Sourced from the stated research gap and future-work section and abstract and conclusions of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2009 and 2026, spanning 6 journals. Those papers have been cited 44 times in total.

Supporting evidence — 6 representative gaps

• SOIL AND ITS CONSTITUTING ELEMENTS FOR PLANT GROWTH: SIGNIFICANT OUTCOMES (2024) · International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Bioresearch · doi

  The intensification of land use led to unforeseen challenges, prompting researchers to explore alternative crop cultivation methods. There is a need to understand the bond between soil constituents and plant growth.

• Application of machine learning to improve reanalysis soil temperatures over the extratropical northern hemisphere (2026) · Theoretical and Applied Climatology · doi

  Reanalysis products have substantial biases in soil temperature estimates, particularly in winter. The availability of in-situ soil temperature records is limited, particularly over permafrost regions.

• Spatial variability and GIS-based mapping of soil chemical properties in the Chambal region, Madhya Pradesh (2026) · Plant Science Today · doi

  Further studies can investigate the relationships between soil properties and crop yields. The use of other spatial interpolation techniques, such as kriging, can be explored.

• A Top-Down Approach to the State Factor Paradigm for Use in Macroscale Soil Analysis (2009) · Annals of the Association of American Geographers · cited 19× · doi

  Although many macroscale soil maps suggest strong relationships between soil properties and climate, few studies have explicitly demonstrated those relationships using unclassified point observations.

• Soil Property Plays a Vital Role in Vegetation Drought Recovery in Karst Region of Southwest China (2021) · Journal of Geophysical Research Biogeosciences · cited 25× · doi

  However, the effects of the soil properties, beyond the climate variations, on the vegetation postdrought recovery are often overlooked and remain unknown.

• Can a history of crop rotations improve the prediction of soil organic carbon in the Andes? integrating machine learning multi-annual crop classification as a proxy of soil management (2026) · PLoS ONE · doi

  These results suggest that although soil properties remain indispensable, crop rotation and climate variables provide complementary information—particularly in contexts where soil data are limited or costly to obtain.
