***NEW*** Soil Compaction and Traffic Intensity Influence Microbial Activity and Diversity in Controlled and Non-Controlled Traffic Farming Systems Javoreková, Maková, Artimová, Galambošová, Macák, Rataj, Antille & Medo #soil #soilscience @wileyecology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/sum....

Distribution of bacterial phyla in the topsoil layer of 0.15 m, with different intensities of passes (treatments A, B, C, D) during the period of 2020–2022. Treatment A—Permanent crop beds (zero-traffic) of the controlled traffic farming (CTF) system; Treatment B—One machine pass per year, representing a low traffic intensity scenario of a non-controlled traffic farming system (non-CTF); Treatment C—Permanent traffic lanes of the CTF system; and Treatment D—Multiple machine passes per year, representing a high traffic intensity scenario of a non-CTF system.

Conceptual figure illustrating how soil management and site-inherent pedo-climatic context are assumed to directly and indirectly affect soil physical properties. Indirect effects of soil management and pedo-climatic context on the physical properties were assumed to be mediated by the moderators (earthworm abundance, SOC, BD).

***NEW*** #OpenAccess Assessing Soil Indicator Practices: Determinants and Variations Among Australian Farmers Chadha, Robinson, Ollerenshaw & Larkins #soil #soilscience doi.org/10.1111/sum....

Soil indicators play a crucial role in assessing soil performance and guiding sustainable land management practices by providing insights into soil health and quality. This study conducted by a team from Federation University Australia examined Australian farmers' knowledge of fixed soil properties, the types of chemical, physical, biological and observational indicators used, and the reasons for their choice of indicators. Observational assessments, including paddock walks and plant growth, were the most frequently used indicators. Farmers primarily chose indicators based on their relevance to production decisions and ease of assessment, with grain farmers more likely to follow agronomist recommendations and select indicators suited to their enterprise.

***NEW PAPER*** #OpenAccess Comparing Soil Organic Carbon Stock Estimation Methods for Agricultural Stony Soils in Ireland: A Regression-Based Approach Bondi, Ferrari, Daly, Schillaci, Lanigan & Fenton @teagasc.bsky.social @ofenton.bsky.social #soil #soilscience doi.org/10.1111/sum....

This study from Teagasc and University College Dublin compared two soil organic carbon (SOC) stock assessment methods, Equivalent Soil Mass (ESM) and Fixed Depth (FD), using 1184 soil samples spatially distributed in the southeast of Ireland. A linear regression model incorporating stoniness and depth was developed to improve ESM-based estimations. Results indicate that ESM, when adjusted for these factors, provides a reliable estimate of SOC stocks and can substitute FD under most conditions. Given its ease of implementation compared to FD and its ability to capture landscape variability, ESM is recommended for large-scale SOC monitoring. However, a hybrid approach may be needed in soils with extreme stoniness. These findings support integrating ESM into national carbon monitoring frameworks to enhance the accuracy of national SOC inventories.

Mean weight diameter (MWD) for the different age categories at two soil depths. Letters indicate significant differences within each depth (Tukey HSD, p < 0.05). The Age × Depth interaction was significant (χ2 = 42.88, p < 0.001), indicating age effects between depths. At 0–15 cm, pasture (a) differed significantly from 81 to 160-year woodlands (b); groups sharing letters (ab) did not differ significantly from either. At 15–30 cm, no significant pairwise differences were detected (all groups share letter ‘a’). The violin plots show the probability density of the data; overlaid box plots display the median and interquartile range.

***NEW*** #OpenAccess Modelling of Soil Multifunctionality Across Europe Wadoux, Debeljak, Lagacherie & Creamer @rachelcreamer.bsky.social @sbl-wur.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/sum....

Alpha (left) and beta (right)-multifunctionality. Alpha-multifunctionality is measured by the inverse of the Simpson's diversity index and represents the diversity of soil function supply at the LUCAS locations. Beta-multifunctionality is measured by the total-based dissimilarity between all sites within the NUTS3 region and the LUCAS point. The colours for beta show the unique supply of soil function relative to the NUTS3 supply of functions, between one and five functions. The colours indicate the number of functions supplied at a high level, between one and five functions. The background colour refers to the environmental zones of Metzger et al. (2012).
