    Abstract PURPOSE: To remain relevant in a changing world, soil survey and soil science need to look beyond the traditional to urban applications. Urban and suburban areas generally have the highest population densities and land values and arguably the greatest need for the ecosystem services that soil can provide. The urban environment poses a distinctive set of challenges for soil scientists. The description, classification, and mapping of soils in human-altered and human-transported materials is the charge of the field soil scientist, extending above and beyond the urban setting. Environmental professionals, planners, educators, and students in urban areas are often unfamiliar with soil survey and soil science in general. This paper discusses a successful approach to establishing a soil survey or soil science program in the urban community. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For over 20 years, the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) and the New York City Soil and Water Conservation District (NYCSWCD) have conducted a soil survey program in New York City, producing multiple soil surveys at different scales, culminating in a 1:12000 scale survey posted on the Web Soil Survey site in 2014. The multifaceted program has also included onsite investigations, research projects, and an education and outreach component including lectures, training sessions, and workshops, as well as volunteer and internship opportunities. New and innovative approaches in soil survey methods, product design and delivery, and outreach have been used, as appropriate, to best fit the needs of the urban environment. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The NYC Soil Survey program has built a succession of partnerships with government agencies, colleges, universities, and community and commercial groups, resulting in a variety of products and services to meet local soil science needs. Over time, the program has successfully been able to raise awareness of soil science in the urban environment, establish a USDA-NRCS presence in the City, and provide useful soil information to an underserved segment of the population. CONCLUSIONS: Making the local connection, listening to local needs, offering a multifaceted and wide array of soil science-related services, exploring innovative approaches, and creating partnerships have shown to be successful components of establishing a soil survey program in the urban environment.

    Abstract Pesticides containing lead and arsenic were widely used in the US through the 20th century. Legacy contamination from this use poses a health risk as interest in cultivation of abandoned agricultural lands has grown in recent years. We addressed these risks by quantifying Pb and As in soils and produce from a suburban farm in New Jersey, USA and examining the ability of phosphate-bearing amendments (bone meal, triple super phosphate, manure compost and raised bed soil) in combination with Fe and/or Mn amendments to stabilize these metals and prevent their movement into vegetables. Common produce (tomato, carrot, lettuce, and radish) was grown in soils with 133–307 mg Pb kg−1 and 19–73 mg As kg−1. Our results suggest that vegetables produced on these soils can have Pb and As at levels above health and safety standards, especially root and leafy green vegetables. Phosphate-bearing amendments can reduce extractable Pb but can increase extractable As in soils, and can have similar effects on vegetables. Iron amendment increased both extractable Pb and As, likely due to the presence of elemental sulfur in the Fe amendment, which lowered soil pH, while Mn amendment had the opposite effect. Most of the Pb and As in vegetables appear to be associated with soil particles adhered to the vegetables, and the contribution from uptake was relatively small except for plots treated with Fe-amendments and for carrots. Thus, proper crop selection, rigorous cleaning, and dust and dirt control are critical to reduce the risk of contaminant exposure through the consumption of garden produce.

    Abstract PURPOSE: Journal of Soils and Sediments publishes the main outcomes of SUITMA 9 Conference in its Special Issue. SUITMA (Soils of Urban, Industrial, Traffic, Mining and Military Areas) working group organizes conferences biannually all over the world. The ninth conference organized in Moscow in May 2017 involved more than 215 speakers from 25 countries, whose presentations focused on challenges and opportunities of urbanization for soil functions and ecosystem services. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The main outcomes of SUITMA 9 were analyzed in comparison to the previous SUIMTA conferences and the main topics were distinguished. Manuscripts accepted for publishing in the Special Issue were reviewed and presented. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Comparison of the topics highlighted in different special issues highlighted the evolution of the SUITMA studies from fundamental morphological descriptions and classifications to applied studies on soil engineering, assessment of SUITMA functions and ecosystem services. CONCLUSIONS: The manuscripts accepted to the Special Issue covered included various case studies of SUITMA ecosystem services (e.g. global and local climate regulation, biodiversity maintenance and improvement, nutrients balance and recreation) and disservices (e.g. pollution by heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and sulfur). The increasing role of SUITMA studies for urban management and decision making was concluded.

    Abstract In cities, the strong heterogeneity of soils, added to the lack of standardized assessment methods, serves as a barrier to the estimation of their soil organic carbon content (SOC), soil organic carbon stocks (SOCS; kgC m−2) and soil organic carbon citywide totals (SOCCT; kgC). Are urban soils, even the subsoils and sealed soils, contributing to the global stock of C? To address this question, the SOCS and SOCCT of two cities, New York City (NYC) and Paris, were compared. In NYC, soil samples were collected with a pedological standardized method to 1 m depth. The bulk density (Db) was measured; SOC and SOCS were calculated for 0–30 cm and 30–100 cm depths in open (unsealed) soils and sealed soils. In Paris, the samples were collected for 0–30 cm depth in open soils and sealed soils by different sampling methods. If SOC was measured, Db had to be estimated using pedotransfer functions (PTFs) refitted from the literature on NYC data; hence, SOCS was estimated. Globally, SOCS for open soils were not significantly different between both cities (11.3 ± 11.5 kgC m−2 in NYC; 9.9 ± 3.9 kgC m−2 in Paris). Nevertheless, SOCS was lower in sealed soils (2.9 ± 2.6 kgC m−2 in NYC and 3.4 ± 1.2 kgC m−2 in Paris). The SOCCT was similar between both cities for 0–30 cm (3.8 TgC in NYC and 3.5 TgC in Paris) and was also significant for the 30–100 cm layer in NYC (5.8 TgC). A comparison with estimated SOCCT in agricultural and forest soils demonstrated that the city's open soils represent important pools of organic carbon (respectively 110.4% and 44.5% more C in NYC and Paris than in agricultural soils, for 0–30 cm depth). That was mainly observable for the 1 m depth (146.6% more C in NYC than in agricultural soils). The methodology to assess urban SOCS was also discussed.
