For the design of reliable power grounding systems for critical electrical infrastructure, soil resistivity investigation is crucial. However, soil resistivity depends on various geotechnical ...

This schematic illustrates the full workflow of a new study that integrates field and literature data, correlation analysis, and predictive modeling—including machine learning and geochemical ...

Soil stores more carbon than Earth's atmosphere and plants combined, which makes the speed of soil carbon's decomposition an important variable in models used to predict changes to our climate.

A centuries-old concept in soil science has recently been thrown out. Yet it remains a key ingredient in everything from climate models to advanced carbon-capture projects. The hope was that the soil ...

Though it might seem inanimate, the soil under our feet is very much alive. It's filled with countless microorganisms actively breaking down organic matter, like fallen leaves and plants, and ...

Maintaining soil health is crucial for sustainable agriculture. Recently, soil volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have emerged as promising indicators for assessing soil health. A new study aimed to ...

Amid China's efforts to safeguard grain security and protect farmland, the Zhaodong Experimental Station of China Agricultural University has developed a replicable and scalable approach to ...
