The effects of railway transportation on the enrichment of heavy metals in the artificial soil on railway cut slopes
TL;DR: While Cd and Pb were significantly influenced by railway transportation, leaked cargos, fuel combustion, the use of lubricate oils and sleeper impregnation oils during railway transportation may be their main resources.

A neural network model for estimating soil phosphorus using terrain analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was developed and tested for estimating soil phosphorus (P) in Kouhin watershed area (1000 ha), Qazvin province, Iran using terrain analysis.

Shadow analysis: A method for measuring soil surface roughness
TL;DR: In this paper, a micro-topographic shadow analysis based on the interpretation of microtopographic shadows is proposed for measuring soil surface roughness in the field after tillage, and the results obtained with this method were compared to the statistical indexes used to interpret field readings recorded by a pin meter.

Composition of soil microbiome along elevation gradients in southwestern highlands of Saudi Arabia
Muhammad Yasir,Esam I. Azhar,Imran Khan,Fehmida Bibi,Rnda Baabdullah,Ibrahim A. Al-Zahrani,Ahmed K. Al-Ghamdi +6 more
TL;DR: The large number of OTUs shared between the studied samples suggest the presence of a core soil bacterial community in the southwestern highlands of Saudi Arabia, a hotspot for biodiversity but poorly studied for microbial diversity and composition.
Do Boreal Forests Need Fire Disturbance to Maintain Productivity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured organic layer thickness (OLT), mineral soil and foliage nutrient concentrations, soil temperature, ground cover of Sphagnum sp. and Ericaceae sp., leaf area index, aboveground biomass production, and growth efficiency index (GEI).

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.

Terrestrial ecosystem production: A process model based on global satellite and surface data
Christopher S. Potter,James T. Randerson,Christopher B. Field,Pamela A. Matson,Peter M. Vitousek,Harold A. Mooney,Steven Klooster +6 more
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.
