Cereal root growth in a sandy soil with a hardsetting subsurface horizon was restricted only under dry conditions Open
Background and aims High soil strength that develops in sandy soils through compaction and hardsetting processes can severely restrict root growth, reducing access to limited resources. However, it is unclear how variation in soil moisture…

The synergy between Empodisma minus and microbial enzymes in carbon storage and nutrient turnover in the peatlands of K’gari (Fraser Island), Australia Open
Purpose The peatlands of K’gari (Fraser Island), Australia, are vital subtropical ecosystems supporting biodiversity and carbon storage. This study examines how the abundance of Empodisma minus and fire frequency affect microbial enzyme ac…

Soil carbon fractionation as a tool to monitor coastal wetland rehabilitation Open
Coastal wetland rehabilitation can provide nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation. The high carbon accumulation rate and carbon secured, potentially for several millennia, as soil organic carbon (SOC), is among the reasons. M…

Patterns of aeolian deposition in subtropical Australia through the last glacial and deglacial periods Open
Debate about the nature of climate and the magnitude of ecological change across Australia during the last glacial maximum (LGM; 26.5–19 ka) persists despite considerable research into the late Pleistocene. This is partly due to a lack of …

A Semi-Automated Object-Based Gully Networks Detection Using Different Machine Learning Models: A Case Study of Bowen Catchment, Queensland, Australia Open
Gully erosion is a dominant source of sediment and particulates to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) World Heritage area. We selected the Bowen catchment, a tributary of the Burdekin Basin, as our area of study; the region is associated with a …
View article: Collaborative involvement of woody plant roots and rhizosphere microorganisms in the formation of pedogenetic clays
Collaborative involvement of woody plant roots and rhizosphere microorganisms in the formation of pedogenetic clays Open
Background and Aims Previous studies have described the laying down of specific B horizons in south-western Australian ecosystems. This paper presents biomolecular, morphological and physicochemical analyses elucidating the roles of specif…
View article: Pyrolysis Temperature Effects on Biochar–Water Interactions and Application for Improved Water Holding Capacity in Vineyard Soils
Pyrolysis Temperature Effects on Biochar–Water Interactions and Application for Improved Water Holding Capacity in Vineyard Soils Open
Grapevine cane and stalks were considered for pyrolysis at 400 to 700 °C to produce biochar for increasing the water holding capacity of vineyard soil. Feedstocks were pyrolysed using a continuous feed reactor and the resulting biochars ch…

The potential for deep groundwater use by <span><i>Acacia papyrocarpa</i></span> (Western myall) in a water‐limited environment Open
Knowledge regarding the use of groundwater by plants has implications for successful mine rehabilitation and revegetation programs in water‐limited environments. In this study, we combined several approaches to investigate water sources us…
