Connecting forest soil properties with ecosystem services: Toward a better use of digital soil maps—A review

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 88, Issue 4, Page 981-999, July/August 2024.
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.

Resistance against tree encroachment is driven by richness and identity of herbaceous resident species

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 27, Issue 2, April/June 2024.
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.

Soil analysis using visible and near infrared spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Visible-near infrared diffuse reflectance (vis-NIR) spectroscopy is a fast, non-destructive technique well suited for analyses of some of the essential constituents of the soil.

Mapping soil corrosivity potential to exclusion fencing using pedotransfer functions and open‐source soil data

open access: yesSoil Use and Management, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2024.
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 ...

History of Soil Geography in the Context of Scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We review historical soil maps from a geographical perspective, in contrast to the more traditional temporal–historical perspective. Our geographical approach examines and compares soil maps based on their scale and classification system.

Prediction of soil fertility properties in Southern Brazil via proximal sensing

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Although proximal sensing coupled with machine learning (ML) algorithms have been successful for characterizing soils, questions remain regarding their effectiveness under varied soil conditions.

Regionalization of soil physical input variables for soil hydraulic pedotransfer functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Many studies in soil science provide qualitative or (semi-) quantitative assessments of soil physical properties such as soil texture or percentage of soil skeleton (the >2 mm fraction).
