Inferring phylogenetic structure, taxa hybridization, and divergence times within rock voles of subgenus Aschizomys (Cricetidae: Alticola) using quaddRAD sequencing and a cytb dataset. [PDF]
Our case study considers the rock vole, genus Alticola, which remains one of the insufficiently studied genera of voles owing to its hard‐to‐access habitats and low abundance. Phylogenetic structure of the genus is complicated by few cases of mito‐nuclear discordance.

Ancient Microbiomes as Mirrored by DNA Extracted From Century-Old Herbarium Plants and Associated Soil. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Numerous specimens stored in natural history collections have been involuntarily preserved together with their associated microbiomes. We propose exploiting century‐old soils occasionally found on the roots of herbarium plants to assess the diversity of ancient soil microbial communities originally associated with these plants.

Imperialism, colonialism, and climate change science
Five areas of influence between imperialism, colonialism, and climate science. Abstract Historical studies of the influence of imperialism and colonialism on climate science have yet to be brought together into a critical synthesis. This advanced review offers a critical overview of the key themes of this literature with the primary intention of ...

Abstract A soil‐landscape conceptual model developed in the Rhode River subestuary of Maryland was applied to create a soil survey for the adjacent West River subestuary. The survey for the West River subestuary was completed before samples were collected there to evaluate the soil‐landscape conceptual model used to generate the soil survey.

Abstract Looking at soils from the perspective of an environmental scientist or agronomist might neglect various dimensions of valuation that can be attributed to soils. Especially social and cultural connoted values including ecosystem services cannot always be measured in terms of scientific values or classified as soil types or soil qualities in a ...

The contribution of Friedrich Albert Fallou to modern soil science
Abstract This article deals with Friedrich Albert Fallou (1794–1877), a lawyer by education with a strong interest for soil and geology who published “Pedologie oder allgemeine und besondere Bodenkunde” in 1862, that is, 20 years before Dokuchaev's (1883) “Russian Chernozem.” He is known for having coined the term of “pedology” but his role in the ...

Using homosoils for quantitative extrapolation of soil mapping models
Abstract Since the early 2000s, digital soil maps have been successfully used for various applications, including precision agriculture, environmental assessments and land use management. Globally, however, there are large disparities in the availability of soil data on which digital soil mapping (DSM) models can be fitted. Several studies attempted to

A c. 8.2 cal. ka BP multiproxy lake record from the southern Kuril Islands indicates the occurrence of the Holocene thermal maximum between c. 8.0 to 6.5 cal. ka BP, followed by a gradual cooling to modern at c. 2.3 cal. ka BP. These results when combined with other lacustrine sites in the archipelago do not support previous conclusions that had linked

Soil science education: A multinational look at current perspectives
Abstract Soil knowledge is essential to address modern global challenges. Soil science education began with soil survey and agricultural activities, with a focus on the traditional subdisciplines of soil chemistry, soil physics, pedology, soil mineralogy, and soil biology.
