Land surface temperature(LST) is the radiative skin temperature of the land derived from solar radiation. LST measures the emission of thermal radiance from the land surface where the incoming solar energy interacts with and heats the ground, or the surface of the canopy in vegetated areas. LST is a mixture of vegetation and bare soil temperatures. 2, record 1, English, - land%20surface%20temperature

[The] primary and secondary tillage operations normally performed in preparing a seedbed and/or cultivating for a given crop grown in a given geographical area, usually resulting in < 30% cover of crop residues remaining on the surface after completion of the tillage sequence. 5, record 2, English, - conventional%20tillage
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Conventional tillage incorporates or buries most of the crop residue into the soil. Typically this approach involves multiple passes in fields. The moldboard plow is often used first, followed by other implements. Since this method plows under much of the crop stubble, it leaves the surface relatively bare and without cover protection. 6, record 2, English, - conventional%20tillage

Le travail du sol classique consiste à incorporer par enfouissement la plupart [des] résidus au sol. Cette opération se fait généralement en plusieurs passages. Généralement, on passe d'abord la charrue à socs, puis d'autres instruments aratoires. Comme on se trouve à enfouir le gros des chaumes, la surface devient relativement nue, sans protection. 2, record 2, French, - travail%20du%20sol%20conventionnel

La situation la plus fréquente en matière de travail du sol conventionnel est de passer avec deux tracteurs.

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Soil erosion is the removal and loss of soil by water, ice, gravity, and wind. Water is the major culprit here in New England. The force of raindrops falling on bare or sparsely vegetated soil detaches soil particles(raindrop erosion). Water running along the ground surface picks up these particles and carries them along as it flows. 3, record 3, English, - rain%20erosion

Pollutants in particulate and gaseous forms may be deposited on the soil surface directly by processes of dry deposition. In the temperate zone, however, the ground surface is generally covered by plant canopies and, except in agricultural areas where bare soil may be exposed for a part of the year, the main receiving surface for dry-deposited pollutants is likely to be vegetation. 1, record 5, English, - dry%2Ddeposited%20pollutant
