Soil organic carbon storage impacts on crop yields in rice-based cropping systems under different long-term fertilisatio...
peer reviewed / Rice production in the Yangtze River Basin accounts for 44.4 % of China's total rice production. Exploring the response of crop yields to soil organic carbon (SOC) storage under various fertilisation treatments for maintaining high and sustainable crop yields is an urgent issue. A database containing information on crop yields, SOC ...
Implications Of Persistent Micro-bioplastics On Biogeochemical Properties Across Soil Types
Terrestrial microplastics are increasing in abundance and are an emerging contaminant of concern, particularly in agriculture ecosystems where plastic use and subsequent soil contamination are prevalent. Plastic film mulches make up a significant portion of the plasticulture industry and are directly linked to soil microplastic pollution where nega...
Livestock feeding behaviour: A review on automated systems for ruminant monitoring
peer reviewed / Livestock feeding behaviour is an influential research area in animal husbandry and agriculture. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in automated systems for monitoring the behaviour of ruminants. Current automated monitoring systems mainly use motion, acoustic, pressure and image sensors to collect and analyse patter...

Investigation Of Temperature, Solution Strength, And Applied Stress Effects On Cation Exchange Processes In Different Ge...
An extensive laboratory test program was conducted to analyze and compare the cation exchange processes in three different varieties of sodium bentonite (Na-B) geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) over increased conditioning durations up to 32 days and investigate the effects of temperature, solution strength, and applied stress. The goal of this test p...
Integration of MATLAB and Machine Learning to Accelerate Evaluation of Biological Activity in Agricultural Soils and Pro...
Traditionally, assessments of soil biological activity have been confined to laboratory settings, creating a disconnect with practical in-field methods. To bridge this gap, cotton fabric degradation has been used to illustrate soil microbial activity under different management practices. While effective, these demonstrations are subjective and labo...
Assessing Soil Properties & Suitability for Optimized Irrigation Development in Sudan, Northern Africa
In Chapter 1, soil properties essential for efficient irrigation are thoroughly assessed. Factors such as soil texture, infiltration rates, and nutrient content are analyzed to provide insights into the selection of modern irrigation systems. Utilizing data collected from 3,192 locations through GPS and laboratory analyses, alongside sophisticated ...
Assessing the impacts of climate change on crop yields, soil organic carbon sequestration and N2O emissions in wheat–mai...
...
peer reviewed / Straw retention has been widely implemented to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation for global agriculture. However, the combined effects of long-term straw retention on crop production, SOC sequestration and GHG emissions response to climate change remain unknown. Two nearby wheat–mai...
