New mobile application for classifying soils using WRB 2015
The first mobile application for soil classification using World Reference
Base for Soil Resources (WRB) was released at the World Soil Congress in
Jeju (Republic of Korea) in 2014. The app worked under Android as the most
widely used operation system for mobile phones. The application was well
received by the soil science community, but also received some criticism
and suggestions for improvement. Thanks to the support of the IUSS Stimulus
Fund and Division 1 recently a new version of the application: this time it
is adapted for Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile platforms thus covering all
the mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets etc. The application leads
the user through the key for allocating soils in the reference groups, and
then inserting primary and secondary modifiers. At all stages the user can
reques t help t o consult the definitions of diagnostic horizons, materials
and properties. Compared to the application released in 2014, the new
version has several updates: it uses a significantly reworked text of WRB
2015; it allows returning, if a mistake occurred in the process of
classification, and the results can be saved. The three versions of the
application can be downloaded from the web site of the IUSS Commission 1.4
“Soil Classification” (version in English): https://sites.google.com/a/vt.
edu/iuss1-4_soil_classification/home/mobile-phone-apps
Simultaneously, a Russian version of the application was released; this
version is available at the Eurasian Soil Portal:

General NewsSoil Organic Carbon (SOC) Projections for Europe
This dataset consists of a number of data layers that are associated to the
peer-reviewed publication “Assessment of soil organic carbon stocks under
future climate and land cover changes in Europe” in “Science of The Total
Environment”. The layers cover the current SOC Stocks (2016) and the
projected SOC Stocks by 2050, for various Climate Scenarios (CCSM4,
HadGEM2-AO , IPSL-CM5A-LR MRI-CGCM3) and Representative Concentration
Pathways (RCPs). The model consists of two modules: The base module
predicts current soil organic carbon stocks at European scale using
regression-kriging and LUCAS topsoil data, and future module uses the
regression coefficients (precipitation, bioclimatic da tasets, Land Cover
2010, Soil physical attributes) and projects the estimated SOC stocks in
2050. Data based on various climate change scenarios are available in ESDAC.

Soils could release much more carbon than expected as climate warms
Soils could release much more CO2 than expected into the atmosphere as the
climate warms, according to new research by scientists from the Department
of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Their
findings are based on a field experiment that, for the first time, explored
what happens to organic carbon trapped in soil when all soil layers are
warmed, which in this case extend to a depth of 100 centimeters. The
scientists discovered that warming both the surface and deeper soil layers
at three experimental plots increased the plots’ annual release of CO2 by
34 to 37 percent over non-warmed soil. Much of the CO2 originated from
deeper layers, indicating that deeper stores of carbon are more sensitive
to warming than previously thought. They report their work online March 9
in the journal Scienc e.

New applications of near-infrared spectroscopy in crop and soil analysis
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), an analytical technique used for plant,
animal, and soil analysis, provides faster and cheaper results, reducing
laboratory costs by as much as 80%. This method correlates light reflected
from a sample with laboratory measurements of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus,
protein, fibre, or carbohydrate concentrations, among other tests. If the
target parameter of a new sample falls within the set used for calibration,
NIRS correlations can be applied to different spectrometers as well as
samples collected from different regions, states, and countries.

Selenium deficiency promoted by climate change
Selenium is an essential micronutrient obtained from dietary sources such
as cereals. The selenium content of foodstuffs largely depends on
concentrations in the soil: previous studies have shown that low selenium
concentrations are associated with high pH and oxygen availability and low
clay and soil organic carbon content. As a result of climate change,
concentrations of the trace element selenium in soils are likely to
decrease. Because the selenium content of crops may also be reduced, the
risk of selenium deficiency could be increased in many regions of the
world. This was shown by a recent study which used data-mining to model the
global distribution of selenium.

A crater formed in Siberia's permafrost is growing
Near the Yana river basin, in a vast area of permafrost, there is the
Batagaika crater. The crater is also known as a “megaslump” and it is the
largest of its kind: almost 0.6 miles (1km) long and 282ft (86m) deep. But
these figures will soon change, because it is growing quickly.
Looking at the layers exposed by the slump can give indications of how our
world once looked – of past climates. At the same time, the acceleration of
the growth gives an immediate insight into the impact of climate change on
the increasingly fragile permafrost.

