The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2006 Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Spatio-temporal variation of surface soil moisture over the Yellow River basin during 1961–2012 [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015 Soil moisture plays a significant role in agricultural and ecosystem development. However, in the real world soil moisture data are very limited due to many factors.

Assessing the Potential of Combined SMAP and In-Situ Soil Moisture for Improving Streamflow Forecast
Hydrology, 2023 Soil moisture is an essential hydrological variable for a suite of hydrological applications. Its spatio-temporal variability can be estimated using satellite remote sensing (e.g., SMOS and SMAP) and in-situ measurements.
