Sentence examples for use of surface soil from inspiring English sources

This research examines the use of surface soil moisture from the AMSR-E passive microwave satellite to derive surface soil moisture anomalies by exploiting spatial resolution to compensate for the shorter temporal record of the satellite sensor.

This paper presents MULESME, a software designed for the systematic mapping of surface soil moisture using Sentinel-1 SAR data.

This study evaluated the feasibility of using three different methods for prediction of surface soil salinity, namely visible near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (VisNIR DRS), portable x-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry, and remote sensing (RS).

Comparison of prediction models of surface soil horizons using ordinary kriging and regression kriging indicated that ordinary kriging had greater predictive power; however, regression kriging using principal components of covariate data more effectively captured the spatial patterns of soil property landscape relationships.

This paper proposes a mathematical method based on a one-dimensional diffusion equation to derive diurnal variation of surface soil heat flux using cloudless MODIS data for a sparse vegetation and bare soil.

Objectives were to determine estimation accuracies for contents of SOC, microbial biomass C (Cmic) and C and N fractions for two samples of surface soils using different software packages (with different data treatments) and to discuss the usefulness and limitations of MIRS for a quantitative assessment of soil properties.

Carbon-farming strategies include planting cover crops that increase water retention and soil nutrients and keep weeds down; using no-till approaches that limit aeration of surface soils and reduce erosion; and planting diverse perennial forages with deeper root systems for grazing animals.

Our modelling of conventional tillage assumes that 95% of surface residues are mixed with soils, whereas no-tillage scenarios assume a converse 5% mixing of surface soils.

In a synthetic study we explore the potential of using surface soil moisture measurements obtained from different satellite platforms to retrieve soil moisture profiles and soil hydraulic properties using a sequential data assimilation procedure and a 1D mechanistic soil water model.

After inoculation, holes on either side of each seedling were filled using a small amount of the surface soil in each pot.

The sample and model variograms were used to evaluate the spatial structure of the surface soil moisture.
