Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy of Sandy Soil Containing Cl-, SO42- and HCO3-
International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2021 Based on orthogonal experiments, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to study the characteristics of sandy soils containing Cl-, SO42- and HCO3-, and the universality of the equivalent circuit was also studied. The influence of Cl-, SO42- and

Comparison of indices for the prediction of nitrogen mineralization after destruction of managed grassland [PDF]
, 2010 Intensively managed grasslands are occasionally chemically killed with herbicide and ploughed in order to grow an arable crop. After this management, large N mineralization rates with large losses to the environment are commonly observed.

Effects of clayish and sandy soils on the growth of Prosopis argentina and P. alpataco seedlings
Ecología Austral, 2000 Prosopis alpataco Burk. and P. argentina Phil. occupy areas with different soil characteristics within the arid zone of Argentina. Prosopis alpataco occurs in periodically flooded, clayish and saline soils, whereas P. argentina occurs in non-saline sand

Characterization of active layer water contents in the McMurdo Sound region, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2010 The liquid soil water contents in the seasonally thawed layer (active layer) were characterized from seven soil climate monitoring sites - four coastal sites from south to north (Minna Bluff, Scott Base, Marble Point and Granite Harbour), and inland ...

Thermal conductivity of a sandy soil [PDF]
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2016 The thermal properties of soils are of great importance in many thermo-active ground structures such as energy piles and borehole heat exchangers. In this paper the effect of the porosity and degree of saturation on the thermal conductivity of a sandy soil that has not been previously thermally tested is investigated using steady state experimental ...

Organic matter and biofunctioning in tropical sandy soils and implications for their management [PDF]
, 2005 Tropical sandy soils (or upper sandy horizons of tropical soils) have diverse physical and chemical constraints: poor structural stability (making soils sensitive to crusting, and compaction), poor nutrient holding capacity and low cation exchange ...
