Combined sensor of dielectric constant and visible and near infrared spectroscopy to measure soil compaction using artificial neural networks [PDF]
, 2014 Soil compaction is a widely spread problem in agricultural soils that has negative agronomic and environmental impacts. The former may lead to poor crop growth and yield, whereas the latter may lead to poor hydraulic properties of soils, and high risk to
