Journal ArticleDOI
Aboveground and Root Decomposition of Cereal Rye and Hairy Vetch Cover Crops
Taylor Sievers,Rachel L. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the aboveground and belowground decomposition and nutrient release of two cover crops, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) and cereal rye (Secale cereale L.), after termination with herbicides through a 16-week period during the cash crop growing season using litterbags and intact root cores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Trees and Grasses for Rhizoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Rachel L. Cook,Dean Hesterberg +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, there was little difference between grasses and trees with respect to average reduction of hydrocarbons for studies that compared planted treatments with a control, and grasses were more heavily represented in the literature and therefore demonstrated a wider range of effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of Compressive Strength of Concrete: Critical Comparison of Performance of a Hybrid Machine Learning Model with Standalone Models
TL;DR: The use of machine learning techniques to model quantitative composition–property relationships in concrete has received substantial attention in the past few years and this paper presents a meta-analyses of these techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atlantic forest tree species responses to silvicultural practices in a degraded pasture restoration plantation: From leaf physiology to survival and initial growth
Otávio Camargo Campoe,Cláudia Iannelli,José Luiz Stape,Rachel L. Cook,João Carlos T. Mendes,Rafael Vivian +5 more
TL;DR: Ecophysiological studies can help assess responses of native tree species to silvicultural practices and improve the understanding of processes that influence their establishment and growth, as well as provide a positive impact on the restoration plantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eucalyptus plantation effects on soil carbon after 20years and three rotations in Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized soil carbon stocks and change over two decades in 306 operational Eucalyptus plantations across a 1200-km gradient and found that soil carbon change tended to increase with precipitation during the dry season, and had weaker associations with soil order and mean annual temperature.
