An econometric investigation of impacts of sustainable land management practices on soil carbon and yield risk: A potential for climate change mitigation [PDF]

We investigate the impacts of sustainable land management practices on soil carbon stocks and also impacts of soil carbon on the mean and variance of crop production using econometric tools. Using a cross-sectional plot-level dataset collected from three

The impact of altered management on long-term agricultural soil carbon stocks [PDF]

, 2004
Land use in general and particularly agricultural practices can significantly influence soil carbon storage. In this paper, we investigate the long-term effects of management changes on soil carbon stock dynamics on a Swedish farm where C concentrations ...

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Biochar soil addition alters ant functional traits as exemplified with three species

Biochar
The response of soil microorganisms and plants in soil ecosystems to biochar is well recognised. However, biochars’ impact on large soil animal, such as ants, is inadequately understood, with only limited studies focusing on the abundance and mortality ...

Geochemical behavior of engineered nanoparticles under biotic and abiotic processes

Soil & Environmental Health
Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are inevitably released into the environment, causing health concerns due to their increased concentrations and negative impacts. In natural settings, organisms may encounter transformed ENPs due to their interactions with

Winter soil respiration in a humid temperate forest: The roles of moisture, temperature, and snowpack [PDF]

, 2016
Winter soil respiration at midlatitudes can comprise a substantial portion of annual ecosystem carbon loss. However, winter soil carbon dynamics in these areas, which are often characterized by shallow snow cover, are poorly understood due to infrequent ...
