The Lagos State Government has announced plans to complete over 14,000 housing units by 2026 as part of its broader strategy to address the state’s housing deficit and expand access to affordable ...

While manure can be a good source of carbon to add to your soil, it can take years to break down. It is not recommended that you add fresh manure to an existing garden plot, so instead, compost it ...

About 45% of water in soils is available for plants to take up, she says, but soils with good microbial life, especially mycorrhizal fungi, are able to access roughly 25% more water held by the soil.

This shift in soil structure promotes better nutrient absorption and water retention, making the soil more hospitable for plant roots. After 50 cycles, the researchers observed a 6.8% increase in soil ...

Generally, soils with lower maximum airspace potential are more water efficient as they retain more moisture. Comparing a soil mix with a 35% maximum airspace potential to one with a 25% maximum ...

LOBIE founder and hair expert Anastasia MacKay breaks down hydrophobic hair: how to moisturize it, build an effective routine, and more.

A China dataset of soil properties for land surface modeling (version 2, CSDLv2) This dataset maps 23 soil physical, chemical, and fertility properties at six standard depth layers (0-5, 5-15, 15-30, ...

Furthermore, the organic compounds in the sludge enhance the stability of soil aggregates, increasing the total soil porosity able of retaining water (Sharma et al. 2017). This study compared the ...

The research carried out by the University of Nottingham demonstrated ploughed soils had a greater soil porosity (16% vs 12%) and larger pore size (0.84mm/sq m vs 0.49/sq m) compared to zero ...

1. Soil Condition Assessment: It helps assess the condition of the soil, particularly its porosity and compaction, which can have a direct impact on the stability of foundations. 2.
