Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 21st IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (IEEE EEEIC21) is an international forum for the exchange of ideas and information on energy systems. The conference provides a unique opportunity for designers and people from industry to interact with manufacturers, energy utilities people, and university researchers and to discuss a wide variety of topics related to energy systems and environmental issues. Ever-increasing awareness of environmental concerns and intensive international efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and to foster a sustainable energy transition has stimulated the best contributions toward achieving the goals of renewable energy diversification and sustainable development. IEEE EEEIC 2021 is the 21st edition of the conference, which is one of Europe’s largest, longest-running professional networking and educational events. The conference has been co-sponsored by IEEE since 2008 and by EMCS, IAS, and PES since 2015.

Thank you very much!

Prof. Dr. Rodolfo Araneo
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This paper proposes a methodology for plant root system and soil moisture analysis through the geoelectrical prospecting method. Overall, bench and field experiments are implemented to analyze the behavior of electrical conductivity of the soil in relation to moisture content and plant root system growth. Specifically, Wenner array and lateral profiling technique are used to stratify the soil in horizontal layers, performing in-depth analysis. Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) are used to analyze the root system behavior. Results show that the soil water dynamics can be observed through soil stratification in horizontal layers and the plant root system is correlated with apparent electrical conductivity of the soil. Thus, geoelectric prospecting methods can be used as an analysis tool, both of soil moisture dynamics and of plant roots, to support decision making regarding soil and crop management. Full article
