THE TRUE SOIL SOLUTION

Computing True Alternatives and not only a Single Best Solution

Recovering phosphorus from soil: a root solution?

value of the current global soil P resource is appreciating the range of complexed P forms in soil and their specific issues for crop P accessibility. Soil organic P is especially poorly considered in terms of amounts and future utility. Learning to better utilize all of the different residual P forms in soil is essential to providing a sustainable cycle between agricultural inputs and plant up...

Modeling Soil Solution, Mineral Formation and Weathering

Simulation models are valuable tools to increase understanding of complex soil chemical processes. Initially modeling was restricted by limited computational power; thus, complex natural systems were often simulated with site-specific, regression-based models. These models (classified as functional models by Hoosbeek & Bryant, 1992) do not deal with the actual processes but were designed to sim...

Effects of Solution and Soil Chemistry on the Distribution of Oil Residual in Patagonian Soil

The distribution coefficient of oil residuals between water and the soil under equilibrium conditions is, in the case of Patagonian soils, strongly dependent on the clay contents and humidity of the soil. Other variables such as, the soil salinity and the environmental exposure conditions, also affect the interactions between the phases. The oil residuals are generally accompanied by water spil...

From single neuron-firing to consciousness--towards the true solution of the binding problem.

The human brain consists of millions of neural nerve cells being interconnected and firing in parallel in order to process information. A fundamental question is how this parallel neuron-firing can result in a unified experience. This is the so-called binding problem--a problem that is one of today's key questions about brain function and that has puzzled researchers for decades. This article g...
