The 30 m resolution U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) crop data layer (CDL) is a widely used type map for agricultural management and assessment, environmental impact food security. A finer can potentially reduce errors related to area estimation, field size characterization, precision agriculture activities that requires growth information at scales than field. This study develop method mapping using Sentinel-2 10 bands (i.e., red, green, blue, near-infrared) examine the benefit derived...
Highlights Denitrifying woodchip bioreactors treat nitrate-N in a variety of applications and geographies. This review focuses on subsurface drainage bed-style designs (including in-ditch). Monitoring reporting recommendations are provided to advance bioreactor science engineering. Abstract. enhance the natural process denitrification practical way nitrate-nitrogen (N) N-laden water matrices. The design construction for treatment U.S. is guided by USDA-NRCS Conservation Practice Standard...
The emergence of precision agriculture technologies has brought forward new opportunities and challenges in the agricultural sector. We delve into role living labs as dynamic platforms for fostering responsible innovation agriculture. highlight our early experiences regarding processes best practices by which an interdisciplinary research team uses a methodological approach to design test trustworthy PA innovation. Our methodology is composed five interrelated activities: (a) face-to-face...
Water quality and quantity are strongly influenced by land use cover, with impervious surfaces serving as a key indicator of watershed health. Increased imperviousness alters hydrology, shifting it from infiltration-dominant to runoff-dominant, leading reduced groundwater recharge, higher runoff, increased peak discharge, channel enlargement. In the United States, policy regarding stormwater management is predominantly focused on towns populations greater than 10,000. However, any increase...
Abstract. Excess nutrients from agricultural settings contribute to surface water and groundwater impairment. Constructed wetlands have been widely used for quality protection in various systems. We a synthesis approach document the performance of constructed nutrient removal range landscapes geographic regions with following objectives: (1) review current use applications, (2) summarize efficiency wetlands, (3) identify usage costs associated wetlands. reviewed over 130 publications reports...
Abstract The use of intelligent decision support systems (DSS) in precision farming provides an opportunity to improve agricultural recommendations and reduce the impacts agriculture on environment. Despite benefits offered by DDS, many farmers remain skeptical using these hardware software tools, their adoption rates have remained low. A survey 312 South Dakota examined barriers opportunities for engagement with DSS. Exploratory factor analysis was used analyze 13 Likert scale items that...
Abstract Conservation agriculture and associated soil health practices potentially enhance resilience by improving the soil's physical, chemical, biological properties processes. This study assessed impact of tillage (conventional [CT] no‐till [NT]); crop rotation: 2‐year corn ( Zea mays L.)–soybean Glycine max L.), 3‐year corn–soybean–oat Avena sativa 4‐year corn–soybean–oat–wheat Triticum aestivum L.)]; cover crops (cover [CC] no [NC]); drainage (tile [TD] without [ND]) on organic matter...
Abstract Plant nursery runoff commonly contains pesticides and nutrients that often threaten aquatic ecosystems. Constructed wetlands could be a tool to remove from but have not been extensively studied in this setting. Two field‐scale constructed (one subsurface‐flow wetland [SFCW] one free‐surface [FSCW]) were implemented monitored for water quality improvement. The SFCW demonstrated significant mass reduction of 78% or greater nitrate, orthophosphate, total nitrogen, phosphorus, suspended...
Tillage practices alter soil surface structure that can be potentially captured by satellite images with both high spatial and temporal resolution. This study explored tillage practice mapping using the daily Planet Fusion reflectance (PF-SR) gap-free 3 m data generated fusing PlanetScope Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 MODIS data. The area is a 220 × km2 agricultural in South Dakota, USA, used 3285 PF-SR from September 1, 2020 to August 31, 2021. for surveyed 433 fields were sliced into 10,747...
We examine the interactions, decisions, and evaluations of an interdisciplinary team researchers tasked with developing artificial intelligence-based agricultural decision support system that can provide farmers site-specific information about managing nutrients on their land. answer following research questions: (1) How does a relational perspective help conceptualize 'responsibility' in project develops precision agriculture (PA)? (2) What are some lessons for embarking similar technology...
Winter rye (Secale cereale L.) is an important cover crop (CC) in the northern Great Plains (NGP), yet concerns over its establishment under variable weather conditions of this region are limitation for widespread adoption. This study evaluated impacts no-till corn (Zea mays L.)-soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation with winter CC established 2017 on (a) water quality (nitrate-N [NO3- -N], ammonia-N [NH4+ and total nitrogen [TN]) (b) soil health parameters at 0-to-15-cm depth. Data...
Abstract As global and local populations surge climate change continue to disrupt surface groundwater reservoirs, the urgent need arises explore additional sources. Ensuring sustainable management necessitates efficient identification of high-potential zones meet escalating water demands. This study aims delineate potential in Faisalabad District, Pakistan, utilizing a cost-effective geoelectrical resistivity survey method. Apparent data was collected using Schlumberger electrode...

Artificial rain, a technology primarily used for drought relief, has recently been combating regional air pollution. However, there are limited available measurement data to confirm the effectiveness of this control practice. In study, we summarize theories and indirect but relevant observations/findings, including pollutant reduction after natural rain events roadside sprinkling. A brief review artificial basics is also provided. Our work shows that appears be promising management strategy...
