GeoTh is a new, simple, efficient, flexible, low-cost experimental laboratory apparatus. These features make it an excellent technological tool for measuring the thermal conductivity of granular materials, e.g., soils, sand, silt, clay or artificial...
Soil health is a term used to describe the general state or quality of soil, and in an agroecosystem, soil health can be defined as the ability of the soil to respond to agricultural practices in a way that sustainably supports both agricultural prod...
Steel is an indispensable material that is used in a wide range of products and that contributes significantly to economic development. However, steel production can affect soil quality and is associated with the pollution of local areas. Therefore,...
One of the most effective nature conservation measures is the creation of territories where human impact is limited, this is called specially protected natural areas. A significant contribution to increasing the area of the Russian Federation covered...
Few studies have explored greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from arable land in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and particularly from rice paddy fields, which can be a major source of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. This study examined the ef...
The O’Higgins Region, located in Central Chile, concentrates 40% of the country’s maize production, mainly under conventional tillage. This has generated soil physical degradation, modifying water movement on it, which varies even in shor...
Soil management is recognized to have an impact on soil quality attributes. Depending on the management approach, this impact can either degrade or improve soil quality. There is a severe shortage of information on the impacts of cultivation on sandy...
Plant litter decomposition is a key process in the biogeochemical cycles of terrestrial ecosystems. The main goal of this work is to determine the impact of current climate change on the decomposition process of the litter of Palo Laziale Wood (Rome,...
Cow urine is a rich source of mobile nutrients such as nitrate (NO3−) and potassium (K+). The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the wetting pattern distribution through soil profile of cow urine patch in an andisol. Two field experiments a...
Many plant species adapted to semi-arid environments are grown in the Sahelian region in northern Africa. One such species is Acacia seyal (Delile), a multipurpose leguminous tree grown in various agroecological zones, including saline soils. These c...
