The temporal stability of the variability in apparent soil electrical conductivity
Apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) measurements can be used for crop management in precision agriculture. However, ECa is a soil attribute that presents spatial and temporal variability.

The geological uncertainty is often ignored in slope reliability-based design, even though the spatial variability of soil parameters is considered. A full probabilistic design method is proposed for the slopes considering the geological uncertainty and ...

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Remote Sensing for Within-Plot Soil Variability Assessment Using NDVI Dispersion Metrics
While within-plot soil variability strongly influences crop development and agronomic management efficiency, practical and transferable methods for characterizing this variability remain limited.
