Combination of Imaging Infrared Spectroscopy and X-ray Computed Microtomography for the Investigation of Bio-and Physicochemical processes in Structured Soils [PDF]

, 2020
Soil is a heterogeneous mixture of various organic and inorganic parent materials. Major soil functions are driven by their quality, quantity and spatial arrangement, resulting in soil structure.

Vegetation Re-development After Fen Meadow Restoration by Topsoil Removal and Hay Transfer [PDF]

, 2009
We investigated the effects of different restoration treatments on the development of fen meadow communities: (1) depth of topsoil removal, with shallow (circa 20 cm) and deep (circa 40 cm) soil removal applied, (2) transfer of seed-containing hay, and ...

A Study of the Relationships between Depths of Soil Constraints and Remote Sensing Data from Different Stages of the Growing Season

Remote Sensing, 2023
The presence of salinity and sodicity in the root zone can limit root development and impact crop yield. Topsoil constraints are likely to have the greatest impact on crop growth early in the growing season, when plant roots are still shallow.

Multispectral Models from Bare Soil Composites for Mapping Topsoil Properties over Europe

Remote Sensing, 2020
Reflectance of light across the visible, near-infrared and shortwave infrared (VIS-NIR-SWIR, 0.4–2.5 µm) spectral region is very useful for investigating mineralogical, physical and chemical properties of soils, which can reduce the need for traditional ...

Regional and global hotspots of arsenic contamination of topsoil identified by deep learning

Communications Earth & Environment
Topsoil arsenic (As) contamination threatens the ecological environment and human health. However, traditional methods for As identification rely on on-site sampling and chemical analysis, which are cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly.

Sentinel-2 image capacities to predict common topsoil properties of temperate and Mediterranean agroecosystems

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2019
To be fully operational for facilitating decisions made at any spatial level, models and indicators of soil ecosystem functions require the use of precise spatially referenced soil information as inputs.

Cattle manure amended soil influences germination and early seedling development of marula (Sclerocarya birrea (A. Rich) Hochst.)

Frontiers in Food Science and Technology
IntroductionThe choice of growth media is an important aspect of nurseries, as it affects the success and quality of the seedling establishment. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of soil amendment on germination and growth ...
