Integrating X‐Ray Computed Tomography and Hydraulic Properties for Soil Quality Assessment Under Soil Compaction

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10960-10978, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction poses a significant threat to soil quality and sustainability, necessitating advanced assessment methods. We hypothesized that incorporating x‐ray computed tomography (XCT)‐derived pore characteristics with hydraulic properties would significantly enhance the development of a soil quality index (SQI) under soil compaction ...

Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 450-459, August 2026.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Problems of definitive slopes mining at Doly Nástup Tušimice [PDF]

open access: yesActa Montanistica Slovaca, 2007
The instability of slopes influents mining business in many aspects at opencast mining. The temporary decrease of intended mined volumes due to landslips is common and sometimes there is necessary to change origin-mining plans.
