Calibrated SoilOptix ® estimates of soil pH and exchangeable cations in three agricultural fields in western Canada – implications for managing spatially variable soil acidity Open
Spatial variability in soil pH is a major contributor to within-field variations in soil fertility and crop productivity. An improved understanding of the spatial variability of soil pH within agricultural fields is required to determine l…

Size-resolved distribution of trace elements in lysimeter soil solutions under contrasting long-term agricultural management to assess their bioavailability Open
The chemical species of trace elements (TEs) in agricultural soils is highly variable under diverse conditions, requiring tools with clear resolution and minimal disturbance for exploration. A novel surgical (316L) stainless steel (SS) lys…

Enhanced detection of freeze‒thaw induced landslides in Zhidoi county (Tibetan Plateau, China) with Google Earth Engine and image fusion Open
Freeze‒thaw induced landslides (FTILs) in grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau are a geological disaster leading to soil erosion. These landslides reduce biodiversity and intensify landscape fragmentation, which in turn are strengthen by the …

Assessment of soil health and identification of key soil health indicators for five long-term crop rotations with varying fertility management Open
Long-term agricultural management practices affect soil health, but identifying measurable soil properties that reflect soil health (soil health indicators – SHIs) is a challenge. Five long-term (>40 years) crop rotations with varying crop…

Size fractionation of dissolved (<0.45 µm) trace elements from extracted soil with water and CaCl2 using AF4-UV-ICPMS to predict their bioavailability Open
Dissolved (<0.45 µm) trace elements (TEs) represent the sum of free ions, simple complexes and colloid-associated forms which have different mobility and bioavailability in soils. The distribution of TEs amongst these chemical forms was di…

Spring barley yield and potential northward expansion under climate change in Canada Open
Spring barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.), being a cold‐tolerant crop, may not benefit as much from a warmer climate and a lengthening of the growing season due to climate change though its suitable production area could expand further north. Th…
