Sand Content of Sand‐Soil‐Peat Mixtures for Turfgrass

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1979
Abstract Soils subjected to intensive foot‐traffic in areas used for sports usually require modification in order to maintain physical properties conducive to turfgrass growth. Commonly this is achieved by mixing soil with large quantities of sand and often some peat.

Computer aided determination of proportion of sand in a soil

2015 23nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2015
Determination of soil texture has always been very important for agricultural researches. Since determination of proportions of sand, silt, and clay in a soil by traditional methods requires more effort, in this study, we focus on performing soil analysis by an automated computerized system.

Acoustic Absorption in Sand and Soil

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1948
The acoustic absorption properties of sand and soil with varying amounts of water, ranging from dry to saturated, have been investigated. In most of the work the frequency range was 10–30 kc, although data were obtained at as high as 150 kc. Two methods were used.

Phosphate Removal by Sands and Soils

Groundwater, 1977
ABSTRACT Phosphate retention by soils is especially important for tile fields and rapid infiltration systems near lakes where eutrophication is a problem. The use and application of the phosphate adsorption isotherm test to estimate a soil's phosphate removal ability will be discussed.

Of Sand or Soil

2015
Why do tribal genealogies matter in modern-day Saudi Arabia? What compels the strivers and climbers of the new Saudi Arabia to want to prove their authentic descent from one or another prestigious Arabian tribe? This book looks at how genealogy and tribal belonging have informed the lives of past and present inhabitants of Saudi Arabia and how the ...

Limed soils as a replacement for construction sand in stabilized sands

2015
ABSTRACT Sand is one of the main raw materials used in infrastructure and road construction. While it is a common natural raw material worldwide, the locations where it can be found are not evenly distributed. Natural sand can be extracted from the riverbed or from sandbanks in sea.

Multidirectional Movement of Chlorpyriphos in a Loamy Sand Soil

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2000
movement in horizontal and upward directions in the soil it may improve its chances of reaching the insect pest present in the soil. The pattern of movement of any insecticide, besides being controlled by its chemical nature, is also dependent upon the soil texture.

Soil microbial community of abandoned sand fields

Folia Microbiologica, 2002
Microbiological evaluation of sandy grassland soils from two different stages of secondary succession on abandoned fields (4 and 8 years old fallow) was carried out as a part of research focused on restoration of semi-natural vegetation communities in Kiskunság National Park in Hungary.

Comparison of soil and sediment properties of a loamy sand soil

Soil Technology, 1997
Abstract Ten 25 m 2 runoff plots at the Hilton experimental site, east Shropshire, UK, have been used to compare the physicochemical properties of loamy sand plot soils and sediment eroded from the plots over one year. Sediment contained more sand (2 mm–60 μm) and less clay ( 2 mm) than soil.
