4 years of 0-40cm Soil Moisture Percentile data from NASA on Oct 21.

A study led by CABBI Co-PI Marshall McDaniel tested Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Health Principles, providing scientific evidence for their usefulness as indicators of positive soil health change. The study serves as a step toward evidence-based soil conservation. 📰 acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sa…

Happy Halloween!

Dean Bollero soiled his undies!? Dean Bollero took part in the "I Soiled My Undies" challenge after being invited by the Champaign County Farm Bureau! Join the fun and bury your undies 😉 Read more about the challenge: aces.illinois.edu/news/aces-dean…

Strategies to quantify and reduce N2O emissions from crops focus on N fertilizer management. Here we show that ~40% of N2O emissions from the most extensive cropping system in North America (maize/soybean rot) occur during the unfertilized soybean phase rdcu.be/dY9Hf .

I am happy to share that our newest paper is published! We developed an R package to provide support for precision agriculture applications. doi.org/10.1016/j.soft…
