Soils and Climate Change: Gas Fluxes and Soil Processes

Eric C. Brevik · 1 Jul 2012

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global temperatures are expected to increase 1.1 to 6.4°C during the 21st century, and precipitation patterns will be altered by climate change. Soils are intricately linked to the atmospheric–climate system through the carbon, nitrogen, and hydrologic cycles. Altered climate will, therefore, have an effect on soil processes…

Assessment and Evaluation of Soil Ecosystem Services

N. B. Comerford, Alan J. Franzluebbers, Mary E. Stromberger et al. · 1 May 2013

Soil ecosystem services are diverse, valuable, and underappreciated. They are classified as provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural services. This paper is the product of a Soil Science Society of America task force convened to define and value ecosystem services derived from soil for the benefit of scientists, elected officials, and practitioners with the hope that…

How Pedology and Mineralogy Helped Solve a Double Murder Case: Using Forensics to Inspire Future Generations of Soil Scientists

R. W. Fitzpatrick, Mark Raven · 1 Sep 2012

These days we need to work harder to attract students to study soil science because they have a somewhat dry and dusty, or a muddy and smelly, image of soil science, especially of pedology, but this stereotype can be far from reality. Forensic soil science represents a developing discipline of soil science, and has matured…

Sampling Protocols for Permafrost‐Affected Soils

Chien‐Lu Ping, Mark Clark, J. M. Kimble et al. · 1 Jan 2013

In the Arctic tundra and boreal regions, permafrost‐affected soils (Gelisols) have segregated ice that accumulates and thaws during freeze–thaw cycles resulting in cryoturbated soils. These cryoturbated soils (Turbels) have warped, broken, or involuted horizons and cryostructures that require sampling protocols different than soils not affected by permafrost. We provide a general overview of the cryoturbated…

Long‐Term Effects of Compaction on Soil Properties Along the Mormon Trail, South‐Central Iowa, USA

Eric C. Brevik, T. E. Fenton · 1 Sep 2012

The literature contains many studies addressing various aspects of soil compaction, but few of those studies address long‐term (>30 yr), natural recovery of the soil from compaction. Here, natural soil recovery over a 146‐yr period is investigated by comparing the properties of Sharpsburg soils in the Mormon Trail to those alongside the trail at a…
