Monitoring Soil Sealing in Guadarrama River Basin, Spain, and Its Potential Impact in Agricultural Areas

open access: yesAgriculture, 2016
This study analyzes soil sealing and its repercussions in the loss of fertile soils, which are more appropriate for agriculture use. Also, soil sealing increases flood risk.

Pedogeomorphology of semiarid soils of Ulu Peninsula, James Ross Island, Antarctica

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Located in a transitional climatic zone of the Antarctic continent, James Ross Island (JRI) presents soils that reflect complex interactions between lithology, topography, and pedogenesis. This study characterizes soils along a toposequence to evaluate how slope position and parent material control soil properties and weathering patterns in a ...

Rapid Soil Fertility Improvement Enhances Maize Productivity and Resilience in Eutric Regosols: Evidence from a Four-Year Field Experiment

open access: yesAgronomy
Eutric Regosols are globally important but low-fertility soils with poor nutrient retention, limiting crop productivity and increasing environmental risks.

Assessment of physicochemical properties of soil under different flood patterns in recession farming in the Okavango Delta, Botswana

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract This study examined the physical and nutritional properties of soils in the Okavango Delta flood plains recession farming systems to understand how flood patterns affect soil qualities and agricultural productivity. A soil auger was utilized to sample soil at 30‐cm depth for physicochemical parameters.

Partitioning tree growth into light interception and use efficiencies clarifies the role of light competition in secondary forest succession

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
By decomposing tree growth into light interception and use efficiencies, this study reveals how light competition drives secondary forest succession. In young stands, the superior light capture of taller trees dominates, forcing rapid height stratification.

Using a Portuguese regosol to derive soil reference values for arsenic

open access: yes, 2022
Soil reference values (SRV) are preliminary screening benchmark values used to evaluate the potential toxicity of specific contaminants in soils. The Portuguese Environmental Agency has proposed SRV for metals and metalloids based on soil uses but without consideration for the soil type.

Mineralogical changes caused by grape production in a regosol from subtropical Brazilian climate [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Soils and Sediments, 2012
Inadequate soil use and management practices promote commonly negative impacts on the soil constituents and their properties, with consequences to ecosystems. As the soil mineralogy can be permanently altered due to soil use, this approach can be used as a tool to monitor the anthropogenic pressure.

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

open access: yesEuropean 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 ...

Flood Modelling Evaluation in a Semiarid Catchment: The Role of a Soil Mineralogical Index From Satellite Imagery

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean region is characterized by the occasional occurrence of intense rainfall events. Along with lithological, geomorphological, and land use factors, these events influence the hydrosedimentary dynamics of drainage basins, potentially causing torrential floods.
