In this study, the performance of 63 existing pedotransfer functions (PTFs) is evaluated to
estimate oven-dry soil bulk density (BD) by using a dataset of 3316 soil cores taken in the …

Oven-dry soil bulk density (BD) is a key soil parameter in biophysical models. Yet, its direct
determination for large-scale modeling applications is limited by excessive efforts required …

Large uncertainties in global carbon (C) budgets stem from soil carbon estimates and
associated challenges in distributing soil organic carbon (SOC) at local to landscape scales …

In terrestrial biosphere, soil represents the largest organic carbon pool, and a small change
of soil organic carbon (SOC) can significantly affect the global carbon cycle and climate …

The rarity of rapid campaigns to characterize soils across scales limits opportunities to
investigate variation in soil carbon stocks (SOC) storage simultaneously at large and small …

In soil organic carbon (SOC) survey, the role of sampling approach is crucial and should not
be underestimated. In this sense, the appropriateness of soil sampling by pedogenic …

Soil bulk density (BD) serves as a fundamental indicator of soil health and quality, exerting a
significant influence on critical factors such as plant growth, nutrient availability, and water …

It is of great significance to study the spatial differentiation of surface gravel in northern Tibet
Plateau for regional ecological environment restoration. In this paper, the particle size and …

Legacy soil datasets are a valuable resource and should be used to the greatest extent
possible. However, such datasets may be incomplete, and lack observations for every …

Sample collection and measurement of soil bulk density (BD) are often labor-intensive and
expensive in large regions. Conversely, soil spectra are easy to measure and facilitate BD …
