Miscanthus × giganteus increases soil maximum water holding capacity compared to maize

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Soil ecosystem services, like the ability to store water, have been depleted after a century of conventional, annual cropping, and perennial crops offer a solution to this and other agricultural environmental issues. We assessed the impact of Miscanthus ×

Slurry infiltration tests for slurry shield tunnelling in saturated sand [PDF]

, 2016
Tunnelling in saturated sand will cause excess pore pressures in the sand. This was the case during the construction of all tunnels in the Netherlands. This excess pore pressure influences the stability of the tunnel face.

Soil fauna activity and soil porosity: characterization by micromorphological image analysis.

, 2011
The soil biological communities are characterized by a higher diversity, by several orders of magnitude, compared to aboveground biomass, and therefore, this environmental compartment has become one of the last great frontiers in the study of biodiversity.
