Low vertical transfer rates of carbon inferred from radiocarbon analysis in an Amazon Podzol [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Hydromorphic Podzol soils in the Amazon Basin generally support low-stature forests with some of the lowest amounts of aboveground net primary production (NPP) in the region.

Tree species diversity drives above‐ground carbon sequestration through light‐related trait shifts
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits can vary in response to tree species mixing, which in turn might influence biomass production and, consequently, carbon (C) sequestration in diverse forests.

Analysis of prehistoric brown earth paleosols under the podzol soils of Exmoor, UK [PDF]
, 2020 The deforestation of the upland landscapes in southwest Britain during prehistory is an established archaeological narrative, documenting human impacts on the environment and questioning the relationship of prehistoric societies to the upland landscapes ...

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.

Characterisation of a soil catena on the Western slope of the Piton des Neiges volcano (La Réunion) [PDF]
, 2006 In La Réunion island, where only 17% (43 692 ha) of the total area is cultivated, a huge irrigation project aims at increasing the agricultural production on the western slope of the Piton des Neiges volcano.

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Net mineralizable soil phosphorus cannot be measured by non‐isotopic approaches
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract While radioisotopic pool dilution is widely regarded as the most reliable method for estimating soil phosphorus mineralization (Pmin), high costs, low throughput, and safety requirements limit its use. We evaluated the potential of non‐radioisotopic approaches to estimating net Pmin by difference before and after aerobic incubation, analogous ...

The Holocene evolution of Rheban Spit, Tasmania. 2. Soil development trends [PDF]
, 1987 Calcareous sands and podzols of four different ages (0, 3 100, 4200 and 5500 calendar years) form a soil chronosequence at Rheban Spit, a prograded sand barrier, near Orford on the east coast of Tasmania.

Rendzinas of the Russian Northwest: Diversity, Genesis, and Ecosystem Functions: A Review
Geosciences, 2023 Rendzinas in the taiga zone are intrazonal soils; moreover, all of their processes occur in ways that are different from podzolic soil formation, which is typical for the zonal taiga boreal ecosystem. At the same time, the habitats of carbonate soils are
