Geophysical Techniques for Plant, Soil, and Root Research Related to Sustainability
The sustainable management of human activities, from production to waste dis-posal and the cycling of finite resources is one of the great challenges of research for the coming decades, stemming from societal needs and the growing awareness of environmental mechanisms.
Research on geophysical methods provides an inter-disciplinary approach to such challenges by addressing the need for techniques to assist in designing and moni-toring strategies for sustainability in agriculture and other environment-related sciences.
In the past few decades technological advances have produced new tools or have improved existing techniques for near-surface geophysical investigation in a ro-bust, cost-effective and non-invasive way. Experimental results have proved that soil physical properties thus detected and mapped can be used as a proxy of physical, chemical and biological features relevant for the appropriate management of soils, based on their behavior, spatial variability and time-dynamics..
