Technosols, soils subjected to a strong human influence and containing significant amounts
of artefacts, are characteristic of the Anthropocene. In order to better apprehend their …

Theories and models used in soil hydrological sciences rely on the knowledge of the
spatially and temporally variable soil hydraulic properties, ie the water retention and …

Artifacts are objects> 2 mm, whereas microartifacts are 0.25–2.0 mm, in size that were
produced, modified, or transported from their source, by human activity. Artifacts are typically …

Soil classification systems are not consistent between countries or organizations thereby
hindering the communication and organizational functions they are intended to promote …

Abstract Purpose Constructed soils are Technosols resulting from the deliberate
combination of various artefacts. Similarly to natural soils, technogenic parent materials are …

The typically high lateral and vertical variation of urban soil properties challenges the
interpretation and prediction of their spatial patterns. The aim of this study was to investigate …

Soils formed in technogenic parent materials are proliferating, and their pedogenesis
remains inadequately understood. On investigation of soils formed in various technogenic …

The hydraulic properties of the topsoil control the partition of rainfall into infiltration and
runoff at the soil surface. They must be characterized for distributed hydrological modelling …

Phytoremediation is a type of bioremediation process that involves the use of plants to
remove or degrade contaminants from soil, water, or air. In most of the observed …

Purpose This review focuses on what are referred to as “anthropogenic soils”(AS). It
investigates and clarifies their descriptions, definitions, and classifications in terms of the …
