Sentence examples for scale of soil from inspiring English sources

Formerly, as a reference for spatial position, paper base maps controlled the cartographic scale of soil maps.

An unbalanced nested sampling design was used to investigate the spatial scale of soil and herbicide interactions at the field scale.

Generally, the scale of soil geometry, for most practical applications is large and, therefore, the microscopic properties could be averaged and the soil could be simulated as a continuum.

Greater spatial resolution of soil taxonomic classifications and related maps across the landscape would improve accuracy in estimating soil C. Given the importance of soil C in our findings, it is unfortunate that the scale of soil mapping and intensity of investigation in forests and rangeland are typically less than agricultural areas [66].

Our method differs from the one presented in Orlikowski et al. (2011) as follows: in order to be consistent with the previous approach of Lorz et al. (2012b) and because of the rather large scale of soil data, we used a raster cell size of 200 m × 200 m; Orlikowski et al. (2011) produced maps referring to sub-catchment level whereas we produced cell-based values.

Although complex spatial patterns have been described for soil invertebrates forming patch assemblages that range from the scale of soil aggregates [ 35] to those of individual plants [ 36], agricultural lands and natural ecosystems [ 37- 42], no study has assessed the multi-scale spatial relationship between soil invertebrates and environmental variability thus far.

We sought to extend the spatial scale of soil-plant models by including, rather than ignoring, heterogeneity using the deposition of urine patches as an example.

Soil fertility indices were derived using novel multidimensional scaling of soil properties.

Their coincident use can frequently provide worthwhile information for different time scales of soil redistribution.

To connect pedon and landscape scales of soil moisture, a key lies in the distribution of different soils over the landscape.

Landscape-scale pedology also provides the linkage between soil processes and soil surveys, and this linkage is essential for up scaling of soil process information to regional, national, and global scales.
