Quantitative assessment of soil quality indices for urban croplands in a calcareous semi-arid ecosystem
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of urbanization on different quantitative scenarios of soil quality indices (SQI) were investigated and 24 variables including a combination of fertility, salinity, and sodicity attributes and heavy elements of surface soils (0 to 50 cm depth) for 14 soil profiles of urban (10 profiles) and non-urban (4 profiles as control) fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the effects of various remediation strategies on soil properties and evaluate how those effects relate to soil functions, including soil organic matter (SOM) content and soil pH.

Detection and phylogenetic analysis of Coccidioides posadasii in Arizona soil samples
TL;DR: Assessment of applicability of PCR, with its potential for high-throughput screening, as a method for identifying Coccidioides-containing soils found to contain the pathogen in the Tucson area.

Response of radial increment variation of Scots pine to temperature, precipitation and soil water content along a latitudinal gradient across Finland and Estonia
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of daily temperature, precipitation and soil water content as regulators of tree growth across a north-south gradient was evaluated for analysing variations in the annual radial increments of trees across a latitudinal transect.

Analysis of factors controlling soil organic matter levels in Great Plains grasslands
TL;DR: In this article, a model of soil organic matter (SOM) quantity and composition was used to simulate steady-state organic matter levels for 24 grassland locations in the U.S. Great Plains.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a modeling approach aimed at seasonal resolution of global climatic and edaphic controls on patterns of terrestrial ecosystem production and soil microbial respiration using satellite imagery (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer and International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project solar radiation), along with historical climate (monthly temperature and precipitation) and soil attributes (texture, C and N contents) from global (1°) data sets as model inputs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Century ecosystem model was applied to a series of forest and grassland sites distributed globally to examine large-scale controls over soil carbon, including soil texture and foliar lignin content.
Model estimates of CO2 emissions from soil in response to global warming
TL;DR: In this article, the Rothamsted model is used to calculate the amount of CO2 that would be released from the world stock of soil organic matter if temperatures increase as predicted, the annual return of plant debris to the soil being held constant.

The role of biology in the formation, stabilization and degradation of soil structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of soil structure involves the physical forces of shrinking and swelling created by changes in water status of soils, freezing and thawing, tillage, or by movement of the larger biota in soils.
