Humusica 1, article 4: terrestrial humus systems and forms: specific terms and Diagnostic Horizons
Applied Soil Ecology, 2018Co-Authors: Augusto Zanella, Bernard Jabiol, Giacomo Sartori, Rein De Waal, Jean-françois Ponge, Jean-michel Gobat, Eckart Kolb, Renée-claire Le Bayon, Michaël Aubert, Bas Van DelftAbstract:Knowledge of a little number of specific terms is necessary to investigate and describe humipedons. This “new vocabulary” allows individuating and circumscribing particular Diagnostic Horizons, which are the fundamental bricks of the humipedon. Few “components” defined by specific terms characterize a specific “humipedon horizon”; few “humipedon Horizons” compose a given “humus form” and some similar “humus forms” are grouped in a functional “humus system”. In this article, specific terms and humus Horizons are listed and explained one by one. Field difficulties are illustrated and resolved. The aim of the article is to present in a manner as simple as possible how to distinguish in the field the soil structures allowing a morpho-functional classification of terrestrial (aerated, not submerged) humipedons.

TerrHum: an iOS application for classifying terrestrial humipedons and some considerations about soil classification
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2019Co-Authors: A. Zanella, Bernard Jabiol, Jean-françois Ponge, K. Katzensteiner, G. Sartori, E. Kolb, R.-c. Le Bayon, M. Aubert, J. Ascher-jenull, M. EnglischAbstract:The name TerrHum is an abbreviation of the words “Terrestrial” (not hydromorphic, not submerged) and “Humipedon” (organic and organic-mineral humus Horizons). With this application, it is possible to describe and classify terrestrial forest and grassland topsoils in a system published as a Special Issue entitled “Humusica 1– Terrestrial Natural Humipedons” in the journal Applied Soil Ecology. The iOS application TerrHum allows the storage of the main content of Humusica 1 on a cellular phone. Images, diagrams and simplified tables of classification may be recalled with a few touches on the screen. Humus forms, representing five humus systems, are classified based on the vertical arrangement of Diagnostic Horizons and their attributes. TerrHum allows accessing specific figures that are stored in a virtual cloud and can be downloaded the first time the user recalls them. Once all figures have been opened in the device, the application is ready to use, without any further internet connection. The application is in continuous evolution.

Applied Soil Ecology, 2018Co-Authors: Augusto Zanella, Rein De Waal, Jean-françois Ponge, Andrea Vacca, Renée-claire Le Bayon, Jérôme Juilleret, Anna AndreettaAbstract:In this article, we present the Terrestrial intergrades from never or only few days submersed humipedons, without permanent hydromorphic signs, until humipedons with presence of signs of partial asphyxia. Specific terms are defined and Diagnostic Horizons illustrated, both with the help of text explanations and photographs. The article ends with a table working as a classification field key.

What does ‘lignoform’ really mean?
Applied Soil Ecology, 2018Co-Authors: Dylan Tatti, Jean-michel Gobat, Vincent Fatton, Luna Sartori, Renée-claire Le BayonAbstract:Abstract Among the many studies devoted to deadwood, very few have considered it in a broader ecosystemic context, especially in relation to the underlying humiferous topsoil. In order to fill this gap, we detail here the concept of lignoforms, humus forms strongly linked to deadwood and mostly ignored by humus forms specialists. After presenting the main characteristics of deadwood, the main actors involved in its life cycle and its important and varied roles in many ecosystems, we explain how to describe and study lignoforms. We also propose new Diagnostic Horizons for these particular humus forms, as well as a classification system, including an identification key (see Appendix A Identification key for lignoforms). Finally, we discuss some important issues pertinent to continuing to improve knowledge of these common but little studied humus forms.

Humusica 2, article 13: Para humus systems and forms
Applied Soil Ecology, 2018Co-Authors: Augusto Zanella, Jean-françois Ponge, Renée-claire Le Bayon, Jérôme Juilleret, Dylan Tatti, Ines Fritz, Nicole Pietrasiak, Magali Matteodo, Marina Nadporozhskaya, Lynn RothschildAbstract:Planet Earth is covered by very common Terrestrial (not submersed), Histic (peats) and Aqueous (tidal) humipedons. Beside these typical topsoils there are other more discrete humipedons, generated by the interaction of mineral matter with microorganisms, fungi and small plants (algae, lichens and mosses). In some cases roots and their symbionts can be a driving force of litter biotransformation, in other cases a large amount of decaying wood accommodates particular organisms which interfere with and change the normal process of litter decomposition. Particular microorganisms inhabit submerged sediments or extreme environments and can generate specialised humipedons with grey-black or even astonishingly flashing colours. We describe all these common but still unknown humipedons, defining Diagnostic Horizons and proposing a first morpho-functional classification, which still has to be improved. At the end of the article, the hypothesis of evolving and interconnected Cosmo, Aero, Hydro, Humi, Co, Litho and Geopedons (related to the microbiota) is formulated as a speculative curiosity.
