Effect of Scraping on Humus Content of Heavy Textured Soil Degraded by Excess Waters
On low-lying soils with a high clay content and poor water conductivity, excess water regularly appears after almost every rainy winter causing soil degradation, which leads to yield failures and/or losses.

Examination into the accuracy of exchangeable cation measurement in saline soils [PDF]
Despite the increasing prevalence of salinity world-wide, the measurement of exchangeable cation concentrations in saline soils remains problematic. Two soil types (Mollisol and Vertisol) were equilibrated with a range of sodium adsorption ratio (SAR ...

Nutrients, Metals, and Carbon in Soils Irrigated With Treated Versus Untreated Wastewater
Transitioning from untreated to treated wastewater irrigation reduced soluble N and P but enhanced Cr, Fe and Ni mobilization in long‐term wastewater‐irrigated Mezquital Valley soils, highlighting soil‐type‐dependent effects. ABSTRACT Background Reuse of wastewater for irrigation can mitigate pressure on water resources and support closing nutrient ...

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 ...
