Multivariate analysis applied to evaluate the spatial variability of a soil subjected to conservation management

open access: yesRevista Ciência Agronômica
Monitoring the spatial variability of soil attributes is an important tool in crop management. Multivariate statistical methods and geostatistics were jointly applied to evaluate the infl uence of different attributes on spatial variability in the soil ...

The temporal stability of the variability in apparent soil electrical conductivity

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2016
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.

Full probabilistic design method for slopes considering geological uncertainty and spatial variability of soil parameters

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
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 ...

Spatial, temporal and technical variability in the diversity of prokaryotes and fungi in agricultural soils

open access: yesFrontiers in Soil Science, 2022
Several studies have shown that Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing can be used to measure the diversity of prokaryotes and fungal communities that provide ecosystem functions in agricultural soils.

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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 Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
“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

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Soil Science
While within-plot soil variability strongly influences crop development and agronomic management efficiency, practical and transferable methods for characterizing this variability remain limited.
