Exploring Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to Detect Soil Pipes: Theoretical Modeling and Field Experiments

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion research remains critical for sustainable development as it impacts soil health through different erosive processes. Recent studies on soil piping highlight advancements in detecting surface features (using UAV); however, detecting underground pipes still remains challenging.

Carbon Stock and Environmental Variations of Typical Plantations in Mufu Mountain in Hubei Province, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Advanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Improved Communications [PDF]

open access: yes
Reestablishing communication channels is one of the most important yet time-consuming procedures to carry out following a natural disaster. After Hurricane Katrina impacted Louisiana in 2005, more than 60% of networks were still down 3 weeks after the ...

Short‐term responses in weed spatial patterns during early adoption of conservation agriculture practices

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Weed spatial patterns and temporal stability were shaped by species life forms and the cropping systems implemented in the plots. Weed aggregation was more pronounced in conservation agriculture and among perennials. Patch stability was primarily governed by species life form and was stronger among perennials. Abstract BACKGROUND The aggregated spatial

Pesticide exposure of operators during mixing and loading a drone: towards a stratified exposure assessment

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Operators are exposed to concentrated formulation during mixing of pesticide into the nurse tank and to an in‐use dilution during loading the drone; stratification of exposure for mixing and loading would inform the exposure assessment approach by applying the appropriate dermal absorption considerations.
