Minimum-tillage, mechanized sowing of pulses with two-wheel tractors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Pulse crops in Bangladesh are mainly low-input rainfed crops with broadcast sowing. Since the 1990s, rotary tillage two-wheel tractors (2WT) have largely replaced animal draft for crop establishment.

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Mechanical properties of tree roots for soil reinforcement models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Evidence from forestry has shown that part of the forest floor bearing capacity is delivered by tree roots. The beneficial effect however varies and diminishes with increasing number of vehicle passes. Roots potential for reinforcing the soil is known to

Public Willingness to Pay for Regenerative Agriculture: Socioeconomic Drivers and Perception of Ecosystem Services

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a key driver of soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and the progressive degradation of ecosystems, increasing the urgency for transformative agricultural models. Regenerative agriculture (RA) has emerged as a promising solution by integrating ecological principles with long‐term economic viability to restore ...

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...
