Assessment of the responses of soil pore properties to combined soil structure amendments using X-ray computed tomography

Scientific Reports, 2018
Soil amendments, such as straw mulch, organic fertilizers and superabsorbent polymer (SAP), are extensively applied to improve soil structure and porosity, and we reported the functional consequences of the individual application of these amendments in ...

Agar‐Based Optical Sensing System With a Phosphorescent Grid Pattern for Measuring Stress Distributions of Root Growth Using the Sampling Moiré Method

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Toposseqüências de Latossolos originados de rochas basálticas no Paraná: II - relação entre mineralogia da fração argila e propriedades físicas dos solos Oxisol toposequences developed from basaltic rocks in Paraná State, Brazil: II - relationship between clay fraction mineralogy and physical soil properties

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2006
A estrutura do solo (tipo, tamanho e grau de desenvolvimento) define a porosidade total do solo e a distribuição relativa entre macro e microporos, sendo considerada uma das mais importantes propriedades do solo do ponto de vista agrícola.

Improvement of soil structure through organic crop management, conservation tillage and grass-clover ley

Soil & Tillage Research, 2018
Conventional intensive tillage is a widespread soil management practice that controls weeds and promotes nutrient mineralization at the expense of a degraded soil structure and soil carbon (C) loss.

Biodegradable Wireless Soil Urea Sensor Using Metamaterial Perfect Absorber for Distributed Deployment in Precision Agriculture

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this study, we propose a biodegradable wireless soil urea sensor for precision agriculture. The sensor's electromagnetic response varies depending on the urea concentration, allowing the measurement of relative soil urea concentrations by analyzing the time‐transient electromagnetic response.
