Discussion of "cyclic tests on high-quality undisturbed block samples of soft marine Norwegian clay"
The article by Wichtmann et al. (2013) presents a comprehensive set of laboratory test data on the cyclic undrained shear strength of soft marine Norwegian Onsoy clay. The tests were performed on Specimen Quality... -
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Since Spartina alterniflora (simplified as Spartina) has strong ecological competitiveness and rapid growth, it has been introduced and living in the coastal wetland regions of China for more than 30...

From:Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (Vol. 22, Issue 9) Peer-Reviewed
Soil moisture affects the partitioning of water and energy and is recognized as an essential climate variable. Soil moisture estimates derived from passive microwave remote sensing can improve model estimates through...

Potential for using soil particle-size data to infer geological parent material in the Sydney Region
Ecological communities are more than assemblages of species. In assessing the presence of many ecological communities, interpretation of soil properties and associated parent material has become a definitive component... -
From:Soil Research (Vol. 52, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThe importance of soil organic carbon (SOC) in maintaining soil health is well understood. However, there is growing interest in studying SOC with an emphasis on quantifying its changes in space and time. This is...

From:Soil Research (Vol. 52, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedPhysical quality of the soil seedbed affects germination, seedling emergence and crop establishment. The aim of this work was to determine the least-limiting water range (LLWR) of a soil seedbed cultivated for 18...
-
From:Soil Research (Vol. 52, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedSoils in boundary conditions of contrasting ecosystems generally show unique features. Transition often leads to changes in soil-forming processes, whereby the environment never comes to equilibrium and therefore the...

From:Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences (Vol. 62, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedInterrelationships between soil cover and plant cover of normally developed (or postlithogenic) mineral soils are analysed on the basis of four sampling soil groups. The four-link pedo-ecological sequence of analysed...
-
From:Soil Research (Vol. 58, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedUse of soil cover crops of different families in crop rotation or succession under no-tillage system (NTS) for onion production results in higher soil quality compared to land use systems with less plant diversity. The...

Spatial assessments of soil organic carbon for stakeholder decision-making - a case study from Kenya
Land degradation impacts the health and livelihoods of about 1.5 billion people worldwide. Given that the state of the environment and food security are strongly interlinked in tropical landscapes, the increasing...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedDuring mining topsoil is salvaged and stockpiled until ready for reclamation, stockpiling can have detrimental effects on seed viability and soil quality. Research has assessed effects of salvage and placement depth of...
-
From:Soil Research (Vol. 51, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedSoil organic carbon (SOC) plays an important role in maintaining and improving soil fertility and quality, in addition to mitigating climate change. Understanding SOC spatial variability is fundamental for describing...
