Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2021 Water retentionx is considered an important characteristic for determining the efficiency and effectiveness of soils and greenhouse substrates. Surfactants have the potential to improve water infiltration and distribution uniformity throughout the soil ...

Boreal Sand Hills are Areas of High Diversity for Boreal Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Diversity, 2019 The boreal forest in Canada comprises a wide variety of ecosystems, including stabilized (overgrown) sand dunes, often referred to as sand hills. Globally, sandy soils are known for supporting a high diversity of invertebrates, including ants, but little

The effects of soil moisture, soil texture, and host orientation on the ability of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) to infect Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) demonstrate potential as a biological control for soil dwelling insects. However, edaphic factors, such as soil moisture and texture impact the efficacy of EPN on a host. The objectives were to examine the effects of soil

Influence of variables related to soil weathering on the geomechanical performance of tropical soils
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023 This paper presents an experimental and analytical investigation of the influence of variables related to soil weathering on the geomechanical performance of sand-silt mixtures containing lateritic soils, i.e.

Sand fraction is not suitable for forensic investigations in subtropical soils [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2020 Most of the forensic comparison of soils has focused on the clay and silt fractions at the expense of the coarser particles. This study aimed to test the potential of elemental and physical analyses in the sand fraction from subtropical soils to ...

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2017 Clayey soils often exhibit undesirable engineering behaviour such as low strength, swelling and shrinkage characteristics etc. To improve these properties, the common method followed is stabilization. An experimental program carried out in this study aims to highlight the physical mechanisms of stabilization of an expansive soil by adding an inert ...

A modification of the mixed form of Richards equation and its application in vertically inhomogeneous soils [PDF]
, 2011 Recently, new soil data maps were developed, which include vertical soil properties like soil type. Implementing those into a multilayer Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere-Transfer (SVAT) scheme, discontinuities in the water content occur at the interface ...
