Permafrost thawing of northern peatlands can cause the local collapse of peat plateaus into much wetter thermokarst bogs and fens, dominated by Sphagnum mosses and graminoids, respectively. However, permafrost thaw can also improve landscape drainage and, thus, lead to the regional drying of peatlands. How gradual drying of these thawing permafrost peatlands affects the subsequent microbial production of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) is uncertain because of landscape heterogeneity in moisture, peat quality, and vegetation. Here, we collected near-surface peat samples (5–20 cm) from Alberta, Canada, across transects representing a thaw gradient from peat plateaus to a fen or bog. We incubated the samples for 2 weeks under either field moisture or under gradual drying to reduce moisture by ∼ 80 %. Only the fen sites, which had high moisture and a high percentage of total N, produced N2O (0.06–6.7 µg N2O-N per gram of dry peat), but N2O production was unaffected by the drying treatments. Peat CO2 production was greatest from the fen and the youngest stage of the thermokarst bog, despite them having the most water-saturated field conditions, likely reflecting their more labile plant inputs and, thus, more decomposable peat. We found that CO2 respiration was enhanced by drying at relatively wet sites like the fens and young bog but was suppressed by drying in relatively drier peat plateaus. Further, gradual drying increased 13C-CO2 respiration, suggesting a possible shift to more decomposed, older C being lost with peat drying. Thus, our study suggests that future peat CO2 and N2O production from peatlands will depend on whether peat plateaus thaw into fens or bogs and on their diverging responses of peat respiration to more moisture-limited conditions.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945598","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}

A current knowledge gap is how to examine the spatial and temporal effectiveness of such an action i.e., assessing the behaviour of the water table in the adjoining field. To address this gap, at a drained agricultural grassland site with shallow fen peat soils (ranging from 0 to 2 m depth), water level in an open drain was raised by installing a dam. Associated changes to the water table depth (WTD) were monitored using two nests of dip wells installed at two locations (Rewetted and Normal areas) in the adjoining field. Soil profile volumetric water content (VWC) data were obtained in these two areas in addition to the temperature, salinity, pH, and electrical conductivity signature of the water in the open drain. These data were integrated with geophysical (electromagnetic induction (EMI)) survey data conducted during summer and winter. Results from the dip wells (located &gt; 20 m from dam) indicated that no measurable change in WTD occurred due to the dam installation, aligning with previous studies suggesting limited spatial influence in agricultural fen peat soils. VWC profiles, while consistent with peat physical properties, showed no deviation attributable to drain damming. The EMI results identified a distinct zone with electrical conductivity values similar to those of open drain water, suggesting localised water infiltration within ~20 m of the dammed drain during summer. This spatial impact was less evident during winter, likely due to increased precipitation and regional groundwater influence. This study demonstrates that EMI surveys, shown here in combination with other high-resolution data capture, can detect rewetting effects when combined with neural network clustering and Multi-Cluster Average Standard Deviation analysis, highlighting its value for rapid site assessment. Moreover, the results underscore the importance of survey timing, as summer measurements provided clearer evidence of drain damming impact than winter measurements.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143940389","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}

Plant processes regulating the quantity and quality of soil organic carbon inputs such as photosynthesis, above- and below-ground plant growth, and root exudation are integral to our understanding of soil carbon dynamics. However, based on a bibliometric analysis including more than 55 000 scientific papers, we found that plant physiology has been severely underrepresented in global soil organic carbon research. Less than 10 % of peer-reviewed soil organic carbon research published in the last century addressed plant physiological processes relevant to soil carbon inputs. Similarly, plant physiology was overlooked by the overwhelming majority (>90 %) of the peer-reviewed literature investigating linkages between soil organic carbon, climate change, and land use and land management. These findings show that our understanding of both soil carbon dynamics and the carbon sequestration potential of terrestrial ecosystems is largely built on research that neglects the fundamental processes underlying organic carbon inputs. We maintain that the active engagement of plant scientists in soil carbon research is imperative for shedding light on this blind spot. Long-term interdisciplinary research will be essential for developing a comprehensive perspective of soil carbon dynamics and informing and designing effective policies that support soil carbon sequestration.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143910662","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}

