Soil Texture’s Hidden Influence: Decoding Plant Diversity Patterns in Arid Ecosystems

Soil Systems
Desert plant communities play a vital role in sustaining the stability of arid ecosystems; however, they demonstrate limited resilience to environmental changes. A critical aspect of understanding community assembly mechanisms is determining whether soil

Physiological dominance of the scion in shaping root architecture under suboptimal temperature

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Non‐optimal temperatures have become a major constraint on plant development under rapidly changing climatic conditions. Both suboptimal and supra‐optimal temperatures reduce physiological activity, alter plant morphology, lead to plant mortality, and ultimately decrease crop productivity.

Experimental study on critical state of unsaturated silty sand

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The critical state of soil shows the end of its deformation process, which is very important for analysis and establishment of constitutive model for soil. The unsaturated silty sand is used in this study.

Application of Principal Component Analysis and Probabilistic Neural Networks in Ferralsols Recovery Evaluation Through Planting of Mabea Fistulifera and Eucalyptus Urograndis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an innovative assessment model for analyzing the evolution of degraded soils subjected to different reclamation strategies. The proposal combines statistical and artificial intelligence tools to jointly integrate multiple physical and chemical soil properties, allowing for a more synthetic view of the processes.

Assessment of Soil Erosion Over Six Decades in a Long‐Term Experiment Using Fallout 137Cs and RUSLE: A South American Case Study

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion remains a major global concern affecting agricultural productivity and land sustainability. This study investigates the magnitude and variability of soil erosion in a long‐term experiment (LTE) established in 1963 in Colonia, Uruguay, aiming to compare the performance of the 137Cs tracer technique and the RUSLE model across ...

Impact of Sugarcane Management Practices and Time Periods on Soil Organic Carbon and δ13C Signature After Paddy Rice Conversion

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land use change (LUC) from paddy rice to sugarcane cultivation strongly influences soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, with the extent and direction of change depending on residue management and time since conversion. This study aimed to (i) evaluate SOC stock changes under different residue management practices and conversion periods following ...

Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is,
