Deep soil moisture constitutes a critical component of hydrological processes in the Loess Plateau, playing an essential role in sustaining vegetation growth, maintaining ecosystem stability, and ...

Out-of-bag (OOB) importance analysis was applied to extract feature variables. The nonlinear model random forest (RF) outperforms the linear model for soil water content retrieval. The coupled OOB and ...

Abstract: Soil moisture Content is an essential entity for plant growth and has a direct impact on crop yield. Traditional moisture estimation methods involve Gravimetric method, Water balance ...

In the paper, researchers explored how construction on Mars could one day rely entirely on local resources. Their solution involves turning Martian regolith, the planet’s loose, rocky soil, into ...

Abstract: Because of its significant absorption power, particularly in the SWIR optical region (e.g., absorption features around 1400 and 1900 nm), water dominates the optical reflectance properties ...
