Measurement of soil bulk density is important for understanding the physical, chemical, and
biological properties of soil. Accurate and rapid soil bulk density measurement techniques …

A system combining soil grown crops with photovoltaic panels (PV) installed several meters
above the ground is referred to as agrivoltaic systems. In this work a patented agrivoltaic …

Many materials (eg soil) are multi-phase composites in engineering, and the thermal
conductivity of mixtures is a critical parameter for analyzing the temperature field. Owing to …

Solarisation technology allows for improving soil quality as well as crop productivity. The
influence of the properties and method of use of plastic materials used to cover soils, such …

Soil heat flux (SHF) is a key component of the surface energy balance and driver of soil
physiochemical and biological processes. Accurate estimation of soil heat flux is challenging …

As a special heterogeneous geological material, soil-rock mixtures are widely distributed in
nature and used in civil engineering. Heat flow is one of the most significant factors affecting …

In 2008, scientists from seven federal and state institutions worked together to investigate
temporal and spatial variations of evapotranspiration (ET) and surface energy balance in a …

In this study ground measured soil and vegetation component temperatures and composite
temperature from a high spatial resolution thermal camera and a network of thermal-IR …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is, after precipitation, the second largest flux at the land surface in
the water cycle and occurs mainly during daytime. Less attention has been given to water …

Accurate simulation of soil temperature can help improve the accuracy of crop growth
models by improving the predictions of soil processes like seed germination, decomposition …
