Towards Land Consumption Neutrality and Natural Capital Enhancement at Urban Landscape Scale

Land, 2023
Among the UNCCD SDGs 2030, there is the recognition that land consumption can strongly affect the provision of ecosystem services. From the perspective of land degradation neutrality, urban level is the right scale when planning actions against land ...

Non-Standard Discrete RothC Models for Soil Carbon Dynamics

Axioms, 2021
Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is one of the key indicators of land degradation. SOC positively affects soil functions with regard to habitats, biological diversity and soil fertility; therefore, a reduction in the SOC stock of soil results in degradation ...

Biodegradable Wireless Soil Urea Sensor Using Metamaterial Perfect Absorber for Distributed Deployment in Precision Agriculture

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this study, we propose a biodegradable wireless soil urea sensor for precision agriculture. The sensor's electromagnetic response varies depending on the urea concentration, allowing the measurement of relative soil urea concentrations by analyzing the time‐transient electromagnetic response.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Land Assessment in Russia Based on the Concept of Land Degradation Neutrality

Regional Research of Russia, 2020
Abstract—The Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) concept is a result of the development of global experience in assessing land degradation over the past 40 years and is worked out to harmonize different national methods for monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the sustainable development indicator 15.3.1: “proportion of land that is degraded ...
