Agricultural systems face a dual and often conflicting challenge: sustaining food production while restoring soil functions under climate and land ...

Growing demand for eco-conscious turf care and soil management highlights a shift toward sustainable materials and ...

A dominant paradigm in ecology is that plants are limited by nitrogen (N) during primary succession. Whether generalizable patterns of nutrient limitation are also applicable to metabolically and ...

JT Cornelis works for the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at the University of British Columbia, as an Associate Professor in soil science. He receives funding from NSERC Discovery Grant, NSERC ...

Ecologists examined the distribution patterns of canopy soils, and their soil properties, across Costa Rican forests. The researchers suggest canopy soil may store more carbon than previously thought.

Soils come in many different colors, described by hue, value, and chroma (Munsell color system). Using the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) online Web Soil Survey (WSS) to discover the ...

For research work in Zimbabwe, Rémi Cardinael has received funding from the DSCATT project "Agricultural Intensification and Dynamics of Soil Carbon Sequestration in ...

Melting Arctic glaciers are in rapid recession, and microscopic pioneers colonize the new exposed landscapes. Researchers revealed that yeasts play an important role in soil formation in the Arctic.

We know that soil feeds plants, but do we know how it got there in the first place? Soil forms via the interaction of five factors: parent material, climate, living beings, a land’s topography, and a ...
