Aggregate stability of Alfisols root zone upon turfgrass treatment
Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2020 Soil degradation mostly occurs on land where a lack of surface coverage results in soil-aggregate destruction due to heavy rainfall. Turfgrass is an ornamental plant and covers the soil surface and, thus, potentially improves soil-aggregate stability ...

Quicklime application instantly increases soil aggregate stability
, 2016 Agricultural intensification, especially enhanced mechanisation of soil management, can lead to the deterioration of soil structure and to compaction. A possible amelioration strategy is the application of (structural) lime.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.In this study, we propose a biodegradable wireless soil urea sensor for precision agriculture. The sensor's electromagnetic response varies depending on the urea concentration, allowing the measurement of relative soil urea concentrations by analyzing the time‐transient electromagnetic response.

Aggregation characteristics and maturity of Peak District soils
, 1969 Soil aggregation and aggregate stability are fundamental factors in determination of soil erodibility. The aggregation characteristics of soils in a region of high erosion potential are measured, and controlling factors examined.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...

Impact of initial water content on aggregate stability: a perspective based on soil internal forces
GeodermaThe soil aggregate stability is closely linked soil moisture through its regulation of soil internal forces, such as the van der Waals attractive force, electrostatic repulsion, and surface hydration repulsion.
