Spatiotemporal forecasting of surface soil moisture (SSM) is recognized as a critical scientific issue in precision agricultural irrigation, regional drought monitoring, and early warning systems for extreme precipitation. However, long-term forecasting continues to pose formidable challenges becaus…

Oasis soils in Tunisia are characterized by low soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, primarily due to their coarse texture and intensive irrigation practices. In the Gataaya Oasis, soils receive 3.000 to 4.000 L/m2 annually through submersion irrigation, leading to a rapid decline in SOC stocks. Despit…

In dryland ecosystems, nitrogen (N) is the primary limiting factor after water availability, constraining both plant productivity and organic matter decomposition while also regulating ecosystem function and service provision. However, the distributions of different soil N fraction stocks in dryland…

Understanding how different vegetation-based restoration practices alter soil chemical and microbial characteristics is crucial, as restoration practices influence phosphorus (P) transformation and fractions and modify P adsorption behavior during the restoration process of degraded land. This study…

Artificial cyanobacteria crusts are formed by inoculating soil with cyanobacteria. These crusts help prevent soil erosion and restore soil functionality in degraded croplands. However, how fast the artificial cyanobacteria crusts can be formed is a key issue before their practical application. In ad…

Abstract: Aeolian sandy soil in mining areas is characterized by intense evaporation and poor water retention capacity. This study was designed to identify a suitable biochar application method to improve soil water infiltration and minimize soil water evaporation for aeolian sandy soil. Using an in…
