Land Use Change Effect on Soil Carbon Stock and Selected Soil Properties in Gobu Sayyo District, Western Ethiopia

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal
Land use change is one of the major factors affecting soil degradation. Growing population pressure has increased land use change with more negative effects on soil carbon storage and overall soil properties. The objective of this study was to assess the

Unlocking complex soil systems as carbon sinks: multi-pool management as the key

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Much research focuses on increasing carbon storage in mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM), in which carbon may persist for centuries to millennia.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Characterization of epipedons in soils of varying parent materials under cocoa plantation

open access: yesEQA
Epipedons type and thickness affect the properties and productivity of soils. Therefore, the study was carried out at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching and Research Farm, Nigeria, to assess the influence of vegetation on epipedon characteristics in

Soil biota in grassland, its ecosystem services and the impact of management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In the search for sustainable grassland systems, self-regulating processes in the soil become increasingly important. Soil biota play an important role in these processes and in the provision of various ecosystem services. For grassland systems important

Are advisory services “fit for purpose” to support sustainable soil management? An assessment of advice in Europe

open access: yesSoil use and management, 2019
This assessment examines the extent to which advisory services are able to address current and emerging knowledge needs of practitioners (primarily farmers) about sustainable soil management (SSM) in Europe.

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

Impacts of area closure on selected soil physicochemical properties at Meldam watershed, Sekota area, North Western Ethiopia

open access: yesDiscover Environment
Area closure, by excluding human and animal interference, has proven to be an effective conservation strategy that facilitates natural regeneration, improves soil health, and enhances ecosystem resilience in degraded landscapes.

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 ...
