••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the most current DSM method, Regression Kriging (RK) with a new approach derived from RandomForest (QRF) in regard to their ability of predicting the uncertainties of GlobalSoilMap soil property grids.
191 citations
••
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of current understanding on the interaction between soil OM and selenium in soil-plant systems is given, highlighting that OM can immobilize Se by both biotic and abiotic mechanisms and reduce its bioavailability but the release of OM-immobilized Se through mineralization should not be overlooked.
177 citations
••
TL;DR: This study investigated the impact of two distinct types of biochar on soil chemical properties, microbial communities, soil aggregation and aggregate-associated C within two California agricultural soils in a laboratory incubation study (60 weeks).
160 citations
••
TL;DR: The results suggest that the below-ground bacterial communities are more sensitive to N inputs, but P inputs can also play an important role in bacterial niche differentiation in pots with higher N or P input.
151 citations
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used principal component analysis (PCA) to identify sensitive soil quality indicators and to develop soil quality indices and establishment of their critical limits in Inceptisols, Entisols and Alfisols collected from farmers' fields with long-term rice-rice cropping system in sub-tropical India.
147 citations
••
TL;DR: In this article, 13C-labelled wheat residues (leaves, stalks, roots) were added to a silt-loam soil at levels of 1.40 and 5.04 kg−1 and CO2 release and δ13C signature were measured over 64 days at 20°C.
139 citations
••
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the heavy metal concentrations in soil-corn system, 30 pairs of soil and corn grain samples were collected from Baiyin City, China, a typical industrial oasis in Loess Plateau.
••
TL;DR: In this article, the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC), soil total nitrogen (STN), bulk density (BD), and mapped their spatial distribution at five standard soil depth intervals (0-5, 5-15, 15-30, 30-60 and 60-100).

••
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors studied the soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration and its correlations with environmental factors in the Wangmaogou Watershed of Wuding River, China.
••
TL;DR: In this article, X-ray tomography was used to measure soil pore space architecture at an image resolution of 65μm for 64 samples taken in two consecutive years in the harrowed and ploughed layers of a silt loam soil a few weeks after spring cultivation.
••
TL;DR: In this article, a precision analysis of the patterns of soil erosion and the soil surface components at the intra-plot scale was performed after monitoring soil erosion processes during 25 natural rainfall events.
••
TL;DR: In this article, the role of pore characteristics in soil carbon decomposition and protection at 5-1000μm spatial scale is discussed, with emphasis on direct and indirect effects on soil microorganisms and subsequent microbial effects on decomposition.
••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of six fresh and six aged biochars on the ability of soils to hold sufficient plant available water (PAW) between rainfall events.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that short-range-order (SRO) minerals are of particular interest due to their high reactive surface areas and capacity for soil C stabilization through sorption or co-precipitation.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the P fractions and its sorption indices in the plow layer of a typical subtropical paddy soil under different fertilization regimes were determined and a sequential fractionation scheme identified that NaOH-extractable inorganic inorganic P (NaOH-Pi) was the primary P form in the P soil followed by residual P (Pres).
••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the extent to which digital elevation models (DEM) derivatives and machine learning algorithms (k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, decision tree (DT) and random forest) can be used for predicting the location and extent of salt-affected areas within the Vaalharts and Breede River irrigation schemes of South Africa.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, a multiple-trees classification technique, namely Random Forest (RF), was applied to extend predictions from 1:25,000 legacy soil surveys (including WRB soil groups, soil depth and soil texture classes) to the larger area of Cyprus.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a long-term N and P addition experiment in an N-rich tropical forest, consisting of four treatments: control, N-addition, P-additions, and NP-addiction, respectively, and found that continuous N addition promoted acidification and made the buffering effects by P addition invisible in our soils at the Albuffering stage.
••
TL;DR: It is found that urea hydrolysis rate was significantly correlated with gene copies of bacterial 16S, ureC, and increased pH, which suggests that liming acid soils increases urea Hydrolysis rates in part by encouraging the growth of microorganisms capable of producing urease.
