Sourced from the stated research gap and abstract and future-work section of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2025 and 2026, spanning 4 journals. Those papers have been cited 2 times in total.

Supporting evidence — 4 representative gaps

• The global response patterns of diurnal temperature range to soil moisture under different climatic backgrounds (2026) · Climate Dynamics · doi

  The paper does not explicitly state the research gap, but it investigates the relationship between soil moisture and diurnal temperature range under different climatic backgrounds. The study aims to explore the simple correlation between daily temperature range and soil moisture at the global scale.

• Respiration Dynamics and Thermal Sensitivity (Q10) in Rainfed Crops in Mediterranean Soils Under Different Tillage and Fertilization Systems (2026) · Agronomy · doi

  The lack of understanding of how tillage and fertilization affect soil respiration temperature sensitivity. The need to investigate the effects of soil management practices on soil water content and respiration dynamics. The gap in current research on the temporal dynamics of soil respiration and its relationship with soil moisture and temperature.

• “Land use is reliably predicted by soil burst respiration profiles” (2025) · Applied Soil Ecology · cited 2× · doi

  Studies examining soil respiration across land uses have been published for over 100 years, but few studies have examined how variability in rates of respiration during a test period could elucidate microbial responses to wet-dry events and connect them to land use.

• NMR-based characterization of soil-water characteristic curves considering volume change during drying-wetting cycles (2026) · Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment · doi

  Further research is needed to investigate the effect of multiple drying-wetting cycles on the soil behavior. The study of other types of soil and their behavior under different environmental conditions is necessary. Investigation of the effect of other factors such as temperature and humidity on the soil behavior is required.
