The issue of formulating scientifically sound standards for mercury (Hg) content in Arctic soils is becoming increasingly pertinent in view of the rising human impact and climate change, which serve to augment the mobility of Hg compounds and their i...
In the context of climate change, alterations to the physico-chemical properties of soils, particularly in Mediterranean regions, are a growing source of preoccupation. This study analyzes the ecological plasticity and biochemical adaptability of Thy...
Marine fog is a key non-rainfall water source that sustains microbial activity and transports dissolved nutrients inland, influencing early soil development in hyperarid ecosystems. However, the mechanisms through which sustained fog inputs drive soi...
Soil structure is one of the key soil water-physical properties that determine the water–air regime and ultimately affect soil fertility. This study aimed to test different machine learning (ML) methods in combination with environmental variabl...
This study aimed to quantify and assess the spatial distribution of 238U, 232Th, and 40K in the soils of the Espora Hydroelectric Power Plant (Espora HPP) and Queixada Small Hydroelectric Power Plant (Queixada SHPP) watershed (model hydraulic develop...
In arid regions, irrigation is essential for sustaining crop production, but irrigation water often contains high levels of salts that may reduce yields. This study aimed to evaluate crop responses to irrigation water with salinity levels exceeding 4...
Accurate prediction of soil texture is essential for effective soil management, precision agriculture, and hydrological modeling. This study proposes a novel, data-driven approach for estimating soil texture without the need for laboratory-based anal...
In flooded soils, the concentrations of exchangeable Mn2+ and, especially, Fe2+ can be high and must be considered when determining the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil under flooded conditions. However, these reduced forms of Mn and Fe are...
Freshwater scarcity in arid regions is driving increased use of saline irrigation, yet salinity severely degrades soil structure and suppresses enzymatic function. To address this critical challenge for sustainable soil management, this study systema...
This study is one of the first comprehensive assessments of soil carbon dynamics on the Black Sea coast of Russia, focusing on the role of soils in the terrestrial carbon cycle and the greenhouse gas balance of sub-Mediterranean ecosystems. Our integ...
