Interdecadal Changes in the Freeze Depth and Period of Frozen Soil on the Three Rivers Source Region in China from 1960 to 2014 by Siqiong Luo, Xuewei Fang, Shihua Lyu, Qi Jiang, Jingyuan Wang

“…The freeze duration also experienced an accelerated decrease. (3) The freeze depth and period were strongly affected by air temperature, thawing index, and soil moisture (precipitation), but not by snow. The freeze depth, freeze first date, freeze last date, and duration also influenced each other. (4) These decreasing trends in freeze depth and duration are expected to continue given the increasing trends in air temperature and precipitation in this region.…”

PREDICTING SOIL WATER CONTENTS UNDER SEMI-ARID CLIMATE by Khalid Ahmed, Ahmed Saeed, Ghazwan Dahham, Mahmoud Rafik

“…The data was analyzed by using the Design Expert program and the results showed a significant effect for type of irrigation system and soil tillage system in soil water content. The soil moisture content starts to increase gradually in all tillage methods until the end of the growing season and reaches to 20.14% in 20 cm depth after the final irrigation stages of the growing, soil water content depends on the type of plowing methods which reflects the way manipulation of the soil layers and as a result facilitate water irrigation to penetrate soil layers, some treatment recorded (21.04%) and other recorded (19.13%). …”

Preliminary Results of the Kuznetsk Coal Basin Cover Deposits Radon Hazard Assessment by Timofey Leshukov, Konstantin Legoshchin, Elizaveta Baranova, Aleksey Larionov

“…Our study shows that local variations in the physical properties of the soil are insignificant and do not have a significant effect on the RAC in the soil gas of the Kuznetsk coal basin, with the exception of soil moisture. High values of RAC in the territory considered as conditionally background, in the absence of pre-Cenozoic faults, suggest other causes (the presence of the latest Neogene–Quaternary faults, high concentrations of ²²⁶Ra, or other insufficiently studied causes). …”

Research Progress on a Wide and Narrow Row Cropping System for Crops by Liqun Tang, Jian Song, Yongtao Cui, Honghuan Fan, Jianjun Wang

“…This study reviews the development and implementation of WNRC technology, focusing on its effects on crop growth, development, and environmental optimization. (1) Crop growth and environmental optimization: Modifying the row spacing in WNRC enhances light interception, air circulation, and the soil moisture distribution, creating an optimized growth environment that improves the photosynthetic efficiency and water use. (2) Genetic variation and yield performance: The performance of different crop varieties in WNRC systems varies, with specific varieties showing better adaptation to the altered spatial arrangement, leading to improved growth uniformity and higher yields. (3) Weed management: The planting density is optimized, reducing the need for herbicides and fostering more sustainable weed control methods. (4) Efficient input management: WNRC systems enhance the uniform application of fertilizers and pesticides, optimizing nutrient uptake, minimizing input wastage, and lowering the environmental impact. …”
