Terrain traversability is critical for developing Go/No-Go maps for ground vehicles, which significantly impact a mission's success. To predict the mobility of terrain, one must understand the soil characteristics. In-situ measurements performed in t...
Visible near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VNIR) and hyperspectral images (HSI) have their respective advantages in soil carbon content prediction, and the effective fusion of VNIR and HSI is of great significance for improving the prediction ac...

The purpose is to study the soil's water-soluble organic matter and improve the utilization rate of the soil layer. This exploration is based on the theories of three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, deep learning, and biochar. Chernozem in Har...
BACKGROUND: Tea is an important economic crop in Yunnan, and the market price of premium teas such as Lao Banzhang is significantly higher than ordinary teas. For planting lands to promote, the tea industry to develop and minority lands' economies to...
Plant roots influence many ecological and biogeochemical processes, such as carbon, water and nutrient cycling. Because of difficult accessibility, knowledge on plant root growth dynamics in field conditions, however, is fragmentary at best. Minirhiz...
Wheels play an important role in mobile robotics, wheelchairs and vehicles and represent an ideal solution for traversing rigid ground due to higher efficiency. Through traversing loose soil, the rigid wheels lose traction because of sinking and high...
The saturated hydraulic conductivity, k, is a crucial variable to describe the hydromechanical behavior of soils. The value of k of lateritic soils that are typically found in tropical regions is highly affected by the soil's structure, void ratio, a...
For economical and sustainable benefits, conventional retaining walls are being replaced by geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS). However, for safety and quality assurance purposes, prior tests of pullout capacities of these materials need to be perfor...
