“…Most of the studied cases present different degrees of cracking, which allows to explore the roots of a permanent crop like vineyards. This exploration, with access to moisture in deep horizons (Pérez‐de‐los‐Reyes et al, 2021), improves vineyard performance in an arid climate (annual rainfall around 400 mm), which is the case of the study area.…”

Many vineyard soils in semiarid Mediterranean environments develop from carbonated materials and often show very diverse forms of pedogenic Ca‐carbonate accumulations. Based on 275 vineyard soil profiles in the Castilla La Mancha (CLM) territory (Spain), this paper presents an in‐depth comprehensive study of a large number of morphological expressions of these carbonate distributions, while exploring various pedogenesis formation hypotheses. The interactions among the calcareous nature of parent material, surface topography and climate are the factors that most affected their morphology and pedogenesis. The occurrence and distribution of carbonate features in CLM vineyard soils can be more complex than other areas. Many accumulations are relatively ancient, which is the case of petrocalcic horizons, and in‐keeping with conservative means, which reveals the occurrence of successive carbonate accumulation cycles. More recently dissolved and precipitated seasonally pedogenic carbonates (sometimes as coatings) have appeared, which are nothing more than a simple recent redistribution of carbonates. A structural imprint is observed: pedogenic carbonates appeared much more abundantly on the lowermost horizons, which can be related to the repeated redistribution phases that occurred in different pedogenesis stages. The data provided herein help to understand the nature of viticultural calcareous soils in semiarid Mediterranean regions.

The Gannan Water Conservation area is an indispensable part of the ecological barrier on the Tibetan Plateau and is a key ecological area for the water supply. Exploring the coupled coordination relationship between vegetation and soil contributes to the conservation and planning of the natural environment. In this study, soil water conservation function (SWCF) was investigated with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data in the Gannan Water Conservation Area at the source of the Yellow River, and the spatiotemporal coupling relationship between the SWCF and vegetation was explored. Meanwhile, their responses to topographic and climatic factors were investigated with structural equation models. The main results indicated that the coupling coordination degree (DVS) in the soil depth was in a barely coordinated state, with 0–10 cm > 20–30 cm > 10–20 cm, showing that the area proportion of ‘Basic balanced–Synchronous development of VEG and SWCF’ was the highest, and the spatial aggregation feature was obvious. As the gradient of topographic factors varied, the coupling coordination also varied at various soil depths. Meanwhile, the absolute values of the correlation coefficients of the temperature and precipitation with the coupling coordination were the highest at 20–30 cm compared to the other soil depths, demonstrating that the effect was more significant in deeper soils than in shallower ones. Furthermore, the path coefficients of the topographic factors were larger than those of the climatic factors in the 10–20 cm and 20–30 cm layers, while the opposite was true in the 0–10 cm layer. In general, the vegetation conditions and water conservation function of soil in the source area of the Yellow River are basically developing synchronously, and the topographic factor is the key factor for the geographical difference in the coupling relationship between the two factors.
