A novel heat-pulse probe for measuring soil thermal conductivity: Field test under different tillage practices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Accurate soil thermal conductivity (λ) measurements are needed in experimental agri-environmental research. This study design and build of new heat-pulse probe (HPP) based on transient state technology to measure λ.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Pedotransfer function for calculating the potential of volume changes in soils

open access: yes, 2017
The volume changes in the soils are manifested both by the formation of cracks and by the vertical movement of the soil surface. Both of these could be generally negative for engineering constructions.

Stratified Data Reconstruction and Spatial Pattern Analyses of Soil Bulk Density in the Northern Grasslands of China

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020
The spatial pattern of soil bulk density in the grasslands of northern China largely remains undefined, which raised uncertainty in understanding and modeling various soil processes in large spatial scale.

Subsoil Carbon and δ13C Spatial Patterns Reveal Land Use Legacy in a Sandy Subtropical Ecotone in Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage represents one of the most critical ecosystem services provided by soils, yet scientific assessments frequently focus on surface layers, overlooking deeper horizons. In this study, we investigated SOC stocks and spatial patterns of soil δ13C across three contrasting land use and land cover (LULC) types in ...

Jensen's Inequality Quantifies How Temporal Averaging of Moisture Inputs Affects Modeled Soil Respiration Across Continental Scales

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding how temporal patterns of moisture and temperature variability influence biogeochemical responses remains a central challenge in modeling the Earth system. Jensen's inequality provides a mathematical framework for quantifying when nonlinear processes cause the response to average conditions to differ systematically from the ...

EXTRAPOLATING THE SUITABILITY OF SOILS AS NATURAL REACTORS USING AN EXISTING SOIL MAP: APPLICATION OF PEDOTRANSFER FUNCTIONS, SPATIAL INTEGRATION AND VALIDATION PROCEDURES

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2011
The aim of this study was the spatial identification of the suitability of soils as reactors in the treatment of swine wastewater in the Mexican state of Yucatan, as well as the development of a map with validation procedures. Pedotransfer functions were
