Digital Mapping of Soil Vanadium Across Australia

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
ABSTRACT Vanadium (V) is increasingly recognised as a critical mineral due to its potential for decarbonisation technologies. Australia holds an estimated quarter of global V resources, yet there is limited knowledge of how these resources are distributed across the country.

Pedogenesis of a coastal climosequence and a volcanic ash‐influenced elevational transect of western Haleakalā, Maui

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The western slope of Haleakalā, Maui, demonstrates a wide range in soil development (eight mapped soil orders), thus providing a unique opportunity to investigate how climate and volcanic ash deposition influence soil development on basalt.

Properties and Distribution of Acid Sulfate Soils in Freshwater Wetlands During Drying‐Wetting Cycles on Norfolk Island

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
ABSTRACT Freshwater inland wetland systems around the world have been significantly affected by human activities, particularly disturbances (excavation) as well as drying (drought) and wetting (flooding) scenarios. These impacts often result in lowered water table levels, which can have severe environmental impacts, particularly if acid sulfate soils ...

Using Digital Soil Mapping to Create Spatial Off‐Road Driving Guidelines and Optimal Road Networks in the Phinda Reserve

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
ABSTRACT Protected areas are often thought of as pristine natural environments. Practically however, protected areas are often degraded. In Africa, protected areas are mostly funded through game viewing tourism, where development of the road network to enable game viewing often leads to land degradation.

Natural Nanoparticles and Colloids in Forested Streams Across Europe: Seasonal Patterns and Impact of Soil Groups

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 39, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract The element loss from forested ecosystems is largely reflected by the so‐called dissolved phase (<450 nm) in stream waters. However, natural colloids (1 nm–1 μm), including natural nanoparticles (NNP, 1–100 nm), constitute a major but largely unexplored part of this dissolved phase.

The effect of olive pomace biochar on some characteristics of Vertisols

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 615-626, April 2025.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of olive pomace biochar (OB) application on the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of Vertisols. For this study, soil samples classified as Vertisol in Çanakkale, where internal drainage and surface ponding are major problems, were used.

Late Holocene Evolution of the Lagoonal Harbour of the Punic Centre of Othoca (Western Sardinia, Mediterranean Sea)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT Geophysical surveys and multiproxy analyses of sediment cores have been used to reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Santa Giusta coastal lagoon (SGL), along the western coast of Sardinia. This area served as a natural harbour mainly during the Punic and Roman Republican periods (6th–2nd century bc).

Prediction accuracy of pXRF, MIR, and Vis‐NIR spectra for soil properties—A review

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Here, we review the prediction accuracy for soil properties using portable X‐ray fluorescence (pXRF), mid‐infrared (MIR), and visible near‐infrared (Vis‐NIR) and the factors impacting predictions and its accuracy. In total, 305 published papers were reviewed, and most of them were from Australia, Brazil, China, and the United States. About 44%

Characterisation of Acid Sulfate Soils Along a Temperate Coastal Vegetation Gradient

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 2, March–April 2025.
ABSTRACT Acid sulfate soils (ASS) pose a significant environmental risk, yet their systematic characterisation is often overlooked in conservation areas, leaving an important gap in understanding their distribution and management. This study characterises ASS in three temperate coastal wetland vegetation communities—mangroves, saltmarshes and paperbark
