Soil Image Segmentation Based on Mask R-CNN [PDF]
The complex background in the soil image collected in the field natural environment will affect the subsequent soil image recognition based on machine vision. Segmenting the soil center area from the soil image can eliminate the influence of the complex background, which is an important preprocessing work for subsequent soil image recognition.

Carbon for soils, not soils for carbon
AbstractThe role of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration as a ‘win‐win’ solution to both climate change and food insecurity receives an increasing promotion. The opportunity may be too good to be missed! Yet the tremendous complexity of the two issues at stake calls for a detailed and nuanced examination of any potential solution, no matter how ...

Protein import into chloroplasts: new aspects of a well-known topic [PDF]
Protein import into plant chloroplasts is a fascinating topic that is being investigated by many research groups. Since the majority of chloroplast proteins are synthesised as precursor proteins in the cytosol, they have to be posttranslationally ...

Saprotrophic soil fungi to improve phosphorus solubilisation and release. In vitro abilities of several species [PDF]
Modern agriculture is dependent on phosphate rock (PR), which is a nonrenewable resource. Improvement of phosphorus (P) availability for crops in agricultural soils represents a key strategy to slow down the depletion of PR. The aim of this study was to

Impact of sensor placement in soil water estimation: A real-case study [PDF]
One of the essential elements in implementing a closed-loop irrigation system is soil moisture estimation based on a limited number of available sensors. One associated problem is the determination of the optimal locations to install the sensors such that good soil moisture estimation can be obtained.

Managing Soil Quality: Challenges in Modern Agriculture [PDF]
Soil quality is a concept that allows soil functions to be related to specific purposes. Previous books on soil quality have emphasized descriptive aspects, by focusing on e.g. soil quality indicators, indexing, and minimum data sets.
