1. The Ultimate Soil Survey in One Pass: Soil Texture, Organic Matter, pH, Elevation, Slope, and CurvatureThe goal of accurately mapping soil variability preceded GPS-aided agriculture, and has been a challenging aspect of precision agriculture since its inception. Many studies have found the range of spatial dependence is shorter than the distances used in most grid sampling. Other studies have examined variability within government soil surveys and concluded that they have limited utility in many precision applications. Proximal soil sensing has long been envisioned as a method... E. Lund, C. Maxton, G. Kweon |
2. A Data Fusion Method for Yield and Soil Sensor MapsUtilizing yield maps to their full potential has been one of the challenges in precision agriculture. A key objective for understanding patterns of yield variation is to derive management zones, with the expectation that several years of quality yield data will delineate consistent productivity zones. The anticipated outcome is a map that shows where soil productive potentials differ. In spite of the widespread usage of yield monitors, commercial agriculture has found it difficult... E. Lund, C.

3. Measuring Soil Carbon with Intensive Soil Sampling and Proximal Profile SensingSoils have a large carbon storage capacity and sequestering additional carbon in agricultural fields can reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change. Efforts are underway to incentivize agricultural producers to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in their fields using various conservation practices. These practices and the increased SOC provide important additional benefits including improved soil health, water quality and – in some cases –... E. Lund, T. Lund, C. Maxton |
