Temperature measurements are combined with the study of cryogenic characteristics. The freezing point of soil moisture has been measured in laboratory. The temperature field within the soil complex is most heterogeneous. In the fall–winter season, the soil of microhighs is colder than the soils of microlows and microslopes; however, the microslope warms up faster than the microelevation and microlow in the spring–summer season. The differences between the temperature of soils in the frozen layer of microhighs and microlows reach –4.5°C at the beginning of freezing (December 15, 2019 at a depth of 15 cm), –4.0°C at the end of winter (February 10–11, 2020 at a depth of 5 cm), and –6.5°C during thawing (March 21–23, 2020 at a depth of 5 cm). The differences in the temperature regime along the microrelief are accompanied by the differences in the moisture distribution along the profile and determine the manifestation of cryogenic processes. The soils of microhighs freeze deeper and lens-type cryostructure forms in the entire frozen layer; this is accompanied by frost heaving, cryogenic sorting of coarse fragments, and formation of a crust on the soil surface ensuring preservation of the microtopography and soil cover pattern of chalk polygons. Cryogenic processes determine the formation of a platy soil structure in microhighs. Freezing in microlows is blocked in the middle part of the profile because of relatively high soil temperatures and low soil freezing points. The cryogenic characteristics and processes described in microhighs are unobservable in microlows.</p>","PeriodicalId":11892,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Soil Science","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141255947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, their effect on the soil structure remains poorly known. In this article, an experiment to study the impact of synthetic and natural resins on the nano- and microstructure of soil during impregnation is considered. First data on the characteristics of resins frequently used in laboratories, as well as on their effects on the structure of soil samples have been obtained with small-angle X-ray scattering and computed tomography techniques. The X-ray transparency of fixing materials was detected. Subsequent impregnation of the AU horizon fraction from Haplic Chernozems of Kursk oblast by fixing materials allowed establishing their influence on the change in size of soil nanostructural heterogeneities. The experiment with different horizons of Protosalic Solonetz attests to a decrease in the size of nanoheterogeneities with depth in the impregnated soil as compared with that in the native soil. At the microlevel, a decrease in microporosity within the first percent after polymerization of the fixing material has been proved. As a result of studies of nanoheterogeneities in the soil, scanning parameters have been experimentally selected at the BioSAS station of the Kurchatov`s synchrotron radiation source. The nanostructure of soil core samples and separate fractions has been studied for the first time at this station. The above results can be used in sample preparation and further analysis of organomineral objects (soils, rocks) for a number of studies that require fixation of the substance structure at different dimensional levels.</p>","PeriodicalId":11892,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Soil Science","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141255949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agrostratozems of Medieval agricultural terraces in Dagestan mountains (Plaggic and Hortic Anthrosols) were chosen as objects of study. In all cases, the enzymatic activity of the studied soils decreased in all soil layers in the following sequence: alkaline phosphatase &gt; phosphodiesterase &gt; acid phosphatase &gt; pyrophosphatase ≥ leucine aminopeptidase &gt; arylsulfatase &gt; chitinase &gt; β-glucosidase &gt; xylanase &gt; α-glucosidase &gt; cellobiohydrolase. The enzymatic activity of the studied soils was primarily determined by the amount of microbial biomass (C_mic). Thus, the activity of enzymes of various groups depended on C_mic by 61–94%. Agricultural practices associated with ploughing, manuring, and irrigation induce the convergence in the activity of nitrogen cycle enzymes in soils of the mountain zone, which is associated with similar features of the nitrogen cycle in agrogenic soils, regardless of bioclimatic conditions. The addition of organic materials has led to an increase in the physiological efficiency of microbial communities and the rate of enzyme production, and high levels of biological activity can persist in soil for about 1000 years.

