Healthy soils contribute to a wide range of ecosystem services and virtually all of the UN
Sustainable Development Goals, but most of the world's soil resources are in only fair, poor …

Abstract Purpose of Review The paper discusses how robotics and autonomous systems
(RAS) are being deployed to decarbonise agricultural production. The climate emergency …

The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals is being pursued worldwide. While
energy production and consumption are to be oriented towards renewable energies …

Mechanization in agriculture has greatly improved the efficiency of field operations, but also
resulted in heavier agricultural vehicles, which has led to increased risks of soil compaction …

The water retention curve (WRC) of arable soils from the southeastern United States at
different levels of compaction (no compaction, and 10 and 20% increases in soil bulk …

Potatoes are the fourth most important crop for human consumption. In the 18 century,
potatoes saved the European population from starvation, and since then, it has become one …

The disorderly machinery traffic has been one of the main causes of soil physical
degradation in sugarcane fields. In this sense, the adoption of strategies for machinery traffic …

High soil strength is a problem in grain production systems worldwide. It is most severe in
deep sands where the high strength occurs at greater depth, and is therefore more difficult to …

Controlled traffic farming (CTF) is a mechanisation system in which all machinery has the
same (or modular) working and track width so that field traffic can be confined to the least …

Soil compaction leads to an increase in bulk density (ρ b) and a shift in the pore-size
distribution towards smaller pores. This in turn changes the soil hydraulic properties (SHP) …
