Topsoil Compaction Risk Based on the Different Responses of Soil Structure to Compaction Stress

Agronomy
Compaction leads to reduced crop yields, as the soil structure is destroyed. As soil structures respond differently to different degrees of compaction stress, early warnings for the risk of soil compaction caused by agricultural machinery need to be ...

Rethinking Global Soil Degradation: Drivers, Impacts, and Solutions

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could ...

Airflow Features Obtained From Voluntary Throat Clearing Compared to Voluntary Cough and Induced Reflexive Cough in a Healthy Population

International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 60, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Coughing and throat clearing are different airway protective manoeuvres elicited in the framework of dysphagia. However, coughing and throat clearing may be auditorily confused during a clinical swallowing evaluation. In addition, literature reporting comparisons between coughing and throat clearing via gold standard airflow metrics
