Embracing the dynamic nature of soil structure: A paradigm illuminating the role of life in critical zones of the Anthropocene

P. L. Sullivan et al.

Summary: Soils are crucial for regulating Earth system function, and understanding the dynamic nature of soil structure is essential for accurate land surface and ecosystem models. Four fundamental questions regarding soil structure need to be answered to predict changes in soil function.

Progress in understanding the hydrology of high-elevation Andean grasslands under changing land use

Giovanny M. Mosquera et al.

Summary: High-elevation grasslands play a crucial role in providing hydrological services, but research on the hydrological function of grasslands in montane regions is still limited. Most hydrological studies have focused on paramos in the Andean region, especially in Ecuador, while research on punas and jalcas is scarce.

Vegetation effects on soil pore structure and hydraulic properties in volcanic ash soils of the high Andes

Sebastian Paez-Bimos et al.

Summary: Soil hydraulic properties and pore structure are significantly influenced by vegetation types, with cushion-forming plants promoting higher water retention and saturated hydraulic conductivity. The topography has a minor effect on soil hydraulic properties. The findings highlight the importance of vegetation types for soil hydrology, as cushion-forming plants can enhance soil water storage and regulate water flows.

Characterizing solute budgets of a tropical Andean paramo ecosystem

Viviana Arizaga-Idrovo et al.

Summary: Monitoring solute fluxes in a pristine tropical Andean paramo catchment revealed potential threats to water quality. Analysis of 24 solutes showed that Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), Total Nitrogen bound (TNb), Si, Ca, Mg, K, and Na had the highest input and export rates.

Paola Montenegro-Diaz et al.

Summary: In high-altitude Andean grasslands, overgrazing leads to alterations in vegetation and microclimate. This study used an overgrazing experiment to identify the energetic recovery period for grass in the paramos and reveal the albedo as a good indicator of grass resilience.

Nano- to Global-Scale Uncertainties in Terrestrial Enhanced Weathering

Salvatore Calabrese et al.

Summary: Enhanced weathering (EW) is a sustainable negative emissions technology that can sequester CO2 through accelerated dissolution of silicate rocks. However, fundamental advances such as identifying suitable environmental conditions, improving estimates of field dissolution rates and efficacy of CO2 removal, and finding alternative sources need to be addressed before widespread adoption of EW.

Delineation of water flow paths in a tropical Andean headwater catchment with deep soils and permeable bedrock

Braulio Lahuatte et al.

Summary: This study investigates the stable isotopic composition of precipitation, soil water, wetlands, and streamflow to understand the hydrology of a tropical Andean catchment with deep and permeable volcanic soils. The findings show that subsurface flow paths are the main contributors to streamflow generation.

Modelling the effect of catena position and hydrology on soil chemical weathering

Vanesa Garcia-Gamero et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the link between topographic position and hydrology with the chemical weathering of soil profiles. The results showed that hydrological variables are better predictors of chemical weathering variability than the position along the catena alone. Additionally, the model results indicated that the chemical weathering of soil profiles increases up to a certain precipitation threshold and then decreases.

Near-surface water fluxes and their controls in a sloping heterogeneously layered volcanic soil beneath a supra-wet tropical montane cloud forest (NW Costa Rica)

Conrado Tobon et al.

Summary: Tropical montane cloud forests receive additional water inputs from fog and wind-driven rain, leading to high soil moisture levels that promote rapid subsurface flow. Despite covering 6.6% of remaining montane tropical forests, the hydrological functioning of TMCF hillslopes has rarely been studied.

Giuseppe Cipolla et al.

Summary: This study presents a dynamic mass balance model connecting biogeochemical and ecohydrological dynamics to shed light on the processes involved in Enhanced Weathering (EW). It focuses on the role of plants and hydrological fluctuations in influencing soil biogeochemical processes and EW dynamics, particularly with regards to the silicate mineral olivine.
