The Science of Soil: Using radionuclides to support soil conservation

Land degradation and soil erosion threaten agricultural productivity, food security and environmental sustainability. Because formation of new soil takes place over a period of thousands of years, in human terms it is essentially a finite resource. Human activity has accelerated erosion rates through inappropriate land management practices, most importantly soil sealing, deforestation and inten...

Soil phosphorus landscape models for precision soil conservation.

Phosphorus (P) enrichment in soils has been documented in the Santa Fe River watershed (SFRW, 3585 km) in north-central Florida. Yet the environmental factors that control P distribution in soils across the landscape, with potential contribution to water quality impairment, are not well understood. The main goal of this study was to develop soil-landscape P models to support a "precision soil c...
