Which indicators are most effective at detecting rapid shifts in soil health?
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Farmers are showing a growing interest in soil health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how and when indicators respond to changes in land management. Measurements of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen can take up to a decade to shift. However, it is unknown how other biotic markers of soil health (i.e., nematode communities) react.

Mitigation of subsoil recompaction by light traffic and on-land ploughing. I. Soil response
, 2005 Mechanically loosened subsoil has been shown to be prone to recompaction. We evaluated the degree of recompaction of a sandy loam mechanically loosened to a depth of 35 cm in 1997 and again in 1998.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract The Guinea Savanna zone of many countries constitutes a critical cashew‐producing area. Despite its importance, data‐driven recommendations on optimal tree spacing remain largely unavailable to farmers in Ghana. This knowledge gap constrains productivity, reduces returns on investment, and affects farmer interest and ultimately the long‐term ...

Shallow Ploughing of Leys – Comparison of Different Plough and Cultivator Types
, 2015 The ploughing of a meadow to a maximum depth of 10 cm to perform a strip-till is a great challenge. At a machine demonstration of FiBL, the performances of six ploughing devices, namely two different plough models, two shallow cultivators and two ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa, there is growing interest in conservation agriculture practices, including reduced tillage (e.g., ripping), residue retention, and crop diversification, but their effects on soil moisture and penetration resistance in sub‐humid regions remain unclear.

Mechanical subsoiling: Mitigation of recompaction by light traffic and on-land ploughing
, 2003 Plough pans have been shown to severely hamper root development, limit rooting depth and reduce crop yield. However, mechanically loosening of compacted subsoils often gives discouraging results.

Developing a simple soil erosion model including spatial variability in headwater catchments
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Hillslopes and stream channels are tightly linked in headwater catchments, where soil erosion on slopes is transported to channels depending on topography, soil properties, and ground cover conditions. Because these environments are highly spatially variable, geographic information system (GIS)‐based modeling approaches are effective for ...

Arid Zone Journal of Engineering, Technology and Environment, 2017 An appropriate tillage method is necessary to create an optimum seed bed condition for optimum crop growth and yield. Two-year field experiment was conducted in 2013 and 2014 to investigate the effects of different tillage methods on the physical ...

On Minimum Depth of Cut in nanomachining
, 2010 The concept of Minimum Depth of Cut (MDC) is that the depth of cut must be over a certain critical thickness before any chip is formed. It is actually a major limiting factor on achievable accuracy in nanomachining, because the generated surface ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are a highly nutritious legume crop with global significance. However, their cultivation is limited in temperate regions like Germany due to climatic and agronomic constraints. The cultivation of beans has gained attention due to their potential contribution to climate change mitigation by reducing nitrogen
