Predicting Soil Salt Content Over Partially Vegetated Surfaces Using Non-Negative Matrix Factorization

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2015
Remote sensing has been widely applied to map soil salinity in the last few decades. However, a notable decrease in the accuracy of soil salt content (SSC) predictions occurred when the soil surfaces were partially vegetated. To minimize the influence of

Wien effect of Cd/Zn on soil clay fraction and their interaction

open access: yesGeochemical Transactions, 2018
Background The coexistence of Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions in nature has a significant influence on their environmental behaviors in soils and bioavailability for plants. While many studies have been done on the mutual toxicity of Cd2+ and Zn2+, few studies can be
