A paradox between Soil Taxonomy and World Reference Base in classification of the soils with clay-enriched horizons (a case study in Central Zagros, Iran)
Both Soil Taxonomy (ST) and World Reference Base (WRB) classification systems include the plow layer as a criterion for diagnostic clay-enriched...

Unraveling mechanisms underlying effects of wetting–drying cycles on soil respiration in a dryland
Rewetting of dry soils usually stimulates soil carbon (C) emission, a phenomenon known as the Birch effect. Soil C cycling in drylands, which store...

Spatial Variability of Some Soil Physical Properties on Semi-Arid Cultivated Hillslopes in Hydropedological Perspective
AbstractHydropedology bridges hydrology to pedology, and hillslope hydropedology is central in understanding soil-topography-hydropedology...

Enhanced response of soil respiration to experimental warming upon thermokarst formation
As global temperatures continue to rise, a key uncertainty of terrestrial carbon (C)–climate feedback is the rate of C loss upon abrupt permafrost...

Soil aggregation influences soil drought degree after long-term organic fertilization in red soil
Fertilization is an effective approach to improve aggregation of red soil (Ultisol). However, the effect of soil aggregation after long-term organic...
