For decades, soil management has relied on sparse field sampling and averaged recommendations. While effective in relatively uniform landscapes, this approach breaks down in real-world fields where ...

Crop nutrition and quality formation are complex processes influenced by genotype, environment, and management practices.

Soil salinity, a critical factor underpinning land degradation and diminishing agricultural productivity, poses a major threat to global food security and environmental sustainability. Recent advances ...

The dynamics of soil moisture are fundamental to understanding terrestrial hydrology and climate processes, impacting agriculture, water resource management and ecosystem resilience. Remote sensing ...

Although we generally think of Internet of Things (IoT) and similar devices as things that are scattered around above ground, there are plenty of reasons to also have such devices underground. These ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State University researchers are advancing agricultural applications for a sustainable future with a new $750,000 grant to develop cutting-edge, soil health-sensing ...

Just how much carbon is in the soil? That's a tough question to answer at large spatial scales, but understanding soil organic carbon at regional, national, or global scales could help scientists ...

To improve quantitative mapping of soil physical and chemical properties in support of higher arable land productivity strategies.

Analyze images and other data to solve problems across disciplines. Imagery and other data collected by satellites, crewed aircraft, and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) are increasingly important for ...

The results show that the peak annual average non-photosynthetic vegetation coverage accounts for about 37 percent of China's total land area and is increasing significantly at a rate of 0.14 percent ...
