It was broodingly hot, and outside a strike led to a standstill of public transport. Inside some 20 scientists juggled ideas and started gluing together what was to become the Research Programme EJP SOIL. What is EJP SOIL? It is an European Joint Programme on Agricultural Soil Management addressing key societal challenges including climate change and future food supply. EJP SOIL unites a unique group of 26 partner institutions, 46 including linked third parties from 24 European countries with 1327 experts collaborating. This is made possible by 5 years of funding under Horizon Europe 2020 with 50% national co-funding (https://ejpsoil.eu/). The aim is to pool national research efforts in order to make better use of Europe's research and development resources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why was EJP SOIL initiated? Soil provides a wide range of ecosystem services and plays a critical role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. At the same time soil is a limited resource and it is fragile. The Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ estimated that 60%–70% of all soils in the EU are unhealthy due to current management practices, pollution, urbanisation and the effects of climate change. Climate change necessitates that European agriculture adapts and becomes more resilient to extreme events (droughts, fires, heatwaves, storms, and heavy rain), which have increased significantly over the past decade. European agricultural soils contain 31% of the EU's total soil carbon stocks and have the potential to store more carbon. However, those soils are severely affected by the loss of soil organic carbon (SOC, biodiversity, nutrients and increased salinization, sealing, compaction and pollution. Improved knowledge and farming practices are fundamental to address these challenges. Actions in stopping the damages are dependent on societal, scientific, policy, economic and educational capacities. The EJP SOIL goal is to improve the understanding of agricultural soil management by finding synergies in research, strengthening research communities and contributing to public policies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;EJP SOIL takes into account the need for effective policy solutions and strategic multi-actor approach allowing to initiate inter-society dialogues and the adoption of best practices. Following this narrative, the first year of this five-year programme focused on taking stock of soil problems and their possible solutions, soil knowledge and soil knowledge gaps, and on expertise and availability of data. This is reflected in this first Special Issue of EJP SOIL by 10 surveys, eight reviews and four research papers. A new article type “Survey Article” was developed and introduced within the EJSS to contribute to systematic assessments across European countries, allowing to know the soil status and development of research and state of play.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All papers resulting from EJP SOIL","PeriodicalId":12043,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Soil Science","volume":"76 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejss.70079","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143497329","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}

In areas where acid sulfate (AS) soils are abundant, the importance of the estuary as a coastal filter is heightened as AS soils typically stress the marine environment with acidic metal-laden drainage waters. In this study, we took sediment cores from a shallow estuary in Western Finland and used geochemical and palaeoecological methods to investigate how the estuary is affected by loading from AS soils. An overall decrease in diatom species richness and diversity in the estuarine sediments was found, with a clear change from species preferring pelagic conditions to species indicative of more eutrophic conditions. The change coincides with human disturbance during the early 20th century when extensive drainage and rework of forests and peatlands into agricultural use increased. Geochemical analyses show a significant enrichment of Cd, Ni, Co, Zn and Al in the estuarine sediments which correspond to the metal loads originating from the catchment AS soils. Our calculations, however, show that in comparison to the total load of soluble metals from the catchment area, more than 80% of chalcophiles and 70% of Al are transported further out to sea. We hypothesised that a precipitation gradient driven by changes in pH and salinity due to seawater mixing would form along a transect towards the estuary outlet. Instead, we found that physical sedimentation processes are stronger drivers for element transport, as enrichment takes place only in low-energy hydrodynamic conditions at greater water depths. Glacioisostatic land uplift and significant particle transport from the catchment area are further isolating the estuary, effectively moving the saline gradient seawards and diminishing the role of the estuary as a coastal filter. We also found that the estuarine sediments are hypersulfidic and contain stores of potential acidity significantly larger than conventional AS soils. Without proper management, disturbance of the estuarine sediments can cause disastrous consequences at a local level.</p>","PeriodicalId":12043,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Soil Science","volume":"76 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejss.70075","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143489873","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}

We estimated C losses during feed digestion of plant material, storage of manure, composting and anaerobic digestion of plant material and manure, and pyrolysis of plant material, using values reported in the literature. We then applied an extended version of the widely used SOC model RothC with newly developed parameters to quantify the SOC storage efficiency, that is, accounting for both processing losses off-site and decomposition losses of the different EOMs in the soil. Based on simulations for a 39-year long cropland trial in Switzerland, we found that the SOC storage efficiency is higher for plant material directly added to the soil (16%) compared to digestate and manure (3% and 5%, respectively). For compost, the effect was less clear (2% ̶ 18%; mean: 10%) due to a high uncertainty in C-losses during composting. In the case of biochar, 43% of the initial plant C remained in the soil, due to its high intrinsic stability despite C-losses of 54% during pyrolysis.

Despite considerable efforts to monitor soil conditions, traditional evaluations often focus on temporal comparisons within similar locations, which can limit the understanding of broader changes. To address these challenges, this study employs the pedogenon map framework to systematically compare SOC changes in soils under natural conditions (genosoils) and those affected by human activity (phenosoils) across Australia. By analysing SOC fractions with different mean residence times – mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) – the study aims to assess the durability of SOC changes over time. The methodology includes selecting soil profiles within pedogenons, evaluating SOC changes, and estimating the impact of these changes on SOC's residence time using the soil tonne-year carbon (STYC) metric. The findings reveal significant spatial variations in SOC changes and their impact on residence time. Areas where SOC increased are mainly due to genosoils with lower SOC values, while genosoils with high SOC values have significantly decreased when converted to phenosoils, reflecting potentially unsustainable agricultural practices. Similar results have been found concerning the residence time of SOC regarding the genosoils SOC values. The study demonstrates that the pedogenon map is an effective tool for detecting SOC changes due to human activities, providing a robust framework for assessing soil carbon storage and informing targeted remediation strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":12043,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Soil Science","volume":"76 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejss.70070","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481291","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}

Soil is a naturally occurring complex system composed of multiple components. Existing research on soil particle aggregation has predominantly focused on homo-aggregation. However, the addition of biochar to soil inevitably induces hetero-aggregation with soil components. In this study, the effects of biochar NPs on the aggregation of representative clay minerals (hematite and illite) and natural soil NPs from Luvisol, Phaeozem and Ferralsol under various solution chemistry were studied. The mechanisms were further elucidated by adopting the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory. The results indicated that the addition of negatively charged biochar NPs significantly altered the aggregation behaviours of positively charged hematite NPs through charge neutralisation. The aggregation of negatively charged illite particles was inhibited by the generating H-bonding and steric repulsion. Biochar NPs significantly increased the colloidal stability of Luvisol (from 343.82 to 382.96 mM) and Ferralsol NPs (from 28.39 to 215.35 mM) by increasing the net DLVO repulsive forces. Nevertheless, the stability of Phaeozem NPs, containing higher organic matter, decreased with increasing biochar NP concentrations due to electrostatic shielding. In conclusion, for complicated natural soil systems with significant differences between organic and inorganic components, the application of biochar NPs has a profound impact on colloidal particle interactions, particularly affecting positively-charged mineral colloids and soils with low soil organic matter content.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12043,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Soil Science","volume":"76 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481534","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}

However, the effect of crop diversification measures on microbial physiology and potential effects on C cycling in agricultural soils is still unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we sampled topsoil from eight experimental sites covering different crop diversification measures across Europe (i.e., cover crops, ley farming, vegetation stripes).

Additionally, a second sampling at five selected sites examined whether the growing season influenced the impact of crop diversification.