As climate change will have an impact on both factors, it is essential to improve our knowledge, how, e.g., warming will modify carbon cycling in these environments to better prepare soil management for future conditions, even in alpine regions. This study investigates how warming and organic inputs affect SOM decomposition in alpine forest and pasture soils through a one-year laboratory incubation experiment. Soils were exposed to three temperatures (12.5 °C, 16.5 °C and 20.5 °C), with and without the addition of fresh grass litter. While higher temperatures accelerated decomposition, the availability of fresh organic matter played a more decisive role, especially in the lignin-rich forest soil. Without fresh litter, SOM decomposition was limited, suggesting that substrate availability in combination with temperature increase plays a greater role in microbial activity than temperature alone. The forest soil exhibited greater carbon loss than the pasture soil, most likely due to microbial communities that are adapted to lignin decomposition. These results suggest that rising temperatures combined with changes in vegetation and organic inputs could enhance SOM decomposition and potentially transform the alpine soils from carbon sinks to sources.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"221 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143884554","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 transfer of radiocaesium (137Cs) from soil to crops is the main long-term radiation risk after nuclear accidents. The prevailing concept is that 137Cs sorption in soil – and, hence, its bioavailability – is controlled by soil clay content (0–2 µm). This study tested this assumption using 24 soils collected worldwide. The radiocaesium interception potential (RIP), i.e., 137Cs adsorption, was measured for the bulk soils and for their clay and silt fractions. The RIP varied by a factor of 438 among soils and was unrelated to the clay content (p > 0.05). The RIP in the clay fractions was lowest for young volcanic soils with allophane and mica and for highly weathered tropical soils with kaolinite. In contrast, RIP values about 2 orders of magnitude higher were found in intermediate-weathered temperate soils dominated by illite. Soil RIP was, hence, related to soil illite content (R2= 0.50; p < 0.001). A significant fraction of soil RIP originated from clay minerals embedded in the silt fraction. The sum of RIP in clay and silt fractions overestimated the soil RIP by, on average, a factor of 2, indicating that the isolation of clay opens selective 137Cs sorption sites inaccessible in intact soils. Soil mineralogy, not just clay content, governs soil RIP. In terms of validity, existing 137Cs bioavailability models require recalibration for use on a global scale.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"272 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143884387","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 microbial fuel cell (MFC) is an efficient in situ approach to combat pollutants and generate electricity. This study constructed a soil MFC (SMFC) to reduce Cr(VI) in paddy soil and to investigate its influence on microbial community and microbial resistance characteristics. Ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, as the cathodic catalyst, effectively boosted power generation (0.97 V, 102.00 mW m−2), with the porous structure and reducibility also contributing to chromium (Cr) reduction and immobilization. After 30 d, 93.67 % of Cr(VI) was eliminated. The bioavailable Cr decreased by 97.44 %, while the residual form increased by 88.89 %. SMFC operations greatly changed soil enzymatic activity and microbial structure, with exoelectrogens like Desulfotomaculum (3.32 % in the anode) and Cr(VI)-reducing bacteria like Hydrogenophaga (2.07 % in the cathode) in more than 1000 folds of soil. In particular, SMFC operations significantly enhanced heavy-metal resistance gene (HRG) abundance. Among them, chrA, chrB, and chrR increased by 99.54 %–3314.34 % in SMFC anodes, probably attributable to the enrichment of potential tolerators like Acinetobacter, Limnohabitans, and Desulfotomaculum. These key taxa were positively correlated with HRGs but were negatively correlated with pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and Cr(VI), which could have driven Cr(VI) reduction. This study provided novel evidence for bio-electrochemical system applications in contaminated paddy soil, which could be a potential approach for environmental remediation and detoxification.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880788","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}

Improved management has been proposed to increase SOC stocks and overcome these challenges. However, the benefits of improved management practices in semi-arid regions are in question. Little is known about the effects of management on the functional components of SOC, particulate (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC), which are expected to respond differently, and about the pathways that mediate these responses, such as changes in vegetation and soil microbial communities. This work analyses the effect of rotational grazing, legumes sowing and grazing exclusion on topsoil SOC, POC and MAOC stocks in Mediterranean wooded grasslands compared to continuous conventional grazing. Changes in plant diversity and morpho-chemical traits, soil fertility and microbial composition were also evaluated. A total of 188 plots were sampled in 9 farms across a wide environmental gradient. More resource-acquisitive, nitrogen-rich and less lignified plant community, higher soil microbial biomass with lower Gram+/Gram- ratio, and higher soil fertility were associated with higher SOC storage, with similar impacts on POC and MAOC. Rotational grazing increased MAOC and total SOC stocks by 11 % compared to continuous grazing. This effect was mediated by an increase in soil fertility in the rotationally grazed paddocks. On the other hand, grazing exclusion reduced POC stocks by 12 % compared to continuous grazing. This depletion was mainly due to a reduction in microbial biomass and an increase in the C/N ratio of vegetation in non-grazed paddocks. Both POC and MAOC stocks tended to be lower at the warmer sites. We conclude that rotational grazing can enhance long-term SOC storage in semi-arid grasslands, thereby increasing their resilience and climate mitigation capacity, whereas abandoning grazing could lead to SOC losses.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866397","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}

