The decomposition of a body is influenced by burial conditions, making it crucial to understand the impact of different conditions for accurate grave detection. Geophysical techniques using drones have gained popularity in locating clandestine graves, offering non-invasive methods for detecting surface …

The biodiversity in the Netherlands is at an all-time low, in 2020 this was at a level of 15% especially while compared to Europe’s average of 40%. The biggest cause for this is intensive agriculture and lack of livable space for a wide variety of plants and animals. In the agricultural sector this is …

The factors that can influence development, growth and agricultural production in quantity and quality are constantly being explored.High-value crops such as potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are good candidates for the adoption of precision agriculture due to their particularly high production costs. …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) prediction from remote sensing is often hindered by disturbing factors at the soil surface, such as photosynthetic active and non–photosynthetic active vegetation, variation in soil moisture or surface roughness. With the increasing amount of freely available satellite data, …

The quantification and identification of new plasmid-acquiring bacteria in representative mating conditions is critical to characterize the risk of horizontal gene transfer in the environment. This study aimed to quantify conjugation events resulting from manure application to soils and identify the …

Waterschap Scheldestromen is carrying out a particularly innovative project named Multiflexmeter (MFM), of which the objective is to look for ways to measure the soil resistance . This means some properties and characteristics of water needs to be researched on, such as the salinity and the corresponding …

Royal Eijkelkamp is a company in the Netherlands that specializes in soil improvement, soil conditions, water preservation, and agricultural research. The company has started an innovation platform in partnership with Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences that is named InnoFields. The InnoFields …

The sustainable provision of enough nutritious food for a growing world population is pushing the food system towards finding new approaches to agriculture (Ockenden, et al., 2017). While the demand of animal products is rising (Armanda, Guinée, & Tukker, 2019), the negative effect on the climate, soil, …

Plasmid-mediated dissemination of antibiotic resistance among fecal Enterobacteriaceae in natural ecosystems may contribute to the persistence of antibiotic resistance genes in anthropogenically impacted environments. Plasmid transfer frequencies measured under laboratory conditions might lead to overestimation …
