Advancements in Soil Classification: Exploring the SC7 and SC10 Lithology Systems

1. Introduction to Lithology Classifications Lithology, in the field of geology, refers to the physical characteristics and composition of rocks and sediments. It plays a critical role in understanding the geologic history, formation processes, and properties of the Earth’s crust. Lithology classifications provide a systematic approach to categorizing and describing different types of rocks and

Quantifying Organic Material Content in SoilGrids: A Methodological Approach for Layer-wise Percentage Derivation

Understanding SoilGrids and Organic Content SoilGrids is a valuable resource for researchers, agronomists, and environmental scientists seeking to understand the properties and composition of soils around the world. A critical parameter in soil analysis is organic matter content, which provides insight into soil fertility, carbon sequestration potential, and overall soil health. In this article, we

Exploring the Viability of Using Building Gypsum as a Soil Amendment

Gypsum, commonly used in construction, is a mineral compound consisting of calcium, sulfur, and oxygen. It is used as a binder in building materials such as plaster, drywall, and cement. Recently, there has been increased interest in using building gypsum as a soil amendment due to its potential benefits for soil health and plant growth.

Uncovering Geochemical Thresholds for Potentially Toxic Elements in Spanish Soils

Soil contamination is a significant environmental problem, and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are among the most hazardous contaminants in soil. PTEs are elements that, when present in soil at high concentrations, can have adverse effects on human health and the environment. Spain is one of the largest agricultural producers in Europe and PTE contamination in
