Abstract:
... In urban areas, pre‐existing concrete‐based demolition wastes and purposely introduced crushed dolerite have been used to create artificial soils, which capture carbon (C) as carbonate minerals and offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance capture of C in artificial soils through production of glomalin‐related soil protein (GRSP), which facilitates soil ...

data collection; micro-computed tomography; models; prediction; probability; soil structure
Abstract:
... Soil structure is highly interconnected to all of its properties and functions. The structure for most soils is very complex and hierarchical in nature. Considering the fact that a truly multiscale digital 3D soil structure model for a single genetic horizon, even with the resolution not finer than 1 μm, will contain an enormous amount (approx. up to 10¹⁵ voxels or even more) of data, it is an app ...

However, how the amount, components and chemical qualities of WEOC change at horizontal and vertical levels, as well as desorption in the cascade model in subtropical red soils, are not fully understood. We sampled soils from four types ...

Abstract:
... High expectations to harness agricultural soils as sinks for atmospheric carbon (C) necessitate methods for verifying changes in soil organic C (SOC) stocks and improving the accuracy of regional SOC stock estimates specific to various land‐use and management types. In this study we used a sample set included in the Finnish national soil monitoring network (n = 125) to determine the SOC stock and ...

Abstract:
... Classic soil physics relies heavily on the concept of representative elementary volume (REV), which is necessary to perform upscaling from the studied soil samples and parameterize continuum scale hydrological models (e.g., based on Richards or Darcy equations). In this paper, we explore the boundaries of the classic REV concept and conventional representativity studies that claim REV for any give ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen (N) addition and precipitation increment can greatly influence soil phosphorus (P) dynamics, with much emphasis on total and available P, yet little is known about their interactive effects on soil mineral‐bound inorganic P (Pᵢ) fractions under different historical land uses of grasslands and old fields. Thus, we compared (i) plant readily available P, (ii) less available Pᵢ (sum of NH₄F‐ ...

Abstract:
... Connectivity is one of the most important parameters to quantify pore structure and link it to soil functions. One of the great challenges in quantifying connectivity with X‐ray microtomography (X‐ray μCT) is that high resolution, as required for small pores, can only be achieved in small samples in which the connectivity of larger pores can no longer be quantified in a meaningful way. The objecti ...

Abstract:
... Two theories about the nature of phosphate in soil are current. One holds that soil phosphate is mostly present as particles of iron, aluminium and calcium phosphates: the precipitate‐particulate theory. The other holds that phosphate is mostly adsorbed and penetrates heterogeneous, variable‐charge particles: the adsorption‐penetration theory. This is the only theory that is consistent with and ca ...

Abstract:
... Endophytes live asymptomatically within many cool‐season grasses for at least a portion of their life cycle. Although the leaf endophyte effects on the growth and stress resistance of host grasses have been relatively well studied, less attention has been focused on how this relationship may impact soil microbial communities, especially arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We defined endophyte‐infe ...
