Updating carbon pool initialization within DSSAT‐CENTURY

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Allocation of C to conceptual C pools in the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT)‐CENTURY model determines the proportion of organic matter available for nutrient cycling. DSSAT‐CENTURY defaults to a pedotransfer function if relevant field history is unknown or a stable C value has not been provided.

Linking two wood biochars physicochemical properties with soil water evaporation dynamics from amended sandy soil

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Conflicting reports on biochar's effect on soil evaporation (E) highlight a poor understanding of how its physicochemical properties govern E dynamics in sandy soils. Thus, the aim of this study was to provide mechanistic insights by correlating biochar physicochemical properties with the distinct stages of evaporation.

Five decades of hand‐feel soil texture estimation: Accuracy, challenges, and improvements

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil texture refers to the proportion of fine soil particles with diameters less than 2 mm, classified into particle size categories that define the soil texture class. Hand‐feel estimation in the field is widely used by soil scientists and technicians during pedological surveys to characterize soil horizons.

Four years after whole orchard recycling: Effects on soil ecosystem services in a young almond orchard

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract In California, assessing the potential ecosystem services provided by soil amended with large quantities of recycled woodchips is essential information for farm biomass management. In this study, we evaluated the impacts of whole orchard recycling (WOR) on soil ecosystem services in a 4‐year‐old replanted almond orchard during the 2023 and ...

Tracking Water Dynamics of a Temperate Forest Under Drought and Non‐Drought Conditions Using Active and Passive Microwave and Optical Remote Sensing

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Water status, water dynamics, and ecohydrological resilience of a protected German beech forest during the 2018–2020 multi‐year drought are assessed using over six years of multi‐frequency remote sensing data, integrating active, passive, and optical sensors with varying canopy penetration depths, highlighting the importance of monitoring ...
