Particle Size Distribution and Depth to Bedrock of Chinese Cultivated Soils: Implications for Soil Classification and Management

Agronomy, 2023
Although a number of studies have provided information on soil texture, soil classification, and depth to bedrock throughout China, few studies have combined this information, which is the basis for agricultural field management.

Winegrowers' Perceptions and Adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices and Technologies: A Case Study in Piedmont, Italy

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9236-9253, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

Biomass Carbon in Harvest Residues of Winter Oilseed Rape Across Fertilizer N Rates: Implications for Carbon Input Estimations in Soil Carbon Models

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 558-570, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background: Reliable estimation of carbon (C) inputs from above‐ and belowground residues at different yield levels is crucial, as these inputs drive soil organic carbon (SOC) models for C accounting. Aims: This study quantifies C inputs from different components of winter oilseed rape (WOSR) and compares them with estimates from various ...

Understanding cation exchange capacity through the landscape lens of the Busoga Catena, Uganda

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract This study identifies the parent material (PM) and examines cation exchange capacity (CEC) across the Busoga catena. In 2022 and 2023, we described 32 pedons and collected 147 samples. Laboratory analyses were particle size analysis, organic carbon (OC) content, pH, and CEC.

Soil Diversity and Climate: An Overview of Profile Data and Acquisition With the WoSIS Global Legacy Dataset

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil profiles are the primary field evidence from which pedogenesis, soil classification and land‐use effects are interpreted, yet their availability remains uneven across climates and land‐cover contexts. Here, we analyse the World Soil Information Service (WoSIS) 2023 snapshot together with Copernicus Global Land Cover 2015 and the global ...

Assessing Soil Resources in the Western Balkans: Insights From the LUCAS Soil Survey

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Western Balkans region is undergoing significant socio‐economic and environmental transformations as it aligns its policies with the European Union (EU). A key aspect of this alignment is the implementation of EU soil‐related policies, which requires a comprehensive understanding of regional soil properties.

A Soil Profile Dataset From Central Ethiopia: Morphological, Physical and Chemical Properties, WRB Classification, and Root Count

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Comprehensive soil profile datasets are essential for understanding and modelling soil and soil processes, yet remain scarce in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This is particularly true for full soil profiles combining root observations with soil water retention characteristics.

Composition and dynamics of the fungal population in a typical Phaeozem luvico in Argentina

Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2016
The decomposer soil community maintains the arable soil ecosystem for the nutrient turnover. Here, we studied the dynamics of the soil fungal populations in a typical Phaeozem luvico in Argentina and related it to the management practices. Soil samples (at 0–10 cm depth) were collected from a field cultivated with wheat, at different sampling times: at

Comparison of the physical properties of soils belonging to different reference soil groups

Soil and Water Research, 2021
Soil properties can be influenced by long-term agricultural management practices as described in pedological literature. In this study, selected physical properties (particle density and bulk density, total porosity, maximum capillary water capacity ...
