Effects of afforestation on Technosol properties in reclaimed hard coal deep mining spoil heaps [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Mining for fossil fuels and minerals generates spoil heaps and open pits, which have significant environmental impacts in addition to their economic contributions. Afforestation of these disturbed areas can improve soil properties, thereby increasing the

Agricultural and Biological Engineering / Eco-Hydrology - Purdue University

open access: gold, 2011
The study of the impacts of sub-surface drainage where land use has recently changed from the production of commodity crops to bio-feed stocks is the focus in this data curation profile. The graduate student researcher’s overarching goal for the research is to test the theory that producing bio-feed stocks generates environmental benefits for the land.

Soil hydrology in agriculture [PDF]

open access: yesWater, 2019
Understanding the hydrological behavior of soils is essential for managing and protecting agricultural (and natural) ecosystems. Soil hydrological behavior not only mainly determines crop responses to water and nutrients provided by irrigation and fertilization, but also the timing for soil tillage, environmental conditions for plant diseases, among ...

Comparison of Five Spectral Indices and Six Imagery Classification Techniques for Assessment of Crop Residue Cover Using Four Years of Landsat Imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Determining residue cover on agricultural land is an important task. Residue cover helps reduce soil erosion and helps sequester carbon. Many studies have used either spectral indices or classification techniques to map residue cover using satellite ...
