Winegrowers' Perceptions and Adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices and Technologies: A Case Study in Piedmont, Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

Precision planter monitoring system based on mobile communication network

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Sowing is an important link in agricultural production and the basis for ensuring high yields and bumper harvests. Agriculture requires precision plows with good performance and stable work. However, the seeding process is in a completely closed state, and the operator relies mainly on experience to judge the operating state and performance of

Assessing Soil and Management Quality Indexes in A Rural Watershed Under Long‐Term No‐Tillage in Southern Brazil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil quality assessment is essential to detect management failures and prevent land degradation in agricultural systems. No‐tillage system (NTS) is a conservation management widely adopted in Brazil, but its effectiveness is compromised when adherence to the core principles of crop rotation and ground cover is not complete, and basic ...

Nitrogen‐Fixing Woody Plants Sequester More Soil Mineral‐Associated Carbon and Lose Less Particulate Carbon Than Herbs Post Vegetation Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dividing soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate (POC) and mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for understanding the formation, persistence, and functions of soil carbon. However, current understanding of the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC following vegetation restoration remains unclear.

Integrating Multiple Approaches to Reveal the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Soil Erosion in Mollisol Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although numerous prediction methods have been developed, scientific estimation of the spatiotemporal pattern of soil erosion at the watershed scale remains challenging. In this study, fallout radionuclides of 210Pbex and 137Cs were used to estimate average annual soil erosion and deposition in a Mollisol watershed in Northeast China ...

Effects of Landscape Pattern on Spatial Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon Content in a Typical Lakeside Oasis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of the factors influencing the spatial distribution of farmland soil organic carbon (SOC) content contributes to a better understanding of human impacts on soil, which is crucial for improving soil quality and mitigating climate change.

Cereal‐Legume Rotation Benefits Soil Ecosystem Multifunctionality by Improving the Efficiency of Microbial Carbon Pump

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cereal‐legume rotation is regarded as an important agricultural management strategy for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving soil ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) exerts a regulatory effect on the production of microbial necromass as well as the SOC accumulation.

Carbon‐Fixing Bacterial Network Complexity Mediates Soil Multifunctionality in a Panax notoginseng‐Pinus armandii Agroforestry System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autotrophic carbon‐fixing bacteria (CFB) are central contributors to soil carbon sequestration and biogeochemical carbon cycling in agroforestry ecosystems and can act as reliable biological indicators for evaluating agroforestry ecosystem sustainability.
