Journal ArticleDOI
Kriging: a method of interpolation for geographical information systems
M. A. Oliver,Richard Webster +1 more
TL;DR: Kriging is the method of interpolation deriving from regionalized variable theory that depends on expressing spatial variation of the property in terms of the variogram, and it minimizes the prediction errors which are themselves estimated.
Book ChapterDOI
Cation exchange capacity and exchange coefficients.
M. E. Sumner,W. P. Miller +1 more
TL;DR: The origin of cation exchange capacity (CEC) lies in the negative charges carried by soil particles, usually clay, organic matter and sesquioxides as discussed by the authors, which fall into two distinct categories, being either permanent or variable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological intensification of cereal production systems: Yield potential, soil quality, and precision agriculture
TL;DR: It is concluded that major scientific breakthroughs must occur in basic plant physiology, ecophysiology, agroecology, and soil science to achieve the ecological intensification that is needed to meet the expected increase in food demand.
Journal ArticleDOI
World salinization with emphasis on Australia
TL;DR: Examining soil processes that dictate the exact edaphic environment upon which root functions depend and can help in research on plant improvement is examined.
Book ChapterDOI
Carbonate and Gypsum
TL;DR: Inorganic carbonate in soil occurs predominantly as the sparingly soluble alkaline-earth carbonates, calcite (CaCOs) and dolomite (caMg(CO,),), which is usually the dominant form in active pedogenic environments as mentioned in this paper.
