Journal Article
Investigating periodic variations of salt-affected soil distribution from the perspective of salt absorption and migration pathway shifts induced by salt discharge zone
Rational allocation and enhancement of saline soils can effectively counteract the growing soil salinization and the reduction of available arable land resources. However, some soils are challenging to improve and often remain ineffective due to factors such as evaporation and groundwater. Instead…

Mapping soil property classes over a large territory with multiple soilscapes by digital extrapolations of legacy detailed soil maps: A case study in Karnataka -South India
Using detailed soil maps to calibrate DSM models could be an alternative to point observations, as they would account for local soil patterns more accurately than the sparse sets of soil profiles classically used in broad-scale DSM applications. However, the detailed soil surveys are most often…

Combined diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and digital soil mapping for soil assessment in smallholder farms
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and digital soil mapping (DSM) offer opportunities to rapidly assess soil in large areas. Specifically, the combined DRS-DSM modelling pipeline may be used to create soil test recommendations for every smallholder farm in a given region although comprehensive…

Does a tradeoff between temporal stability and sampling frequency contribute to the prediction accuracy of soil moisture in alternative stable states?
Soil water content (SWC) regulates patchy vegetation patterns in arid regions, where alternative stable states (ASS) explain vegetation mosaics. Although temporal stability and sampling frequency (SF) are critical for SWC prediction, their tradeoff and its impact on prediction accuracy remain…

A RothC-based spatiotemporal analysis of soil organic carbon stocks in agricultural soils of the Netherlands (1986–2022)
Soils are the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, with soil organic carbon (SOC) playing a critical role in maintaining soil quality and associated ecosystem services. Accurately estimating SOC stocks at high spatial and temporal resolution over large scales remains challenging, particularly in…

Litter-type-specific succession of microeukaryotic communities and their associations with litter decomposition
Litter decomposition regulates nutrient cycling and carbon turnover, with fungi arguably being the main drivers. While protists are interacting with fungi, their role, as well as the interaction between both groups of microeukaryotes in litter decomposition, remain largely unknown. In this study…

Changes in natural 15N abundance highlight warming-induced stimulation of soil nitrate losses by coupled nitrification–denitrification in an old-growth montane forest
Climate warming alters biogeochemical cycles, especially in high-altitude forests where warming accelerates soil organic matter decomposition and CO2 efflux. Faster nitrogen (N) mineralization can enhance N availability to plants but may also increase N losses if soil microbial N use efficiency…

Asymmetric responses of gross primary productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (Reco) in response to long-term drought
Gross primary productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (Reco) account for the largest fluxes of CO2 between the land surface and the atmosphere but exhibit different sensitivities in response to climate change causing potentially large effects on land-climate feedback. In this study, we…

Pedological classification systems as carriers of functional information in terroir interpretation and the formalization of the SCORE-V factorial framework
Understanding how soil variability contributes to wine composition remains a central challenge in terroir science. Although soil classification is widely applied in land evaluation and international data harmonization, its potential to encode functionally relevant edaphic conditions has been only…

Organo-aluminum complexation as a dominant metal control on soil carbon storage in Andisols: Global evidence across pedogenic and pH gradients
Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and persistence are strongly controlled by reactive metal phases, particularly organically complexed aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) and short-range-order (SRO) minerals. However, their global relevance and the specific metal phases involved remain uncertain due to…

Multispectral bare soil composites as a resource for SOC mapping rather than SOC monitoring: A case study in the Walloon region (Belgium)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator of soil health on croplands, as well as a potential lever for carbon sequestration in agriculture. This requires tools for understanding spatial and temporal variations in SOC content. Multispectral satellites provide data on bare soil reflectance which…

Characterization and determination of soil unsaturated hydraulic conductivity by integrating time-lapse geophysical data with hydrogeological measurements
Accurate estimation of soil unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (kθ) is critical for predicting vadose zone flow dynamics and characterizing subsurface hydrological processes. Traditional point scale tests are invasive and lack the spatiotemporal resolution required to capture field heterogeneity…

Enhanced soil organic carbon estimation via hybrid modeling: A data-driven solution to carbon inputs
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key component of the global carbon cycle, yet reliable SOC stock prediction remains constrained by uncertainties in carbon inputs (Cinputs). Conventional process-based models, such as RothC, typically rely on empirical estimates of Cinputs, limiting their…

Trade-offs and counteractions: carbon sink-source dynamics and carbon market potential in paddy fields under long-term elevated CO2 and warming
Rice paddies, which are crucial to global food security but also significant sources of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, are facing unprecedented pressure under climate change. Quantifying their carbon sink-source dynamics under interactive elevated CO2 (eCO2) and warming is essential for…

Iron oxides, enzymes, and nutrients control soil organic matter stability in subtropical forest ecosystems
Although mineral protection plays a pivotal role in maintaining the long-term stability of soil organic matter (SOM), the mechanisms by which mineral protection acts through interactions with nutrients and enzymes remain unclear. Our aim was to explore how Fe and Al oxides, enzymes, and nutrients…

Accounting for soil class variability in Mediterranean Europe using legacy soil maps and the topsoil LUCAS survey
Mediterranean soils exhibit high pedological diversity, shaped by complex climatic, geomorphological, and anthropogenic drivers. Assessing this variability at the continental scale requires harmonized sampling frameworks. The LUCAS topsoil module provides standardized EU-wide topsoil…

Methods matter: examining the apparent saturation of soil mineral-associated organic carbon
Identifying organic carbon (C) saturation behavior in large soil datasets will broaden the scientific community’s understanding of C sequestration potential and enable targeted effort toward efficient C sequestration. Recently, there has been debate on whether mineral-associated organic carbon…

Long term low-level nitrogen addition enhances microbial carbon use efficiency and turnover rate across different seasons
Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a key parameter in regulating the soil microbial C cycle, influencing C mineralization, turnover, and sequestration. The boreal forest plays a key role in the global C cycle, attributable to its substantial C stocks. However, seasonal variations in microbial…

Maize root growth, oxygen and N availability drive formation of N2O hotspots in soil
Plant roots can modify all major controls of denitrification in soils, particularly the availability of the main substrates (NO3− and Corg), soil moisture, soil O2 content, and root-associated microbial communities, and thus play an important role in N2O formation. Direct in-situ measurements of…
