Abstract:
... Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) can help observe the initiation and evolution of localized shear planes in both rock and soil slopes, and has temporal and spatial resolutions suitable for landslide monitoring. An improved and standardized technical guide for TDR cable installation and data interpretation is needed to utilize it better. TDR technique involves sending an electromagnetic pulse into a ...

Abstract:
... Plant–animal interactions may facilitate biological invasions. The African grass Urochloa decumbens is an aggressive invader in the Cerrado. We demonstrate that native ants are dispersing the seeds to short distances, allowing the gradual spread of the invasive to sites without the need of great anthropogenic soil disturbances. Abstract in Portuguese is available with online material. ...

Abstract:
... With the rapid development of remote sensing (RS) technology, remote sensing images provide an important data basis for soil type mapping. In remote sensing images, temporal factor is difficult to obtain directly, and the rich geometric features are not used adequately. Multi-temporal remote sensing data could effectively reflect the temporal variation of ground objects, while how to extract multi ...
