This means that the true soil thickness exceeds the depth of sampling, and neglecting to account for the censored nature of the data can lead to poor model performance and underestimation of the true soil thickness. Survival analysis is a well-established domain of statistical modelling that can deal with censored data. The random survival forest is a notable example of a survival-related machine learning approach used to address right-censored soil property data in digital soil mapping. Previous studies that employed this model either focused on mapping the probability of soil thickness exceeding certain depths, and thereby not mapping soil thickness itself, or dismissed it due to perceived poor performance. In this study, we propose an alternative survival model to map soil thickness that is based on the inverse probability of censoring weighting. In this approach, calibration data are weighted by the inverse of the probability that soil thickness exceeds a certain depth, that is, a survival probability. These weights can then be used with most machine learning models. We used the weights with a regular random forest, and compared it with a random survival forest, and other strategies for handling right-censored data, through a comprehensive synthetic simulation study and two real-world case studies. The results suggest that the weighted random forest model produces competitive predictions, establishing it as a viable option for mapping right-censored soil property data.</p>","PeriodicalId":12043,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Soil Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejss.13589","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142384216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although soils are fundamental to ecosystem functioning, ecosystem classifications based on soil organisms are rare, and it is poorly understood whether their assemblage compositions follow existing classification schemes. We examined whether commonly used ecosystem types capture variation in earthworm (Lumbricidae) assemblages—a crucial biotic component of soil ecosystems. To this end, we created four ecosystem classifications by combining large-scale climatic classifications (Biogeographic Regions [BGR] and Holdridge Life Zones [HLZ]) with small-scale land cover classifications (CORINE Land Cover [CLC] and European Nature Information System [EUNIS]). European earthworm assemblage data from the sWORM and Edaphobase databases were analysed for variation in composition within and among ecosystem types, using Permutational Analysis of Variance and Analysis of Similarities. Additionally, we used Typical Species Analysis to establish typical earthworm assemblages (TAs) for each ecosystem type. Ecosystem classifications using the BGR explained more variance than HLZ, but HLZ showed a higher separation of assemblages between ecosystem types. The differentiation between Atlantic and Continental climates in the BGR could explain the superiority over the HLZ, which had only one category for the cool temperate zone of our study region. The typical assemblages contained on average six species, with some habitat generalists present in most. This study shows that combinations of ecosystem properties from different spatial scales can be used to distinguish between earthworm assemblages at the European level. However, earthworm assemblages across Europe were highly similar due to low species richness and the dominance of a few widespread species. This limits the possibility of applying TAs on large spatial scales, for example, for environmental monitoring.

As a result, their potential is not considered in urban planning even though they can deliver a range of ecosystem services. This paper describes a decision support tool for assessing soil ecosystem services to support urban land use planning. An overview of existing methods for assessing ecosystem services provided by urban soils has been detailed. Destisol, a model developed specifically for the urban context, is presented in detail. Destisol was then applied to 37 urban soils under various situations and pedoclimates. The main innovations of Destisol lie in the consideration of soil properties throughout the whole pedon and in the evaluation of the compatibility of the soil with different land covers. It is based on the acquisition of soil indicators, which are transformed into scores of soil functions, then into compatible land covers and finally into scores of ecosystem services. The architecture of the model is based on 20 physico-chemical-biological soil indicators used to score 15 soil functions, based on a detailed set of decision rules. The soil functions scores allow the calculation of a percentage of compatibility for 13 land covers. Finally, the resulting scores are used to evaluate 18 ecosystem services, as a function of land cover. The tests show a wide distribution of scores depending on the soil studied, but also depending on the soil function, land cover or ecosystem service considered. Technosols show the largest dispersion of soil function scores, and no correlation was found between the anthropization gradient and the mean soil function score. The main results of Destisol are an assessment of the soil suitability, that is the compatibility between a soil and a land cover, and an explicit assessment of the ecosystem services provided depending on the land covers.</p>","PeriodicalId":12043,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Soil Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142377326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of gas diffusion processes in the rhizosphere by explaining the geometric alterations of the soil pore space induced by mucilage. We quantified the effect of a root mucilage analogue collected from chia seeds without intrinsic respiratory activity on oxygen diffusion at different water contents during drying–rewetting cycles in a diffusion chamber experiment. Quantification of oxygen diffusion showed that mucilage decreased the gas diffusion coefficient in dry soil without affecting air-filled porosity. Without mucilage, a hysteresis in gas diffusion coefficient during a drying–rewetting cycle was observed. The effect depended on particle size and diminished with increasing mucilage content. X-ray computed tomography imaging indicated a hysteresis in the connectivity of the gas phase during a drying–rewetting cycle for samples without mucilage. This effect was attenuated with increasing mucilage content. Furthermore, electron microscopy showed that mucilage structures formed in drying soil increase with mucilage content, thereby progressively reducing the connectivity of the gas phase. In conclusion, the effect of mucilage on soil gas diffusion highly depends on soil texture and mucilage content.

Different cover crops have varying impacts on soil biology and nutrient dynamics due to the quantity and quality of plant material returned to the soil. To understand these effects, high-resolution data on crop responses is required. In this study, remote sensing was used to provide such data. The temporal dynamics of soil nitrogen (N) availability and N uptake in barley were studied in response to different cover crop monocultures and mixtures. This was achieved using high-resolution multispectral images of the main crop acquired from an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alongside this, in-situ collected plant and soil parameters were used in this 5-year cover crop field experiment. The results showed that cover crop legacies significantly affected barley N uptake, biomass, and canopy N content. In early June, at peak canopy N, the highest values were observed in barley grown after vetch-radish or oat-radish mixtures (84 kg N/ha) and the lowest in barley grown after fallow (63 kg N) or oat (53 kg N/ha on 23rd of June). At the start of the barley growing season, soil microbial biomass was not significantly affected by the cover crop legacies. However, differential N mineralisation between cover crop legacies can be attributed to differences in microbial activity associated with cover crop quantity and quality. This research demonstrates the potential of remote sensing to monitor and understand temporal and spatial variation of crop canopy N in response to cover crop N mineralisation by the soil biota which is an important component of soil health. This approach can contribute to more efficient N use by enabling fine-tuning of the type, quantity, timing, and location of fertilisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":12043,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Soil Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejss.13582","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142362783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These findings highlight the distinct ecological niches occupied by microbial groups with equivalent functions in response to N and P amendments. Moreover, our findings indicate that soil N and P availabilities, along with soil acidification induced by N additions and microbial biomass carbon content, are key factors regulating N-cycling gene abundances and potentials. The driving mechanisms for N-cycling genes and their corresponding potentials appear to be distinct, with gene abundance showing only a limited influence on functional potentials.

Evaporation, aeration, chemical-reaction rates and types, biological processes such as germination and growth of seeds, root development, nutrient and water uptake by roots, and decomposition of organic matter by microbes, are all strongly influenced by soil temperature. On the other hand, infiltration of water through the soil surface allows soil to temporarily store water, making it available for uptake by plants and organisms living in soil. Furthermore, soil water content is closely related to physical and chemical properties of soil, such as oxygen content and demand, which impacts root breathing, microbial activity and soil chemical balance. The accurate evaluation of these two parameters and their interconnection is even relevant in semi-arid regions, where climate conditions are particularly difficult, such as the north-eastern zone of Brazil. Thus, the use of computational models and coupled approaches are imperative for rigorous descriptions. This work presents a contribution to estimate soil temperature and water content, by solving the heat transfer equation and the Richards equation, respectively, through finite differences. As input, the model uses the experimental material composition of the soil, the time-dependent temperature profile at the surface and information about the regional rain regime.
