Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2021 The impact of machines on forest soils is regularly assessed and quantified using absolute bulk density, which is most frequently obtained by soil cores. However, to allow for repeated measurements at the exact same locations, non-destructive devices are

Prediction of soil bulk density in agricultural soils using mid-infrared spectroscopy
Geoderma, 2023 Soil bulk density (BD) is a key physical parameter in soil quality control and in the calculation from soil organic carbon (SOC) mass (g/kg) content to area stock (kg/ha). However, BD laboratory analysis is time-consuming, labour intensive and expensive, especially for a national-scale soil assessment.

Soil bulk density assessment in Europe
Agriculture, Ecosystems & EnvironmentThe topsoil Land Use and Cover Area frame Statistical survey (LUCAS) aims at collecting harmonised data about the state of soil health over the extent of European Union (EU). In the LUCAS 2018 survey, bulk density has been analysed for three depths, i.e., 0-10 cm = 6140 sites; 10-20 cm = 5684 sites and 20-30 cm =139 sites.

PEDO-TRANSFER FUNCTIONS FOR ESTIMATING SOIL BULK DENSITY IN CENTRAL AMAZONIA
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2015 Under field conditions in the Amazon forest, soil bulk density is difficult to measure. Rigorous methodological criteria must be applied to obtain reliable inventories of C stocks and soil nutrients, making this process expensive and sometimes unfeasible.

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...
