Soil Carbon Sequestration Following Natural Vegetation Recovery on Abandoned European Lands: Review and Research Needs

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Environmental factors controlling soil organic carbon sequestration in abandoned European lands, and priority sites for future research across Europe. ABSTRACT Natural vegetation recovery of abandoned agricultural lands could play a significant role in combating climate change by enhancing carbon (C) sequestration over time in a passive and cost ...

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

Agriculture, 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.

A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Soil Structural Attributes Across Contrasting Land‐Use Types

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil structure governs ecosystem functioning across scales, but its complexity requires integrative approaches that capture geometric and functional properties. This study proposes a methodological framework that integrates field‐based visual evaluation of soil structure (VESS), X‐ray computed tomography (CT) and soil hydraulic property (SHP ...

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

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

“Hidden” Landscape of Prehistoric Burial Monuments: The Use of Remote Sensing in the Detection of Neolithic Long Barrows in Bohemia (Czech Republic)

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 475-497, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Neolithic long barrows are among the earliest monumental structures in Europe, yet in many parts of Central Europe their surface expression has been largely erased by long‐term agricultural activity. This study evaluates the potential of integrated remote sensing approaches for identifying and contextualizing long barrows and associated ...

The effect of slope steepness and antecedent moisture content on interrill erosion, runoff and sediment size distribution in the highlands of Ethiopia [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011
Soil erosion is a two-phase process consisting of the detachment of individual particles and their transport by the flowing water. This study discusses the results of laboratory experiments in which for three soils, the runoff depth, sediment yield ...

Continuous Stem Water Potential Measurements With Microtensiometry Reveal Species Identity and Soil Matric Potential Control of Stem Water Potential in Temperate Forests

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Water potential gradients govern water fluxes, and plants respond with species‐specific hydraulic traits that influence ecosystem function. While understanding these traits is key to predicting vegetation responses to climate change, traditional methods like the pressure chamber limit temporal resolution and continuity.
