A comparison of country-scale subsoil predictions between a numeric and a taxonomic soil classification systemTraditional soil classification systems are designed to communicate information; however, surveyor biases and tacit knowledge can lead to subjective s…

Soil policy principles and a policymaking framework using the soil security conceptThere is a growing demand for more soil-centric policies to ensure sustainable land management and soil security. The concept of soil security enhance…

Fire and clipping drive microbial fixation pathways in soil phosphorus and sulfur cycling in China's key karst regionDespite growing interest in nutrient cycling genes, the influence of fire and clipping on soil microbes, phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) cycling genes i…

Input map and feature selection for soil legacy dataTechniques that disaggregate complex soil-terrain polygons from legacy maps are becoming more relevant, as cost effective highly detailed soil informa…

Numerical soil horizon classification from South Africa’s legacy databaseAllocation of soil profiles to one or another soil class depends on the surveyor’s experience and knowledge. Inconsistent class designations can affec…

Comparing algorithms to disaggregate complex soil polygons in contrasting environmentsIn South Africa, the only soil resource available with full spatial coverage is the national resource inventory. Disaggregating this polygon-based inv…

Farm-scale soil patterns derived from automated terrain classificationLandform elements (LFEs) are commonly used in soil science to demark pedological boundaries and as a first indication of soil spatial variability. A n…

Spatial downscaling of global soil texture classes into 30 m images at the province scaleSoil categorical data is an important aspect in soil science because it effectively facilitates communication between policymakers and stakeholders. F…

Accessing global soil raster images and equal-area splines to estimate soil organic carbon stocks on the regional scaleSoil carbon stock research has gained prominence in environmental studies, especially given its significance as one of the largest terrestrial carbon …

Semi-automatic disaggregation of a national resource inventory into a farm-scale soil depth class mapKnowledge of soil depth spatial variability is important for land use management especially in dryland agriculture regions, which rely on climate and …

Exploring nickel adsorption and desorption dynamics in sandy clay loam and clay loam soilThis work sheds insight on the dynamics of nickel (Ni) in sandy clay loam and clay loam soil soils by investigating its adsorption and desorption beha…

Unraveling the impact of wildfires on permafrost ecosystems: Vulnerability, implications, and management strategiesPermafrost regions play an important role in global carbon and nitrogen cycling, storing enormous amounts of organic carbon and preserving a delicate …

Impact assessment of COVID-19 global pandemic on water, environment, and humansOne of the most significant threats to global health since the Second World War is the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to COVID-19 widespread social, environme…

Biodiversity loss caused by subsurface pipe drainage is difficult to restoreSubsurface pipe drainage was a frequently used way of agriculture intensification. Here, we present a case study of peat meadows that were drained fro…

Farm-scale digital soil mapping of soil classes in South AfricaThis study involved the evaluation of farm-scale digital soil classification in the Sandspruit catchment of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. The study aimed to evaluate a digital soil mappi...

Soil carbon stock assessment using depth and spatial models on afforested arable landsThe change from grasslands and natural shrubs to afforested arable land has a major impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Grasslands are known to be SOC sinks as seen in the Chernozems of Nor...

Harvesting Nature’s Treasure: Examining Soil Properties and Nutrient Bounty in the Crop Fields of Hafizabad, Punjab, Pakistan using Geostatistical KrigingNutrient distribution and quantification are critical to both agricultural output and agricultural protection. However, it can be difficult to properly measure these soil factors in places where transitions alter over short distances, which makes land-use management complicated. In the...

High-resolution digital soil mapping of multiple soil properties: an alternative to the traditional field survey?Spatial information on soil particle size distribution and soil organic carbon (SOC) are important for land-use management, environmental models and policy-making. Digital soil mapping (DSM) techni...
