Over-increasing population and their needs necessitate sustainable use of soil and the other
natural resources. In these circumstances land use changes may occur for supplying the …

Purpose Spatial variability of soil properties is considered as one of the most important
reasons for the variability of crop productions. The current research was conducted to …

Soil aggregate size and stability are two important factors affecting soil erodibility to wind
erosion. In this study, we developed new models to quantify soil erodibility to wind erosion …

Standard hydrometer procedure is labor-intensive and time-consuming. We aimed to 1) test
how fraction of soil clay-sized particles (clay H) can be estimated using only a single-reading …

Visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) reflectance spectroscopy has recently emerged as an
efficient and cost-effective tool for monitoring soil parameters and provides an extensive …

Background and aims Vegetation restoration can effectively improve multiple soil functions
by altering soil microorganisms and physicochemical properties. However, dynamic …

Application of visible-near infrared (VNIR) or mid-infrared (MIR) proximal sensing for
prediction of soil attributes has proven successful in many cases and is currently extensively …

The relationship between potassium (K) and soil physicochemical properties can be used to
understand the K cycling. Topography, as a soil forming factor, has an important effect on the …

Hydraulic conductivity (K ψ) is one of the most important soil properties that influences water
and chemical movement within the soil and is a vital factor in various management practices …

Soil potassium is a crucial nutrient element necessary for crop growth, and its efficient
measurement has become essential for developing rational fertilization plans and optimizing …
