Soil Characterization Protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this resource is to characterize the physical and chemical properties for each horizon in a soil profile. Students identify the horizons of a soil profile at a soil characterization site, then measure and record the top and bottom depth ...

Technical note: A bootstrapped LOESS regression approach for comparing soil depth profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Understanding the consequences of different land uses for the soil system is important to make better informed decisions based on sustainability. The ability to assess change in soil properties, throughout the soil profile, is a critical step in this ...

Impact of soil tillage and land use on soil organic carbon decline under Mediterranean conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Soils under Mediterranean climate conditions frequently have low to very low levels of soil organic matter (SOM), as a result of low biomass production under the predominantly rainfed conditions and the intensive tillage operations commonly practiced. In
