Erosion [1] Top July 4, 2007 B
Soil [2] Top September 15, 2007 B 0.5 * From FAC: A notable omission is a section on the formation of soil (which I would put prior to the classification of soils); there is some information on this in soil in nature, but it gets mixed up with too much other stuff there. Something like this is what I would have expected. Comment September 08, 2006 by Peta.
  • References needed in the characteristics section. May, 2007.

Gleaned from the article talk page: (Paleorthid (talk) 00:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC))

  • Need more about how soil is important to the whole natural world, not just to us humans. Steve Dufour 13:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Readability is poor (several comments. This is a longstanding concern)
  • Broaden the scope of this article to include knowledge from the fields of geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics. Basar 01:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Expand on soil formation Basar 20:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Include additional aspects of biology, ecology and geology (and more references). Drillerguy 12:34, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Remove parts relating to other aspects of soil. Drillerguy 12:34, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

List of U.S. state soils [7] High December 6, 2007 B
Nitrogen cycle [8] High July 4, 2007 B Considerable editing is still needed. Needs improved prose, filling in important gaps on decomposition and units of mass on global scale, clean up references, expand context to better discuss drivers, persistence, effects, and influences. Needs work like all the biogeochemical cycle articles. Of these, carbon cycle looks to be in the best shape and may serve as a partial example of where to go with this article. -- Paleorthid 19:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)

swamp: A seasonally flooded bottomland with more woody plants than a marsh and better drainage than a bog.

marsh: An area of soft, wet, low-lying land, characterized by grassy vegetation and often forming a transition zone between water and land.

WPCD Article Assessment Back Links Importance Grade Tags Comments and Pending Tasks Assessed by
Nitrogen cycle November 18, 2006 <100 High B-Class None See below. Moved down as part of restructuring of worklist to assessment.
Nitrogen fixation December 6, 2006 <250 Medium Start None See below. Moved down as part of restructuring of worklist to assessment.
Nitrification June 9, 2006 <50 Low Start {{references}} See below. Moved down as part of restructuring of worklist to assessment.
Sand <1500 Medium Start None Needs assessment
Soil moisture June 9, 2006 <50 Medium Start {{references}} Barely out of stub. Needs wikify and cleanup. Expand to address moisture content versus moisture tension. Optimuum soil moisture differences by plant types, microbial perspective, other uses. Estimating moisture content by appearance and feel. Paleorthid
Soil salination September 5, 2006 <250 High Start {{references}} Barely out of stub. Needs wikify and cleanup. Types of saline conditions. Expand to electrical conductivity versus total salts. Critical soil salinity differences by plant types, microbial perspective, other uses. Consider move to soil salinity for consistent theme in article naming. Paleorthid
Soil pH June 9, 2006 <50 High Start {{cleanup}} {{references}} Suspect accuracy. Needs expert rewrite. Nutrient availability table needs key (blue=available) or to be replaced. Paleorthid
Soil profile June 9, 2006 <50 High Start None Complete but short. Can be expanded to include other horizons (E and R) as well as horizon modifiers. Other systems of soil profile description deserve mention. Differences in soil profile charateristics among soil types deserve mention. Paleorthid
Soils retrogression and degradation November 18, 2006 <50 Low B-class {{expert}} No editor of this article has actually read the cited reference. Someone needs to review the citation against the article. Paleorthid
Soil science June 9, 2006 <250 Top Start None Stub-like qualities abound. Needs cite.php references, image, wikify and cleanup. Restructure per soil science category structure and soils article. Move history to new article: History of Soil Science Paleorthid
Soil structure June 9, 2006 <50 Medium Start None Needs illus of each type. Each section needs to be expanded as to the conditions of formation and edaphic significance. Granular structure could be expanded into a new article on tilth (currently redirects to tillage - obviously a stopgap redirect). Paleorthid

Nitrification January 16, 2007 <50 Low Start {{references}} Test Needs cleanup, especially sectional structure. -- Paleorthid 01:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC) (comment)
Nitrogen cycle November 18, 2006 <100 High B-Class None Test Considerable editing is still needed. Needs improved prose, filling in important gaps on decomposition and units of mass on global scale, clean up references, expand context to better discuss drivers, persistence, effects, and influences. Needs work like all the biogeochemical cycle articles. Of these, carbon cycle looks to be in the best shape and may serve as a partial example of where to go with this article. -- Paleorthid 19:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC) (comment)
Nitrogen fixation December 06, 2006 <250 Medium Start None Test Cleanup rough content structure, especially in biological nitrogen fixation section. Discussion of history of understanding, first fixation on geologic timescale. Quantify contribution to nitrogen cycle, energy requirement for chemical fixation, energy source for biological fixation. -- Paleorthid 05:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC) (comment)
Soil ecology November 21, 2007 <20 High B-Class None Considerable editing is still needed. Needs improved prose. It has some gaps such as some treatment of characteristics in different environments, species diversity and on research approaches-innovations-advances. It needs editing for balance.
