Book Infrared Spectroscopy for Soil Carbon Accounting and Soil Quality Assessment

Download or read book Infrared Spectroscopy for Soil Carbon Accounting and Soil Quality Assessment written by Sonam Rinchen Sherpa and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of global food security and economic stability continue to raise increasing concern, as the human population and thus demand for agricultural resources are rising at an alarming rate, while the frequency of extreme weather events leading to drought, flooding, and heat stress are projected to increase. Furthermore, the impacts of climate change on crop productivity and water availability are already apparent, and if current trends of increasing atmospheric CO2 levels and land degradation persist, the stability of whole food systems could be at risk. Building soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for restoring degraded soils and enhancing soil health, as increasing SOC can reduce compaction, improve drainage and aeration, increase water holding and cation exchange capacity, and enhance nutrient cycling and fertility, thereby improving agronomic productivity and resource use efficiency in agroecosystems. Implementing soil management practices to build SOC can provide win-win opportunities for farmers and resource managers, resulting in improved soil health, increased fertilizer use efficiency, and increased resiliency to drought and heat stress, while serving to mitigate climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon. However, the excessive sampling and analysis costs required to measure baseline levels and monitor changes in soil quality, currently limits our ability to establish effective policies for incentivizing sustainable soil management practices. Mid infrared (MIR) and visible and near infrared (VNIR) spectroscopy have been proposed as accurate and low cost options for predicting multiple soil quality indicators, and may be capable of meeting current needs of a low cost reliable method for quantifying soil quality and SOC. In this dissertation, I explore potential applications for MIR and VNIR spectroscopy by developing and testing low-cost, reliable measurement-based approaches for quantifying soil quality and SOC at farm-to-regional scales. Both VNIR and MIR spectroscopy successfully predicted SOC and other soil quality indicators with an acceptable level of accuracy often comparable to that of standard wet chemistry methods for soil assessment, yet measurement costs for both VNIR and MIR predictions was roughly an order of magnitude less than standard wet chemistry methods.

Book Near Infrared Technology

Download or read book Near Infrared Technology written by Phil Williams and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine an analytical technique that uses no chemicals, gives accurate and precise results in minutes or even continuously, and is simple to install and safe to use. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) supplies this dream. This book covers all of the essential features for successful NIRS application in a practical and easily understandable format. The driving force behind compiling this book is to provide knowledge on all aspects of NIRS to potential users, and to users who would like to delve a little deeper into the technology. We have assembled the book, mainly to help in the application of near-infrared (NIR) instruments and technology in industry.

Book Water  Radiation  Salt  and Other Stresses

Download or read book Water Radiation Salt and Other Stresses written by J. Levitt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responses of Plants to Environmental Stresses, Second Edition, Volume II: Water, Radiation, Salt, and Other Stresses focuses on the effects of stresses on plants. This book discusses how stresses produce their damaging effects and how living organisms defend themselves against stresses. Organized into six parts encompassing 12 chapters, this edition starts with an overview of the various responses of plants to the severities of all the other environmental stresses, with emphasis on the physical and biological stresses and strains. This text then describes water stress in plants, which arise either from an excessive or from an insufficient water activity in the plant's environment. Other chapters consider the resistance to drought stress of plants. This book discusses as well the effects of flooding, which replaces gaseous air by liquid water. The final chapter deals with the comparative stress responses of plants. This book is a valuable resource for plant biologists.

Book Infrared Spectroscopy as a Tool for Monitoring Oil Degradation

Download or read book Infrared Spectroscopy as a Tool for Monitoring Oil Degradation written by JP. Coates and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxidative and thermal degradation of lubricating oils are complex processes. While the fundamental chain reaction mechanisms are known, the actual chemistry of a formulation involving several additives still remains a gray area. An understanding of some of the additive interactions and their degradation pathways will ultimately lead to a more scientific approach to formulation optimization for a given application. Current methodology involves laboratory bench tests as a screening mechanism before the more expensive mechanical tests are used for the evaluation of a final lubricant formulation. This is particularly the case for automotive and gas turbine lubricants. The chemistry linking the bench test and the mechanical tests to the oil formulation are rarely considered.

Book Applications of Infrared Spectroscopy in Biochemistry  Biology  and Medicine

Download or read book Applications of Infrared Spectroscopy in Biochemistry Biology and Medicine written by Frank Parker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not intended to be a basic text in infrared spectroscopy. Many such books exist and I have referred to them in the text. Rather, I have tried to find applications that would be interesting to a variety of people: advanced undergraduate chemistry students, graduate students and research workers in several disciplines, spectros copists, and physicians active in research or in the practice of medicine. With this aim in mind there was no intent to have exhaustive coverage of the literature. I should like to acknowledge my use of several books and reviews, which were invaluable in my search for material: G. H. Beaven, E. A. Johnson, H. A. Willis and R. G. 1.
