2023: a soil odyssey–HeAted soiL-Monoliths (HAL-Ms) to examine the effect of heat emission from HVDC underground cables on plant growth

This experimental design could serve as a low-cost, fast and reliable standard for investigating thermal issues related to various soil compositions and types, precipitation regimes and crop plants affected by similar projects. Beyond our research question, the HAL-M technique could serve as a link between pot and field trials with the advantages of both approaches. This method could enrich many research areas with the aim of controlling natural soil and plant conditions.
