Use of soil and climate data to assess the risk of agricultural drought for policy support in Europe. [PDF]
, 2001 This paper describes the use of soil and climatic data for assessing the risk of drought in Europe. Soil moisture regimes are defined for soil classification purposes and these can be used to delineate areas with the same type of soil climate.

Enhancing Soil Physical Quality with Diatomite Amendments
AgronomyClimate change poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity due to reduced water availability and increased temperatures. Developing innovative techniques to enhance soil water retention has emerged as a crucial strategy to mitigate these ...

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2022 The ability of soil to promote plant development is mostly governed by its hydraulic properties, namely its water retention capacity. Sandy soils are the least fertile because of their poor moisture capacity, high water permeability, and low nutrient ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

SUCTION MEASUREMENTS AND WATER RETENTION IN UNSATURATED SOILS [PDF]
, 2008 Techniques for testing unsaturated soils have been investigated by the author where the measurement and control of parameters were undertaken directly. Suction was measured and controlled with a new high suction tensiometer and water content through mass

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.
