Large, climate-sensitive soil carbon stocks mapped with pedology-informed machine learning in the North Pacific coastal temperate rainforest

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2019
Accurate soil organic carbon (SOC) maps are needed to predict the terrestrial SOC feedback to climate change, one of the largest remaining uncertainties in Earth system modeling.

Los suelos, una nueva frontera para el conocimiento y las políticas ambientales

open access: yesRevue d'anthropologie des connaissances, 2020
Despite its vital importance for ecosystems and societies, soil largely remains understood as an inert base, a backdrop for the biological and social life that exists at its surface. This special issue looks at the dynamics of production, circulation and

Knowledge Guided Representation Learning and Causal Structure Learning in Soil Science [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
An improved understanding of soil can enable more sustainable land-use practices. Nevertheless, soil is called a complex, living medium due to the complex interaction of different soil processes that limit our understanding of soil. Process-based models and analyzing observed data provide two avenues for improving our understanding of soil processes ...

Soils: A new frontier for environmental knowledge and policies

open access: yesRevue d'anthropologie des connaissances, 2020
Despite its vital importance for ecosystems and societies, the social sciences continue to understand soil largely as an inert base, a backdrop for the biological and social life that exists at its surface.

Collapsing granular suspensions [PDF]

open access: yesEur. Phys. J. E 30, 275-281 (2009), 2009
A 2D contact dynamics model is proposed as a microscopic description of a collapsing suspension/soil to capture the essential physical processes underlying the dynamics of generation and collapse of the system. Our physical model is compared with real data obtained from in situ measurements performed with a natural collapsing/suspension soil.

Soil Property and Class Maps of the Conterminous US at 100 meter Spatial Resolution based on a Compilation of National Soil Point Observations and Machine Learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
With growing concern for the depletion of soil resources, conventional soil data must be updated to support spatially explicit human-landscape models. Three US soil point datasetswere combined with a stack of over 200 environmental datasets to generate complete coverage gridded predictions at 100 m spatial resolution of soil properties (percent organic

smol: Sensing Soil Moisture using LoRa [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Technologies for environmental and agricultural monitoring are on the rise, however, there is a lack of small, low-power, and lowcost sensing devices in the industry. One of these monitoring tools is a soil moisture sensor. Soil moisture has significant effects on crop health and yield, but commercial monitors are very expensive, require manual use, or

Identification of functional and diverse circulating cancer‐associated fibroblasts in metastatic castration‐naïve prostate cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Talking soil science with farmers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
When agricultural researchers visit farms in order to gather information for their research programmes, farmers rarely get proper feedback. Research information on scientific concepts such as soil fertility and nutrient balances is often considered too ...

Machine Learning-Based Classification of Soil Parent Materials Using Elemental Concentration and Vis-NIR Data

open access: yesSensors
In soil science, the allocation of soil samples to their respective origins holds paramount significance, as it serves as a crucial investigative tool.
