Heavy metal (loid) s and organic contaminants are two major groups of pollutants in soils.
The fate and exposure of such pollutants in soil depends on their chemical properties …

Soil is the central interface of Earth's critical zone—the planetary surface layer extending
from unaltered bedrock to the vegetation canopy—and is under intense pressure from …

Subsoils are known to harbor large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) and may
represent key global carbon (C) sinks given appropriate management. Although …

Traditional hydrological theories are based on the assumption that soil is key in determining
water's fate in the hydrological cycle. According to these theories, soil hydraulic properties …

The root zone is a vital part of the Earth system and a key element in hydrology, ecology,
agronomy, and land surface processes. However, its definition varies across disciplines …

Granitic weathering profiles display highly diverse morphologies, reflecting the complex
relationships between climate and weathering rates. Some profiles exhibit abrupt transitions …

DOC and nitrate in farmland represent key chemical species that determine the water quality
in the Karst Critical Zone (KCZ). The work reported here focuses on quantifying fluxes of …

The idea that soil or the pedosphere is connected to the other terrestrial spheres dates back
at least to 1880. Some 26 years later, the interdependency of the terrestrial spheres was …

The original meaning of the Critical Zone (CZ) was spatial and pointed to one physical
referent: the terrestrial surface of the entire Earth. As usage increased among researchers in …
