Effect of Soil Physical State on the Earthworms in Hungary by Marta Birkas, Laszlo Bottlik, Attila Stingli, Csaba Gyuricza, Márton Jolánkai

“…Negative impacts that definitely depend on farming include land use causing soil moisture loss, deep stubble treatment leaving the soil without cover, and ploughing in the summer without subsequent pressing. …”

The success of reforestation after experimental strip-shelterwood felling in the pine stands of the Eastern Polissia of Ukraine by Anatolyi Zhezhkun

“…The best way to promote natural regeneration is to make ploughed furrows. The share of soil mineralization should be more than 60% of the plot area. …”

Wire-arc directed energy deposition of martensitic stainless steel hardfacing alloy: Microstructure and abrasion wear resistance by Alireza Khaghani, Majid Pouranvari

“…However, enhancing the toughness of the hardfacing through an appropriate post-deposition tempering process shifts the wear mechanism from micro-cutting/micro-cracking to micro-ploughing, leading to a significant improvement in wear resistance. …”

Material Removal Mechanism of Green Machining on Powder Metallurgy Parts during Orthogonal Cutting by Dayong Yang, Longsheng Lu, Zhenping Wan

“…This model shows that the material removal of PM is composed of particle shearing deformation, peeling, and ploughing/extruding. Finally, this machining model was validated through observations of machined surface morphology and chip morphology.…”

Olericulture No-Till System at Mountain Region: Physical and Biological Attributes of the Soil by Laura Vaillant Ribeiro Mauri, Eduardo de Sá Mendonça, Lenita Julia Bolzan, Maria da Penha Angeletti

“…The production of vegetables and grains by the family farming in the mountains of the Atlantic Forest is characterized by intensive soil management with ploughing and harrowing practices. These practices are promoting hydric erosion and losses of soil quality in the region. …”

Wear Properties of TiC-Reinforced Co50 Composite Coatings from Room Temperature to High Temperature by Nga Thi-Hong Pham, Van-Thuc Nguyen

“…At room temperature, the wear mechanism of the coating is mainly brittle spalling, adhesive wear, and ploughing. At 700°C, the wear mechanism is mostly oxidation wear and fatigue wear. …”

Tillage and residue management modulate the links between soil physical signatures and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biomarkers by Stamatios Thomopoulos, Lars Juhl Munkholm, Lars Elsgaard, Sabine Ravnskov

“…The impact of tillage intensity (direct sowing, harrowing, moldboard ploughing) was assessed in combination with residue management (retention or removal) across two soil depths (0–10 and 10–20 cm) and two experimental sites. …”
