Digital images for assessing soil cover of crop plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The main drawback by using crop soil cover in weed harrowing research is that it is assessed by visual scores, which are biased and context dependent. This problem may be solved by using digital image analysis.

Hot-Moments of Soil CO2 Efflux in a Water-Limited Grassland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The metabolic activity of water-limited ecosystems is strongly linked to the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses that can trigger disproportionately high (i.e., hot-moments) ecosystem CO2 fluxes.

3D Printed Omniphobic Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces for Low Surface Tension Repellency

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A 3D printing strategy fabricates omniphobic slippery liquid‐infused porous structures with lubricant reservoirs and interconnected microchannels. A post‐printing surface treatment modifies the porous surface to ensure compatibility with the infused fluorinated lubricant.

Enhancing Process Control in Agriculture: Leveraging Machine Learning for Soil Fertility Assessment

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings
Context: The primary factor in determining whether or not a crop can be produced on a certain type of soil is soil fertility. When faced with many options, farmers frequently find it difficult to decide which crop to plant.

Biofunctool®: a new set of indicators to assess the impact of land management onsoil functioning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The concept and methods to assess soil quality have been widely debated in the literature for the last twenty years. We developed a new framework to assess soil quality following an integrative approach based on the measurement of soil dynamic functions ...

A simple reactive-transport model of calcite precipitation in soils and other porous media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Calcite formation in soils and other porous media generally occurs around a localised source of reactants, such as a plant root or soil macro-pore, and the rate depends on the transport of reactants to and from the precipitation zone as well as the ...

Edible Pouch Motors

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...
