Balancing Organic and Inorganic Carbon Dynamics in Enhanced Rock Weathering: Implications for Carbon Sequestration. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Enhanced rock weathering involves adding crushed silicate rock to soils, capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide by forming inorganic carbon. Despite significant inorganic carbon accumulation at the initial stage, this method can also trigger significant losses of soil organic carbon due to increased soil pH. However, with minerals weathering, they become

Tracking textural, mineralogical and geochemical signatures in soils developed from basalt-derived materials covered with loess sediments (SW Poland) [PDF]

, 2019
This study investigates the scale of inheritance of signatures typical of loess- and basalt-derived substrates in soils having both components present as parent material due to past periglacial processes.

Improvement of Charge Characteristics of Oxisols Using Basalt and Rice Husk Compost for Cocoa Growth [PDF]

, 2006
One of the major limiting factors of Oxisols for agricultural crop production is a very low negative charge, leading to deficiency of base cations imparted by leaching. This condition is exacerbated by the low pH and high Al saturation.

Molecular chemistry in humic Ferralsols from Brazilian Cerrado and forest biomes indicates a major contribution from black carbon in the subsoil

, 2015
Soil organic matter (OM) stability plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. The molecular characterisation of soil OM may contribute to an understanding of the feedback mechanisms between soil OM and climate.

Seismic Site Effects in Owhiro Bay Quarry, Wellington: Field Observations and Numerical Modelling

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Local topography and geology are well known factors affecting the intensity of seismic shaking. We have investigated the seismic site effects at a site of the Owhiro Bay Quarry in Wellington, New Zealand, using instrumental records and numerical models.

Biogeochemical asymmetry and the diversification of tropical rain forests in Borneo: The endmember hypothesis

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 4-14, January 2026.
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 ...

Pedological Characterization and Classification to Support Sustainable Agriculture in the Keremsa Subwatershed, Gurage Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil characterization and classification are vital pieces of information for soil management and precision farming. Nevertheless, poor information on soil resources and their spatial variability is one of the reasons why agricultural productivity is low in the Keremsa subwatershed of the Gurage zone.

Effect of Bamboo Plantation and Adjacent Land Uses on Soil Organic Carbon Stock in Sidama Highlands, Ethiopia

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Monitoring soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and related physicochemical properties is fundamental for informed decision‐making in sustainable land management and climate change mitigation. This study investigated the effect of bamboo (Arundinaria alpina) plantations and adjacent land uses—natural forest, enset‐based agroforestry, and wheat–barley ...

Characterization and classification of soil for sustainable land management: A case study of Arjo‐Dhidhesa Estate Sugar Factory, Western Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Soil is a fundamental resource for plant growth and ecosystem sustainability, yet limited site‐specific soil information has hindered optimal sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) production in the Arjo‐Dhidhesa Estate Sugar Factory Development Project area, Oromia, Ethiopia. This study aimed to characterize and classify the soils across 28,092
