Climate, soil management and land use were better correlated with soil near-saturated hydraulic conductivities than soil properties like texture, organic carbon content and bulk density in this meta-study. 📊Download the meta-database here: ➡️https://t.co/zQ9UqNsI5p
🧑🌾🌾How do farmers decide about soil-preserving management practices? A recent study found three different perspectives among Swiss farmers. Find out more about how knowledge of farmers’ perspectives can help refine policies and advisory programs ➡️https://t.co/oOO3pIoUms
Franz Bender & Lutz Merbold from @Agroscope did a presentation on the Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) & its application in 🇨🇭.
They shared the TAPE assessment results on the agroecological status of the Swiss Agricultural & Food systems at the national scale.
#Biochar is applied to increase #soil organic carbon. There is also an increasing financial💰interest behind this practice. But how to avoid counting this carbon removal twice? This review highlights the risks and the limits of different schemes for #SOC certification. 🔽🔽🔽
Trying to use natural language processing software to extract #soil related scientific data 💾from peer-reviewed literature📜? In this #EJPSOIL study three different approaches were testet. Human supervision remains essential😅, but this software can be of large support! 🖥️💡
Increasing interest in the application of #soil#sprectroscopy raises questions on HOW to use the devices best. The @EJPSOIL#ProbeField project recently made some suggestions on best practices for scanning methods. Find more information 👇!