Here, we investigated inorganic CDR and weathering rates by treating mesocosms planted with corn with basalt (0, 10, 30, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 t ha⁻¹) and monitoring them for 101 days. Surprisingly, we observed no significant inorganic CDR, as leaching of dissolved inorganic carbon did not increase, and soil carbonate content even declined over time. To gain insights into the weathering processes, we analyzed the mass balance of base cations, which can be linked with anions (including HCO₃^-) through charge balance. This mass balance showed that most base cation charges were retained as (hydr)oxides in the reducible pool of the top soil, while increases in the exchangeable pool were about a factor 10 smaller. Soil base cation scavenging exceeded plant scavenging by approximately two orders of magnitude. From the base cations in all pools (soil, soil water and plants), we quantified log weathering rates of -11 mol TA m^-2 basalt s^-1and a maximum CO₂removal potential of the weathered base cations (i.e., CDR potential) of 18 kg CO₂ t⁻¹ basalt. For climate change mitigation, not only the amount of CDR potential is important, but also the timescale at which that CDR would be realized. Our data suggests that the lag time for realization of inorganic CDR may be larger than commonly assumed. In conclusion, we observed that inorganic CDR was not directly linked to rock weathering in the short-term. Still, the observed increases in secondary minerals and base cation exchange may provide valuable benefits for soil fertility and organic matter stabilization in the long-term.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"234 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832511","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}

Compaction also affects vegetation growth, which, however, is often parameterized using only limited field measurements or relations with other variables. Our study shows that uncertainties in vegetation parameters linked to transpiration (leaf area index [LAI]) and water uptake (root depth distribution) can significantly affect hydrological modeling outcomes. We used the HYDRUS-1D soil water flow model to simulate the soil water balance of experimental grass plots on Belgian Campine Region’s sandy soil. The compacted plot has the compact subsoil at 40–55 cm depths while the non-compacted plot underwent de-compaction. Using two year soil moisture sensor data at two depths, we calibrated and validated our models of these compacted and non-compacted plots under three different vegetation parameterizations, reflecting various canopy and root growth reactions to compaction. We then simulated the water balances under future climate scenarios. Our experiments reveal that the compacted plots exhibited lower LAI while the non-compacted plots had deeper roots. Considering these vegetations’ reactions in models, our simulations show that compaction will not always reduce deep percolation, compensated by the deep rooted non-compacted case model’s higher evapotranspiration. Therefore, this affected vegetation growth can also further influence the water balance. Hence, hydrological modeling studies on (de-)compaction should dynamically incorporate vegetation growth above- and belowground, of which field evidence is vital.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143827665","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}

Quinton, Kara L. Webster, Philippe Van Cappellen","doi":"10.5194/soil-11-309-2025","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5194/soil-11-309-2025","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract. Impacts of nutrient enrichment on soil carbon cycling have been extensively studied in temperate and tropical regions where intensive agriculture and land development has led to large increases in anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P). However, how soil carbon sequestration and soil–atmosphere gas exchanges in cold regions respond to greater inputs of N and P remains poorly known despite recent observations showing significant increases in porewater N and P in burned subarctic peatlands and downstream waters. Wildfires and enhanced hydrological connectivity due to permafrost thaw therefore have the potential to change carbon turnover and gas emissions in the soils of northern peatlands. To start exploring the sensitivity of peatland soil biogeochemistry to variations in N and P availability, we measured the carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) production rates during a month-long incubation experiment with soils from a bog and fen collected at the long-term Scotty Creek research station in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Sub-samples of the peatland soils were divided into containers to which artificial porewater solutions were added. These solutions were amended with either dissolved inorganic N, dissolved inorganic P, or dissolved N and P together. Unamended controls were run in parallel. The containers were cycled through pre-set temperature steps of 1, 5, 15, and 25 °C. Overall, the fen soil yielded higher CO2 and CH4 production rates than the bog soil. The amendment of N in the bog soil produced more CO2 compared to its control, while the amendment of P increased CO2 production in the fen soil. The amendment of N and P together reduced CO2 production but increased that of CH4 in both the fen and bog soil incubations. Porewater chemistry at the end of the 30 d experiment showed aqueous C, N, and P stoichiometric ratios that trended toward those of the soil microbial biomasses, hence implying that the initial microbial nutrient status played a crucial role in determining the responses to the different nutrient amendments. Our results demonstrate that porewater nutrient availability and soil carbon cycling interact in complex ways to change CO2 and CH4 production rates in peatland soils, with potentially far-reaching implications for the impacts of wildfires and permafrost thaw on peatland–atmosphere carbon exchanges.","PeriodicalId":48610,"journal":{"name":"Soil","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143805730","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}
