Carbon Input and Tillage Intensity Modulate Pedo‐Climatic Controls of Topsoil but Not Subsoil Physical Properties

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil functions such as water regulation, resistance to degradation (i.e., erosion) and habitat provision for soil biota are essential for climate‐resilient cropping systems. While soil functions are largely governed by pedo‐climatic conditions, the relative importance of agricultural management remains unclear.

TESTING SOME PEDO-TRANSFER FUNCTIONS (PTFS) IN APULIA REGION

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2009
The knowledge of soil water retention vs. soil water matric potential is used to study irrigation and drainage schedules, soil water storage capacity (plant available water), solute movement, plant growth and water stress.

Soil health as nonequilibrium flow: Bridging a persistent conceptual‐to‐computational inconsistency

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Soil health concepts emphasize soil aggregation and structure as central indicators of healthy, functioning soils, yet this emphasis carries an implicit acknowledgment rarely made explicit in models: aggregated soils exhibit nonequilibrium water flow behaviors through preferential pathways.

Influence of Soil and Land‐Use/Land‐Cover Data Quality on SWAT Parameter Transferability in Small Subtropical Agricultural Watersheds

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Does input soil and land‐use quality affect SWAT parameter transfer in neighbouring watersheds? Our proxy‐basin experiment in two small agricultural watersheds under crop–livestock rotations showed that capturing LULC dynamics and refining soil characterization can substantially enhance parameter transferability to ungauged neighbouring watersheds ...

Building pedotransfer functions for estimating soil erodibility in southeastern China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Soil erodibility (K) reflects the sensitivity of soil to detachment and transport and is a key factor for estimating the loss of soil. Most of the models for estimating K are complex and experiential, simple and local estimation model in the hilly and ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New 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.

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

Journal 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 ...
