Groundwater is by far the largest unfrozen freshwater resource on the planet. It plays a
critical role as the bottom of the hydrologic cycle, redistributing water in the subsurface and …

Much work has been undertaken quantifying the abundance of phyllosilicate clay minerals
in soils, sediments and rocks of Earth's crust. However, no detailed global compilation of …

In recent years, significant efforts have been made to upgrade physical processes in the
ISBA‐CTRIP land surface system for use in fully coupled climate studies using the new …

To sustain growing food demand and increasing standard of living, global water withdrawal
and consumptive water use have been increasing rapidly. To analyze the human …

Lithology describes the geochemical, mineralogical, and physical properties of rocks. It
plays a key role in many processes at the Earth surface, especially the fluxes of matter to …

Nitrogen availability is a pivotal control on terrestrial carbon sequestration and global
climate change. Historical and contemporary views assume that nitrogen enters Earth's land …

Deltas are resource rich, low-lying areas where vulnerability toflooding is exacerbated by
natural and anthropogenically induced subsidence and geocentric sea-level rise …

Surface fresh water (ie, blue water) is a vital and indispensable resource for human water
use in the agricultural, industrial, and domestic sectors. In this paper, global water …

Data and computer simulations are reviewed to help better define the timing and magnitude
of human influence on sediment flux—the Anthropocene epoch. Impacts on the Earth …

In recent decades farmers in high-income countries and China and India have built up a
large reserve of residual soil P in cropland. This reserve can now be used by crops, and in …