Rheological studies of soil samples have been performed with plate–plate measuring systems at maximum capillary water saturation. The strongest interactions between soil particles develop in the horizons with the high content of mobile humus compounds (fulvic acids) and Al–Fe-humus complexes (ELhi,g–ELg–CRM horizons). Increased structural stiffness is due to the binding of soil particles with humus substances and Al–Fe-humus complexes with the development of strong interparticle bonds. Freezing–thawing processes are an important factor of changes in rheological parameters. The impact of seasonal freezing on the rheological behavior is most clearly pronounced in the profile of semihydromorphic svetlozems (Histic Gleyic Stagnosols) in their cryometamorphic (CRM) horizons, where increased stiffness of interparticle bonds is due to condensation compaction of soil particles in the course of the long-term development under temperatures close to 0°С (zero curtain). With an increase in the soil moistening, disaggregation of the mineral mass takes place, which is seen from a significant increase in the plasticity range. Disaggregated soils are more susceptible to erosion, but a thick moss–peat layer forming in the upper part of the profile of semihydromorphic soils protects them from degradation. In the northward direction, from the texturally differentiated soils of southern taiga to the cryomethamorphic soils of forest-tundra, the stiffness and brittleness of interparticle bonds increase, which is associated with a more active input of fulvic acids, including Al–Fe-humus complexes, as well as with a longer freezing of northern soils. It is shown that rheological parameters can be used as additional indicators in the diagnosis and classification of taiga soils.</p>","PeriodicalId":11892,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Soil Science","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141255857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to identify and evaluate the risks associated with gully erosion in the Medjerda watershed in the northeastern part of Algeria. To accomplish this goal, two models were utilized: the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP) and the frequency ratio (FR). Twelve factors that contribute to soil erosion were considered in the study: slope, elevation, distance to streams, land use and land cover, drainage density (DD), topographic wetness index (TWI), rainfall, soil groups, lineament density, soil power index (SPI), sediment transport index (STI), and plan curvature. The results indicate that sediment transport index (STI), rainfall, and slope are the most influential factors in predicting erosion in the Medjerda Basin. To validate the models used, the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) was employed. The AUC values obtained for the FR and F-AHP models were 75.5 and 73.7%, respectively, indicating their excellent accuracy in identifying the erosion susceptibility area. The accuracy ratings of both models demonstrate their outstanding predictive capabilities. Thus, the results of soil erosion susceptibility maps with a better success rate and forecast could be beneficial and effective for implementing various policy measures to safeguard soil.

But little is known about its long-term effects on different soil layers. This study aims to test if biogas slurry substitution alters soil nutrients and aggregates differently in different layers and how the effects are influenced by straw return. A five-year field trial of a winter wheat–summer maize rotation was established to evaluate the effects of biogas slurry substitution [treatments: control without fertilizer (CK); chemical fertilizer (CF); 50% biogas slurry substitution (BSCF); 100% biogas slurry substitution (BS)] on two soil layers (0–20 and 20–40 cm) under equal N, P, and K fertilization in a Fluvisol. The result showed that compared with CK, fertilization was necessary to maintain soil available nitrogen (AN) and available potassium (AK) in the 0–20 cm layer. Also, fertilization had positive effects on soil EC, TN, and AP, especially in the topsoil. In terms of increasing the degree of water-stable macroaggregation, improving aggregate stability and reducing their crushing rates, CF was superior to biogas slurry substitution because of the greater accumulations of soil N, the most important physicochemical factor regulating soil macroaggregation and stability. The effects of biogas slurry substitution changed with soil layers. In surface soil, BD, water-stable macroaggregates, and aggregate stability significantly increased due to the positive regulatory effects of straw, AP, and EC; whereas in subsoil, they decreased. Inorganic fertilization with straw return functions well in soil structural degradation control and N fertility improvement, especially in the topsoil. Whereas in fields without straw return, biogas slurry substitution may be a feasible and economical choice to improve topsoil structure and also an excellent supplement to provide P and K.</p>","PeriodicalId":11892,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Soil Science","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141198012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates the hysteresis of WRC in saline soils by measuring the drying and wetting WRC of silty clay loam exposed to different salinities using a tension meter. We find that WRC is influenced by the superposition coupling effect of salinity and dry density, which results in an upward shift of WRC and increases the soil water holding capacity. In addition, soil matrix suction also rises with the increasing salt concentration, leading to a gradual upward shift in WRC. The presence of salt in pore spaces weakens the “ink-bottle” effect, disjoining pressure and air entrapment effect, results in a 30.9% reduction in hysteresis of WRC with increasing salinity. Additionally, the volumetric shrinkage of low dry density silty clay loam also weakens the WRC hysteresis. Furthermore, we utilized a WRC hysteresis model that considers the “ink-bottle” effect and entrapped air, which reasonably predicts the main wetting WRC of saline silty clay loam. The root-mean-square error and mean absolute error between predicted and measured values are 0.027–0.039 and 0.036–0.060, respectively.
