  • Does soil thinning change soil erodibility? An exploration of long-term erosion feedback systems 
    Batista, Pedro V. G.; Evans, Daniel L.; Cândido, Bernardo M.; Fiener, Peter (EGU: European Geophysical Union, 2023-01-23)
    Soil erosion rates on arable land frequently exceed the pace at which new soil is formed. This imbalance leads to soil thinning (i.e. truncation), whereby subsoil horizons and their underlying parent material become ...

    The ability for urban ecosystems to deliver provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services is vital for the health, sustainability, and resilience of urban environments. The increasing pressures being placed ...
  • Engagement with urban soils part I: applying Maya soil connectivity practices to intergenerational planning for urban sustainability 
    Vis, Benjamin N.; Evans, Daniel L.; Graham, Elizabeth (MDPI, 2023-04-15)
    Urban soil security depends on the means and social practices that enable multiple generations to maintain and improve soil resources. Soils are pivotal to urban sustainability yet seem absent from international planning ...
  • Engagement with urban soils part II: starting points for sustainable urban planning guidelines derived from Maya soil connectivity 
    Vis, Benjamin N.; Evans, Daniel L.; Graham, Elizabeth (MDPI, 2023-04-15)
    Using the Precolumbian lowland Maya model of urban soil connectivity discussed in Part I, we review how soil connectivity can transition into urban planning policy and, by extension, could ultimately become codified as ...
  • Feedbacks between water erosion and soil thinning 
    Batista, Pedro; Evans, Daniel L.; Cândido, Bernardo; Fiener, Peter (EGU: European Geophysical Union, 2022-05-27)
    Soil erosion rates frequently exceed the pace at which new soil is formed. This imbalance can lead to soil thinning (i.e., truncation) whereby subsoil horizons, and the underlying parent material, emerge progressively ...
  • Going Platinum: The European Journal of Soil Science at 75 
    Dungait, Jennifer A. J.; Evans, Daniel L.; Farrell, Mark; He, Hailong; Heuvelink, Gerard B. M.; Schmidt, Olaf (Wiley, 2024-03-31)
    The European Journal of Soil Science (EJSS) is published by Wiley on behalf of the British Society of Soil Science (BSSS) to fulfil its original mission to ‘publish an annual publication’. The Journal for Soil Science ...
  • How much food can we grow in urban areas? Food production and crop yields of urban agriculture: a meta-analysis 
    Payen, Florian Thomas; Evans, Daniel L.; Falagán, Natalia; Hardman, Charlotte A.; Kourmpetli, Sofia; Liu, Lingxuan; Marshall, Rachel; Mead, Bethan R.; Davies, Jessica A. C. (American Geophysical Union (AGU) - Wiley, 2022-08-23)
    Urban agriculture can contribute to food security, food system resilience and sustainability at the city level. Whilst studies have examined urban agricultural productivity, we lack systemic knowledge of how agricultural ...
  • How the composition of sandstone matrices affects rates of soil formation 
    Evans, Daniel L.; Quinton, John Norman; Tye, A. M.; Rodés, Á.; Rushton, J. C.; Davies, J. A. C.; Mudd, S. M. (Elsevier, 2021-07-10)
    Soils deliver multiple ecosystem services and their long-term sustainability is fundamentally controlled by the rates at which they form and erode. Our knowledge and understanding of soil formation is not commensurate with ...
