Diagnostic criteria for lessivage of profile-differentiated soils of the Precarpathian region (Ukraine)

open access: yesDie Bodenkultur, 2020
Profile-differentiated soils of the Precarpathian region were formed due to the combined effect of such processes as podzolization, lessivage, gley-eluvium. For the diagnosis of these soils, researchers have used different diagnostic features.

Abiotic retention of nitrogen and dissolved organic matter by forest mineral soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The effect of NO3- deposition on NH4 +, DON, and DOC retention as well as abiotic NO3 - retention via the hypothesized ferrous wheel mechanism was examined in oxic and anoxic tropical and oxic temperate soils using sorption isotherm experiments ...

Wildfire, salvage logging and warming: Their interactive effects on boreal conifer reforestation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2657-2675, October 2025.
This study demonstrates that artificial regeneration through planting can support forest recovery following wildfire, especially under high fire severity in sites where natural regeneration is poor. Salvage logging can enhance the growth of P. sylvestris seedlings and indirectly benefit P.

Behavior and Impact of Zirconium in the Soil–Plant System: Plant Uptake and Phytotoxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Because of the large number of sites they pollute, toxic metals that contaminate terrestrial ecosystems are increasingly of environmental and sanitary concern (Uzu et al. 2010, 2011; Shahid et al. 2011a, b, 2012a).

The humus profile of an alpine ericaceous heath (Savoie, France): A high‐resolution micromorphological analysis

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The characteristics used to distinguish between Mor and Moder differ among the various classifications of humus forms. Mor is often associated with ericaceous heathland that develops at high altitude or latitude, or in lowlands when soils are nutrient‐poor, sandy, and acidic.

Early departures and delayed arrivals: Holocene dynamics of temperate tree species in the boreal‐temperate ecotone

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2460-2475, September 2025.
As temperate tree species require warmer temperatures than boreal species, some thermophilous species, such as white pine, increased in abundance at their northern edge during historically warmer periods. Our data reveal that not all temperate species behaved accordingly: maples were scarce during the warm mid‐Holocene, while their abundance increased ...

Theory of elementary soil-forming processes of I.P. Gerasimov and its manifestations in diverse natural zones

open access: yesБюллетень Почвенного института им. В.В. Докучаева, 2015
The theory of elementary soil-forming processes (ESP) proposed by Academician I.P. Gerasimov is discussed both in its initial version, and in its advanced perception in the beginning of XXI century. The progress and success of this theory is highlighted.

Agropastoral possibilism and the trajectorial affordances of Danish inland heaths: a study of deep‐time entrapment Possibilisme agropastoral et affordances des trajectoires dans les landes de l'arrière‐pays danois : une étude des entraves dans le passé lointain

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 850-873, September 2025.
History does not unfold along a single trajectory, and yet the socioecological configuration of landscapes may narrow the directions history can take. This article develops a framework for assessing the directionality of history in a (pre)historic heath landscape in Denmark.

Podzolization as studied from terraces of various ages in two river valleys, Northern Finland.

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 1988
The study was made in the Ivalojoki and Oulankajoki valleys, consisting of terraces of well sorted sandy material aged 9500–300 B.P. The vegetation is characterized by dry and moderately dry forest types with Scots pine ( L.) as the dominant tree ...

Tree monoculture plantations decrease plant diversity in the Italian Prealps

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
Tree monoculture plantations significantly alter plant community diversity and composition, reducing biodiversity through species turnover rather than simple gradual filtering. Our study reveals that plantations support distinct species assemblages, restructuring functional diversity and ecosystems compared with mixed forests and grasslands.
