Role of crop residue mulches and their decomposition on soil functions in conservation agriculture : S11.03a -6 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Core principle of Conservation Agriculture is to maintain soil cover by crop residue mulching or cover crops. Mulching practice affects many agroecosystem services, through water dynamics and C and N transformations (Coppens et al., 2007) and their ...

Capillary barrier effect on the response of residual slope to rainfall infiltration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Rainfall-induced slope failure is a common problem in areas covered by residual soil in tropical countries. The soil exists in unsaturated condition as ground water table is located well below the ground surface.
