Capability of Pocket Penetrometer to Evaluate Unconfined Compressive Strength of Baghdad Clayey Soil
مجلة النهرين للعلوم الهندسية, 2018 Unconfined compressive strength represents an important parameter for soil investigation report test results because the values of cohesion and allowable bearing capacity can directly obtained from the relevant test especially if the clayey soil layers ...

Moderate Fire Temperatures Affect the Structure of Clayey Oxisol Aggregates
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 8, Page 3169-3181, 15 May 2026.ABSTRACT Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and intense worldwide, raising concerns about their impacts on soil systems. However, the thermal responses of clay‐rich Oxisols, dominated by Fe and Al oxides, remain poorly understood. In this study, samples from the 0 to 5 cm layer of six Oxisols were subjected to controlled heating at ...

Internal Reflection Sensor for the Cone Penetrometer [PDF]
, 1998 The objectives of this project are to design, assemble, test, and demonstrate a prototype Internal Reflection Sensor (IRS) for the cone penetrometer. The sensor will ultimately be deployed during site characterization with the goal of providing real-time,

Portable penetrometer for agricultural soil: sensitivity test to identify critical compaction depth
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2010 To express the negative effects of soil compaction, some researchers use critical values for soil mechanical strength that severely impair plant growth. The aim of this study was to identify this critical compaction depth, to test the functionality of a ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Ecosystems around the world have experienced shifts in community state as a result of anthropogenic activities that alter important ecological feedbacks. On coral reefs, transitions to a state where fleshy macroalgae are a major space holder have often been associated with the loss of top‐down control, which frequently has been attributed to ...

Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa
Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2018 Offshore pipelines are exposed to potential submarine landslides. It is difficult to measure the impact forces exerted on a pipeline induced by submarine landslides because the upper seabed is very soft and an impact angle exists in practice.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

Analysis of Correlations between Cone Penetrometer and Pencel Pressuremeter Parameters
, 2013 PENCEL Pressuremeter and Cone Penetrometer tests were performed at two sites chosen in Florida. One of the sites was predominately clays and the second was sands. The study goal was to reveal that pushed-in PENCEL tests would produce reliable engineering

Soil physical quality index under long‐term organic no‐tillage management in central Ohio
Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Understanding how long‐term organic inputs and no‐tillage (NT) management influence soil physical quality (SPQ) is essential for sustainable agriculture. This study assessed the impacts of compost, manure, and cover cropping on the soil physical quality index (SPQi) after 27 years of NT management under a long‐term cropping system in central ...
