Abstract Land application of dairy manure is a common practice on dairy farms. Long‐term application of phosphorus (P), in the forms of manure or fertilizers, to cropland can lead to a buildup of P in the soil and increased soil test P. Understanding how additional manure inputs can influence P nutrient balances throughout agroecosystems in Connecticut

Intercropping and low‐rate banded fertilizer to reduce nitrogen leaching in sweet corn
Abstract Water quality can be impacted by agricultural production on coarse‐textured, low organic matter soils where groundwater is shallow. This study investigated the effects of intercropping, decreased nitrogen rate, and precision nitrogen placement as nitrate leaching reduction strategies on sweet corn (Zea mays L.) yield.

The efficiency of nitrogen fertilization in cauliflower depends on synchronizing nutrient availability with crop demand while minimizing environmental losses. This study evaluated cauliflower performance and nitrogen leaching under varying ratios of polymer‐coated controlled‐release urea (CRU) and conventional urea (CU).

Theory and practice of hydrostatic lysimeters for direct measurement of net seepage in a patterned mire in north Scotland [PDF]
A novel design of lysimeter for use in mires (peatlands) with shallow water tables is described. It employs an hydraulic mechanism for the automatic equilibration of soil moisture distribution between the outside and the inside of the lysimeter tank but ...

Spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping for crop water stress assessment: A review
Abstract Water stress is a major limiting factor for crop productivity worldwide, and its impacts are intensifying due to climate variability and increasing water scarcity. This review focuses on the spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping as a critical approach to improving crop water‐stress assessment and supporting precision water ...

Monitoring Wind Turbine Vibrations for Structural and Subsurface Insights
Abstract Wind turbines generate continuous seismic signals that encode information about their structural integrity and surrounding environment. Utilizing 16 months of passive seismic data from two wind farms in Illinois, we analyze these turbine vibrations to evaluate both structural dynamics and near‐surface hydrogeology.

A simple lysimeter soil retriever for mini lysimeters.
Abstract A lysimeter-soil retriever (LSR) is a device used to retrieve the soil with minimum disturbance from lysimeters. This device makes the process of sampling intact soil layers from lysimeters easier and faster especially when a large number of lysimeters are being sampled. In this study, mini lysimeters (200 mm diameter and 25 kg weight)
