and soil properties with improved resolution and accuracy. However, the potential of DSM to improve the assessment and mapping of ES is not fully exploited.

Herbaceous plant covers can inhibit tree encroachment in many managed and semi‐natural grasslands, yet identifying the primary influence of seed mixture composition or diversity poses challenges. This study reveals that herbaceous species identity more accurately predicts seed mixture resistance to tree encroachment.

Abstract Soil corrosivity is a term used to describe the corroding susceptibility (risk) of metal infrastructure in different soil environments. Soil corrosivity mapping is a crucial step in identifying potentially problematic, high‐maintenance fence lines and can help improve fence longevity by identifying soil environments where the use of more ...

The development of pedometrics
Abstract Pedometrics, essentially the application of probability and statistics to soil, has its origins in agronomy in the early part of this century. For several decades it was a tool for designing experiments and surveys and in advisory work. It burgeoned in the 1960s for predicting soil properties at remote sites, for creating and analysing ...
