Critical conditions for the wetting of soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota and in determining whether flooding and soil erosion will occur. The analysis used in common measurements of soil hydrophobicity makes the assumption that water always enters soils ...

Water and sediment runoff and soil moisture response to grass cover in sloping citrus land, Southern China

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2019
Soil erosion is recognized as one of the major environmental problems in the hilly red soil region of Jiangxi province, southern China. An eight-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of grass cover in the sloping citrus land on ...

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

Detecting Soil Moisture Levels Using Battery-Free Wi-Fi Tag [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Soil sensing plays an important role in increasing agricultural output and protecting soil sites. Existing soil sensing methods failed to achieve both high accuracy and low cost. In this paper, we design and implement a high-accuracy and low cost chipless soil moisture sensing system called SoilTAG.

Water uptake by trees in a riparian hardwood forest (Rhine floodplain, France) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Water flow in the soil–root–stem system was studied in a flooded riparian hardwood forest in the upper Rhine floodplain. The study was undertaken to identify the vertical distribution of water uptake by trees in a system where the groundwater is at a ...
