Iron and aluminum association with microbially processed organic matter via meso-density aggregate formation across soils: organo-metallic glue hypothesis [PDF]
Global significance of iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) for the storage of organic matter (OM) in soils and surface sediments is increasingly recognized. Yet specific metal phases involved or the mechanism behind metal–OM correlations frequently shown across ...

High‐Resolution Soil Total Phosphorus Mapping for the Conterminous USA Using Machine Learning
Abstract Accurate estimates of soil total phosphorus (TP) concentrations are essential for sustainable nutrient management, food security, and water quality protection. This study predicts and maps the spatial distribution of TP in the top 5 cm and C horizon of soils across the conterminous USA (CONUS) using data from the Geochemical and Mineralogical ...

Soil Carbon in Agroforestry Systems: An Unexplored Treasure? [PDF]
Soil organic matter (SOM), which contains more reactive organic carbon (C) than any other single terrestrial pool, plays a major role in determining C storage in ecosystems and regulating atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2)^1 ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mixed dipterocarp lowland tropical rain forests on Oxisols and Ultisols and heath forests on Spodosols are considered distinct vegetation types in Borneo. Here we present the endmember hypothesis of ecosystem diversification, which describes a continuum of forest ...

Soil Diversity (Pedodiversity) and Ecosystem Services
Soil ecosystem services (ES) (e.g., provisioning, regulation/maintenance, and cultural) and ecosystem disservices (ED) are dependent on soil diversity/pedodiversity (variability of soils), which needs to be accounted for in the economic analysis and ...

The relative importance of different root traits for tree growth and survival may be contingent on the soil environment, so that species' demographic strategies cannot be confidently inferred from below‐ground traits without biotic or abiotic environmental context.

Unravelling Subsoil Acidification: Mechanisms, Consequences and Remediation
ABSTRACT Subsoil acidification is an intractable agronomic challenge worldwide, and its amelioration is costly and often practically infeasible. Because most studies are confined to the topsoil, acidity development in subsoil commonly remains undetected until it becomes severe.
