Exploring soil pedogenesis through frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility in varied lithological environmentsNARA Subscribed
The use of percent frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility (χfd%) is well-established for detecting superparamagnetic (SP) components in fine-grained soils and sediments. This study employs χfd% as a direct indicator of pedogenetic processes in soils from the Moroccan Rif region. Three soil transects (T1, T2, and T3), each comprising four soil cores with depths reaching 100 to 120 cm, were sampled from distinct lithologica...
The use of green infrastructure (GI) in urban environments has been widely investigated for its associated ecosystem services including air pollution mitigation. Plants are well-known for their ability of purifying air through photosynthesis and microbial activities occurring in the rhizosphere, however the simple filtration of particulate matter in air by plants is still not well understood. This study aimed to investigate th...

Mathematical vs. machine learning models for particle size distribution in fragile soils of North-Western HimalayasNARA Subscribed
Purpose Particle size distribution (PSD) assessment, which affects all physical, chemical, biological, mineralogical, and geological properties of soil, is crucial for maintaining soil sustainability. It plays a vital role in ensuring appropriate land use, fertilizer management, crop selection, and conservation practices, especially in fragile soils such as those of the North-Western Himalayas. Materials and methods In this st...

Seasonal drivers of dissolved oxygen across a tidal creek–marsh interface revealed by machine learningNARA Subscribed
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is a key biogeochemical control in coastal systems, and its concentration and drivers vary markedly through time and space. This makes it difficult to accurately represent coastal DO and associated biogeochemical processes in models, limiting our ability to predict how these systems will respond to global change. We obtained high‐frequency (5‐min) in situ measurements of DO collected at three locations ac...
Effects of herbicides and mulch on the soil carbon, nitrogen, and microbial composition of two revegetated riparian zones over 3 yearsNARA Subscribed
Purpose Revegetation of riparian zones is important to improve their soil nitrogen (N) dynamics and to preserve their microbial compositions. However, the success of revegetation projects currently depends on weed control to reduce non-target vegetation competing over nutrients and to ensure the target plant species growth and survival. Different weed control methods affect soil microbial composition and N cycling. However, th...
This paper surveys the current state of knowledge regarding large-scale meteorological patterns (LSMPs) associated with short-duration (less than 1 week) extreme precipitation events over North America. In contrast to teleconnections, which are typically defined based on the characteristic spatial variations of a meteorological field or on the remote circulation response to a known forcing, LSMPs are defined relative to the oc...
