Reducing uncertainty in quantifying basin‐scale water‐budget components is one of the
most vexing problems for water‐resource managers. Although a vast literature addresses …

Oil palm plantations are intensively managed agricultural systems that increasingly
dominate certain tropical regions. Oil palm monocultures have been criticized because of …

Thatch is a layer of partially decomposed organic matter between green shoot tissue and the
soil surface, and mat is thatch partially intermixed with topsoil. Excessive thatch–mat …

Rainwater harvesting (RWH) techniques have been adapted in arid and semi-arid regions to
minimise the risk from droughts. The demand for water has increased but water resources …

Soil salinity and climate change have a negative impact on global food production and
security, especially in arid regions with limited water resources. Despite the importance of …

This study investigated the influence of rangeland land cover on infiltration rates (IRs), field-
saturated hydraulic conductivity (K fs), and soil water repellency in Patagonia. Four land …

In this paper, we describe the designed and tested system of automated double ring
infiltrometer (DRI) that we have developed using an Arduino microcontroller, a Hall effect …

Grasslands globally deliver many ecosystem services, including water management to
alleviate flood risk reduction. Two replicated field experiments were conducted to study how …

Organic matter plays an important and multi-faceted role in soil. Physically, organic matter
influences soil structure and all associated properties. Chemically, soil organic matter affects …

Soil temperature is an important environmental factor affecting biogeochemical processes in
salt marshes and further wetland ecological functions. This study conducted field …
