Soil structure is an important omission in Earth System Models. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 Most soil hydraulic information used in Earth System Models (ESMs) is derived from pedo-transfer functions that use easy-to-measure soil attributes to estimate hydraulic parameters.

A framework for modelling soil structure dynamics induced by biological activity. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2020 Soil degradation is a worsening global phenomenon driven by socio‐economic pressures, poor land management practices and climate change. A deterioration of soil structure at timescales ranging from seconds to centuries is implicated in most forms of soil

Brachiaria species influence nitrate transport in soil by modifying soil structure with their root system. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Leaching of nitrate from fertilisers diminishes nitrogen use efficiency (the portion of nitrogen used by a plant) and is a major source of agricultural pollution.

Soil use and management, 2023 Soil organic carbon (SOC) fashions soil structure, which is a key factor of soil fertility. Existing SOC content recommendations are based on SOC:clay ratio thresholds of >1:10.

The impact of freeze-thaw-cycles on soil structure and soil hydraulic properties
The Soil, 2021 The ploughing of soils drastically alters soil structure and at the same time reduces its stability against external stresses. A fragmentation of these artificially produced soil clods during winter time is often observed in areas with air temperatures ...

A framework for quantifying hydrologic effects of soil structure across scales
Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 Earth system models use soil information to parameterize hard-to-measure soil hydraulic properties based on pedotransfer functions. However, current parameterizations rely on sample-scale information which often does not account for biologically-promoted

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2021 Soil compaction by farm machinery may persist for decades, hampering soil productivity and functioning. Assessing compaction costs and guiding recovery strategies are hindered by paucity of data on soil structure recovery rates.

A Review of Sand–Clay Mixture and Soil–Structure Interface Direct Shear Test
Geotechnics, 2021 Natural soils are usually heterogeneous and characterized with complex microstructures. Sand–clay mixtures are often used as simplified soils to investigate the mechanical properties of soils with various compositions (from clayey to sandy soils) in the ...

An Open Soil Structure Library based on X-ray CT data
The Soil, 2021 . Soil structure in terms of the spatial arrangement of pores and solid is highly relevant for most physical, biochemical processes in soil. While this is known for long a scientific approach to quantify soil structural characteristics was also missing ...
