Unpaved roads can be affected by high traffic demand and environmental conditions, decreasing its serviceability. To improve mechanical performance and reduce maintenance costs in soils, chemical stabilization techniques ...

The optimization of conservationist production systems, whose goal is to increase carbon stocks and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is considered one of the greatest challenges faced by agriculture nowadays. Therefore, ...

Leak noise correlators are commonly used to detect and locate leaks in buried water pipes. They use the cross-correlation function between leak noise signals measured using hydrophones or accelerometers placed on the pipe ...

The objective of the present work was to establish optimal biological and physicochemical parameters in order to remove simultaneously lindane and Cr(VI) at high and/or low pollutants concentrations from the soil by an ...

Soil depth has played a key role in the development of soil survey, implementation of soil-specific management and validation of hydrological models. Generally, soil depth at field scale is difficult to map due to complex ...

Current approaches for rapid assessment of carbon source utilization by whole soil communities (i.e., community-level physiological profiling or CLPP) provide a limited, biased view of microbial communities with little ...

Bioremediation proved to be an effective approach to deal with soil contamination, especially in isolated, cold environments such as Antarctica. Biostimulation, involving the addition of macronutrients -mainly nitrogen and ...
