Abstract Predicting water retention is difficult for highly aggregated volcanic soils (Andisols) with heterogeneous pore size distribution. This paper aimed to examine how andic materials influence soil water retention based on soil composition. We compiled the data of water retention in the soils from literature with physicochemical properties and ...

Calcium sulfate ameliorates the effect of aluminum toxicity differentially in genotypes of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) [PDF]
The effect of gypsum (CaSO 4) amendment in the reduction of Al phytotoxicity of blueberry cultivars differing in Al resistance (Legacy and Brigitta, Al-resistant and Bluegold, Al-sensitive) was studied in a Hoagland's nutrient solution under acidic ...

Abstract Frost heave and thaw settlement driven by freeze‐thaw cycles in seasonally frozen soils of cold regions are strongly related to water migration. A key parameter controlling water migration in frozen soils is the hydraulic conductivity, which predominantly governs the movement of water under thermal and hydraulic gradients.

Evaluación de la repelencia al agua de algunos Andisols de Antioquia bajo cobertura de Pinus patula
En 115 hectáreas de Andisols bajo cobertura de Pinus panda de la quebrada Piedras Blancas, se encontró repelencia severa al agua en capas con espesores entre 4 y 12 centímetros, sueltas, secas y minerales, distribuídas en parches.

Can biochar ameliorate phosphorus deficiency and aluminium phytotoxicity in acid soils? : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Applied Science in Soil Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The use of biochar as soil amendment to enhance soil functionality is being increasingly investigated, with particular attention given to its effects on the sustainable increase of crop production and carbon (C) sequestration. To date, however, limited

Afterlife effects of invasive wasp nests on ecosystem functioning
Abstract Legacy effects, defined as persistent ecological impacts after a species extirpation or cessation of activity, can significantly influence ecosystem structure and function. While extensively studied in plant invasions, legacy effects of invasive animals may differ and remain largely unexplored. We assessed the afterlife effects of subterranean

AI as a Catalyst for Cross‐Disciplinary Breakthroughs in Soil Carbon Sequestration Research
ABSTRACT AI models have been proposed for generating scientific hypotheses; thus, our aim was to test their ability to drive novel research in soil science. We used an AI multiagent platform to generate research ideas for (innovative) practices capable of increasing Mineral‐Associated Organic Carbon (MAOC) in soils. We assigned the AI multiagent system

Pengaruh Terak Baja dan Bokashi Sekam Padi terhadap Sifat Fisika Tanah pada Andisol [PDF]
Andisols are considered as productive soils, but their P-retention have to be reduced to increase the available P. This research concerning the remediation of Andisols with steel slag and bokashi of husk to overcome the P problem and to investigate ...

Chemical nature of residual phosphorus in Andisols
Sequential fractionation has been widely used to study the nature and dynamics of soil P. Residual P – the recalcitrant P fraction remaining after sequential extraction with alkali and acid reagents – often constitutes the majority of the soil P, yet its nature and bioavailability is poorly understood.
