Cross‐correlating soil aggregate stability methods to facilitate universal interpretation

Schematic of the studies key steps – we analyzed a diverse dataset of 1,399 soil samples from across the United States and compared three common water-stable aggregate methods to determine which method is the most appropriate reference method for use in soil health assessment frameworks such as the Soil Health Assessment Protocol and Evaluation (SHAPE) […]

Artificial intelligence in soil science: Where do we go now?

Here, five artificial Intelligence structures are shown that the authors wish to highlight. These largely constitute the basis of many other advanced artificial intelligence algorithms and are a good starting point to begin to understand how AI is applied in soil sciences. Abstract Recognizing the fast advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in soil science, the

Reintroduction strategies for rare arable weeds in agricultural practice and their influence on yield

Abstract Agricultural intensification and changing landscape structure led to decreasing numbers of arable flora and fauna during the last decades. To counteract these declines, arable plant diversity needs to be restored. It is important to promote regional plant communities including endangered species to ensure adaption to agricultural landscapes. Therefore, this study examines the development of

Communicating the use of artificial intelligence in agricultural and environmental research

Abstract Transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) make difficult tasks more accessible and convenient. Since 2018, the use of AI in research has increased drastically, with annual publication rates of 3–5 times higher than pre-2017. Currently, >100,000 manuscripts using AI are published annually within science and engineering, and >20,000 of these belong to the agricultural and

Effect of wind speed and net radiation on the oasis effect in temperate rice paddy fields

Abstract The oasis effect, characterized by atmospheric cooling due to excessive evapotranspiration (ET) and the inflow of warm air from the surroundings, has been well documented in vegetated oases. Despite its significant ET rates, the atmospheric cooling phenomenon in rice paddies has not received extensive exploration. This study investigates the oasis effect during July and

Comparative analysis of ex situ zooplankton hatching methods

Flores-Mendez, Daniel Nino; Gutierrez, María Florencia; Abstract: Aims This study aims to analyze the efficiency of two novel methods for ex situ zooplankton hatching experiments, compared with a traditional one. Both proposed methods were specifically designed to minimize sediment resuspension during the sampling of hatched individuals when no previous egg isolation is performed. Methods Sediment

Potential importance of vegetative spread and fragment regeneration for invasiveness of Clematis vitalba

Abstract Identifying characteristics of invasive species or growth forms that facilitate their range expansion is critical for management. Clematis vitalba L. (old man’s beard) is an invasive temperate liana in many areas of its introduction, yet its seedlings do not thrive in circumstances where resources are limited. Although some lianas in both tropical and temperate
