Logging operations can negatively affect soil density and water infiltration within forests, particularly along makeshift logging roads and landing areas where logs are stored before being trucked to ...

Low-severity wildland fires and prescribed burns have long been presumed by scientists and resource managers to be harmless to soils, but this may not be the case, new research shows. According to two ...

Low-water plants, native shade, and smart irrigation turn yards into cooler landscapes that save water and support local life now.

Soil scientists can't possibly be everywhere at once to study every bit of soil across the planet. Plus, soils are constantly changing. Soil scientists can't possibly be everywhere at once to study ...

The soil properties under vegetation have long been observed to be different than soil in non-vegetated (bare) areas. In order to assess how vegetation affects soils and runoff processes, we have been ...

THE rain-fed agriculture is an enterprise of high risks and is exposed to many soil and environmental threats. The sustainability of rain-fed agriculture is, in fact, management of risks involved in ...

Farmers could bolster production and farm resilience by focusing on soil health, rather than blaming the weather, soil type and location for waterlogging and drought. So says independent farm adviser ...
