Limited effect of organic matter on soil available water capacity

, 2018
Soil water‐holding capacity is an important component of the water and energy balances of the terrestrial biosphere. It controls the rate of evapotranspiration, and is a key to crop production.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Sulfur source effects on soil, vegetation indices, biomass, and uptake in potato

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Sulfur (S) is necessary for amino acid production, disease resistance, protein synthesis, and nitrogen assimilation in plants. We tested the performance of three S sources (magnesium sulfate [EPTOP], gypsum, and ammonium sulfate [AS]) at two different ...

Assessing the stream water quality dynamics in connection with land use in agricultural catchments of different scales

Soil and Water Research, 2008
The ecological status of many surface waters in the Czech Republic is poor, mainly due to still relatively high discharges of N substances especially from agriculture.

Water harvesting from Soils by Solar-to-Heat Induced Evaporation and Capillary Water Migration [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Fresh water scarcity is one of the critical challenges for global sustainable development. Several novel water resources such as passive seawater solar desalination and atmospheric water harvesting have made some progress in recent years. However, no investigation has referred to harvesting water from shallow subsurface soils, which are potential huge ...

Land-use effects on soil-water retention characteristic [PDF]

, 2002
Tillage can negatively affect soil physical properties such as bulk density, organic matter content, and soil hydraulic properties, which in turn affect how plants grow. The objective of this study was to evaluate water retention characteristics of a Jay
