<p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%">Many of
the ecological and economic functions of soil depend on properties like soil pH
and the extent of silicate weathering—and these properties in turn depend on
environmental state factors. Can state factors be used to develop quantitative
models for soil properties? We can answer this question by combining soil
profile databases with environmental maps and process-based models. For
instance, a global analysis of more than 60,000 observations reveals that soil
pH responds nonlinearly to climate, declining abruptly from an alkaline to an
acid equilibrium as precipitation begins to exceed evaporative demand. The
observations also suggest an important role for geologic state factors in determining
soil pH via their influence on weathering rates. While weathering rates are
challenging to estimate in-situ, databases of soil elemental abundance can be
used to quantify time-integrated weathering losses. Based on observations
across the USA, time-integrated weathering losses of Na depend jointly on
climate, parent material composition, relief, and landscape age. These factors
are sufficient for parameterizing simple physical models to simulate Na weathering
from soils globally. These results suggest that state factors can be used to
predict basic soil properties from first principles. By implication, state
factors might also be used to predict more complex aspects of soil
function—particularly the accumulation of soil organic carbon—and thus can help
us to better model the role of Earth’s soils in mediating biogeochemical
cycles.</span><span></span></span></font></p>

Environmental Isotope Systems group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
He received his PhD at University of California Santa Barbara in 2018. Eric
studies pedology, particularly the geography of soil properties at regional and
global scales. Eric also studies terrestrial biogeochemistry, exploring how
microbes and minerals mediate carbon and nutrient cycling in soils. He combines
field observation, laboratory experiments, and process-based models to conduct
his research. Eric’s current project evaluates the capacity of deeply rooted
perennial grasses to restore soil carbon in degraded agricultural lands across
the USA. In addition to research, Eric has a strong interest in environmental education,
particularly inquiry-based learning in the field.<span></span></span></font></p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">
