The Science Behind the 30-Day Rule: Wettable Sulphur and Oil-Based Sprays in Agriculture
Human ImpactThe 30-Day Rule: Why You Shouldn’t Mix Sulphur and Oil (and What Happens If You Do!) Okay, let’s talk about something every grower needs to know, whether you’re tending a sprawling orchard or just a few tomato plants on your balcony: the infamous “30-day rule.” Sounds a bit like a spy movie, right? But trust
Exploring the Viability of Greenhouse Construction Beyond Agricultural Land: A Study in Earth Science and Agriculture
Human ImpactRethinking Greenhouses: Growing Food Where You Least Expect It For ages, farming has been tied to wide-open fields. But let’s face it, the world’s changing fast. We’ve got more people, cities are gobbling up farmland, and the climate? Well, it’s anyone’s guess these days. So, how do we keep everyone fed? One intriguing answer: taking

Human ImpactQuantifying Road Emissions: Spatial Allocation and Unit Conversion in Earth Science Okay, let’s talk about something we all deal with, whether we realize it or not: road emissions. You see those cars, trucks, and buses zipping around? They’re a huge piece of the air pollution and greenhouse gas puzzle worldwide. And getting a handle on
Unveiling the Atmospheric Recirculation of Methylmercury: A Closer Look at Oceanic Reabsorption
Human ImpactMethylmercury’s Wild Ride: How the Ocean Gives Back What It Gets Mercury. It’s a name that conjures images of old thermometers and, for those in the know, a serious environmental headache. This heavy metal is constantly on the move, hitching rides between the air, land, and sea. And while we often think of the atmosphere
What’s the origin of particulate matter (pm10, pm2 5)
Human ImpactThe Invisible Threat: Let’s Talk About Particulate Matter (PM10 & PM2.5) Ever heard of particulate matter? Probably not, unless you’re an air quality nerd like me. But trust me, it’s something you should know about. Think of it as this invisible gunk floating around in the air, a mix of tiny solid bits and liquid
Understanding the Evolution of Rock Strength in Atmospheric Conditions: Implications for Earth Science and Geoengineering
Human ImpactGetting Started In the field of geoengineering and earth sciences, rock strength assessment is a critical factor in various engineering projects such as tunneling, mining, and slope stability analysis. Rock core samples obtained from boreholes are commonly used to evaluate the mechanical properties of rocks, including their strength. However, it is important to consider the
