It aims to bridge disciplines, scales, and data, connect soils with the landscape, link fast and slow processes, and integrate mapping with monitoring and modeling to provide a holistic understanding of the interactions between the pedosphere and the hydrosphere.
At the macro level, our choices are entangled in food systems that connect soils with plants and animals, producers, distributors, consumers and all the living creatures that contribute to turn leftovers and waste into compost.
They are subject to a variety of soil and near-surface effects (e.g. flux attenuation) connected to soil density and wetness.
We finally achieve some damping of elastodynamic waves from 8 to 49 Hz for iron spheres 0.74 m in diameter, connected to soil with six rubber ligaments of optimized shapes.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.03007.014 As the fates of bacteria and fungi are ecologically intimately connected in soil one can envision that the endosymbiotic associations could be much more widespread in nature.
My final product titled, "Soil, Not Dirt: A Digital Journey Connecting Soils, Plants, and Climate" is now available to watch and share on YouTube.
Each dimension refers to a specific aspect: contribution to global challenges (Capability), value of the soil (Capital), current state of the soil (Condition), how people are connected to the soil (Connectivity) and development of good policy (Codification).
Conduit and other karstic flows to aquifers, connecting agricultural soils and farming activities, are considered to be the main hydrological mechanisms that transfer phosphorus from the land surface to the groundwater body of a karstified aquifer.
Due to the fact that the removed soil is inevitably connected with the cored soil, soil removal characteristics may have a great influence on both drilling loads and coring results.
100 V DC current is applied to a 3-meter-long soil column by electrodes connected to the soil.