Understanding the role of biodiversity in our soils
Soil Biodiversity encompasses a huge array of life on the planet. In some
cases, 5 tonnes of animal life can live in one hectare of soil. The variety
of soil biodiversity is also quite astounding ranging from bacteria, which
are from 1-100 μm in size (i.e. completely invisible to the eye) through to
the macrofauna which are on average 2 mm or larger in size and can be
easily seen, such as earthworms, ants, woodlice, centipedes etc. The size
of an organism is extremely important as this controls its life cycle and
its impact on the soil functions. While an individual bacterium is tiny, it
fits into minute spaces and there can be 3,000,000 to 500,000,000 bacteria
present in 1 g of soil. The role of soil biota in the soil is essential for
everyday functions and ecosystems services to take place such as water
filtration, nutrient cycling, organic matter breakdown, development of soil
st ructure, plant growth and pollination.

Risk assessment of plant protection products for in-soil organisms
Following a request from EFSA, the Panel on Plant Protection Products and
their Residues developed an opinion on the science behind the risk
assessment of plant protection products for in-soil organisms. The current
risk assessment scheme is reviewed, taking into account new regulatory
frameworks and scientific developments. Proposals are made for specific
protection goals for in-soil organisms being key drivers for relevant
ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes such as nutrient cycling,
soil structure, pest control and biodiversity.

Why nature restoration takes time
Soil organisms have an important role in aboveground community dynamics and
ecosystem functioning. However, most studies have considered soil biota as
a black box or focussed on specific groups, whereas little is known about
entire soil networks. With a consortium of colleagues from Europe, in the
EU-funded EcoFinders project, we show that during the course of nature
restoration on abandoned arable land a compositional shift in soil biota,
preceded by tightening of the belowground networks, corresponds with
enhanced efficiency of carbon uptake.

Conferences, Meetings and Workshops
Lunchtime Conference aiming at presenting “Healthy Soil for Healthy Food”,
winner of the ELO Soil and Land Award 2017
DG ENV – Room BU-5 00/B, 29 March 2017, 12:30 – 14:00. Soil and Land award
was launched in 2008 by the European Landowners’ Organization (ELO), under
the auspices of the European Commission (DG Environment and the Joint
Research Centre) and in association with the University of Natural
Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) of Vienna, Syngenta International AG,
and the Centre for Soil and Environmental Sciences of the Ljubljana
University. The objective is to recognize the great value of farmers’ work,
by promoting the winning project as a good land and sol sustainable
practice at the EU level and to enhance the visibility.
This year the prize winner is “Healthy Soil for Healthy Food”, aiming at
improving soil health and the capture and storage of atmospheric carbon
using conservation agriculture practices to build up soil organic matter.
The partnership between 59 Austrian farmers, SPAR, which is one of the
biggest food retailers in Austria, and WWF enhances future security for
both, the farmers and SPAR. The farmers get guaranteed sales and receive a
bonus per stored ton of CO2, improving their overall economic situation.
For SPAR, the supply of healthy and sustainable food to customers is
ensured and a contribution to climate change mitigation is made. Together,
the three stakeholders have an enormous power to influence food-related
patterns from production to consumption.

Biochar – A Guide to Analytical Methods
Edited by Balwant Singh, Marta Camps-Arbestain and Johannes Lehmann. March
2017 by CSIRO Publishing, 320 pages, 260 × 200 mm, ISBN: 9781486305094,
price paperback $ 99.95.
The first book to comprehensively describe analytical procedures and
techniques for biochar analysis. Interest in biochar among soil and
environment researchers has increased dramatically over the past decade.
Biochar initially attracted attention for its potential to improve soil
fertility and to uncouple the carbon cycle, by storing carbon from the
atmosphere in a form that can remain stable for hundreds to thousands of
years. Later it was found that biochar had applications in environmental
and water science, mining, microbial ecology and other fields. Biochar is
primarily intended for researchers, postgraduate students and practitioners
who require knowledge of biochar properties.
