Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

I'm really rooting for the Stanford University researchers working on this carbon removal method. They've found a way to ...

Soil is fundamental to all life on earth ... farmers using cover crops reported that their land weathered heavy spring winter rains better than their neighbors’ land. Knorr, Unilever’s ...

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel ... When the glacier begins to melt, it deposits its cargo of soil and rock, transporting the rocky debris toward the sea. Every year, rivers deposit millions ...

All plants require 17 elements to complete their life cycle, and an additional four elements have been identified as essential for some plants (Havlin et al. 2005). With the exception of C, H, and ...

Table 1: Common salts found in saline soils. Soils are naturally composed of inorganic minerals, including primary minerals (e.g., quartz, micas, or feldspars) and their weathering products, including ...

Chemical reactions that control soil formation and weathering reactions occur almost exclusively in liquid water (Lindsay 1979). Physically, water is the diffusive medium that mediates the ...

Managing soil pH is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of soil health and crop productivity, says Marla Riekman, a land ...

When European-American settlers first began ploughing in Iowa, they found the weather and local geology had combined this organic mulch with sand and silt to form a nutrient-rich type of soil ...
