Presentation of the principles of design from five decades of national soil monitoring
Machine learning used to identify habitat and soil organic matter as promising predictors of porosity
Analytical model presented for calculating porosity as a function of soil organic matter
We present topsoil physicochemical properties from ~1350 sites across Wales and identify soil health classes.
Soil textural heterogeneity is linked to bacterial richness, and textural composition is linked to bacterial and fungal composition.
Surface soil water repellency is related to the ecological communities at a site.
