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

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
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.

A novel method based on high‐resolution imaging spectroscopy to predict fine‐root traits and the economics space of fresh tree roots

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Maps of the estimated root nitrogen concentration in the < 0.5‐mm‐diameter classes of 20 woody species based on the imaging spectroscopy using the shortwave infrared spectral region. Summary Tree fine‐root morphological, anatomical, and chemical traits are important to reflect belowground resource acquisition strategies to support tree growth, but ...

Modeling Land Management Impacts: Asymmetric Reductions of Sediment and Phosphorus Versus Legacy Nitrogen in the Enkare Narok Catchment in Kenya

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Conservation practices in an East African catchment dramatically cut sediment (80%) and phosphorus (76%) loads but are markedly less effective on nitrogen (8% reduction) due to legacy groundwater nitrate, revealing a critical trade‐off between water quality and quantity.

Influence of the Type and Use of Soil on the Distribution of Organic Carbon and Other Soil Properties in a Sustainable and Resilient Agropolitan System

open access: yes, 2023
Urban and peri-urban agriculture is one of the strategies that emerged on the path towards agri-food sustainability in cities. This paper aims at improving the knowledge of the soil properties in a peri-urban area and their agricultural potential to ...

Contrasting Hydrosedimentary Dynamics in Two Mediterranean Watersheds: Insights From Flood Hydrograph Decompositions

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
This paper highlights the role of groundwater inputs to the river system during flood events in diluting suspended sediment concentration, in two small badland catchments with contrasting vegetation cover. The findings underline the importance of isolating the surface runoff component to better understand and prioritise hydrosedimentary processes ...

Changes in soil organic carbon and soil aggregation due to deforestation for smallholder management in the Brazilian semi-arid region. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The Brazilian semi-arid region has currently approximately 33.3 million hectares occupied by agriculture, and the inadequate land use and management practices are still predominant, which have been associated with the soil degradation process. Therefore,

Tree species diversity drives above‐ground carbon sequestration through light‐related trait shifts

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1656-1675, June 2026.
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.

Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and
