Soil aggregate structure, stability, and stoichiometric characteristics in a smelter-impacted soil under phytoremediation

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Smelter-impacted soils often result in soil degradation and the destruction of the soil structure. Although soil aggregate typically plays a crucial role in soil structure, the influence of phytoremediation on soil aggregate structure stability and ...

Soil aggregation under different management systems [PDF]

, 2012
Considering that the soil aggregation reflects the interaction of chemical, physical and biological soil factors, the aim of this study was evaluate alterations in aggregation, in an Oxisol under no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT), since over ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphal networks and glomalin-related soil protein jointly promote soil aggregation and alter aggregate hierarchy in Calcaric Regosol

Geoderma
The Loess Plateau of China (LPC) is one of the most severely eroded areas in the arid and semi-arid regions of northern China. Improving soil aggregate stability and hierarchy in Calcaric Regosol is vital for mitigating soil erosion.

Drip Irrigation at a Soil Water Suction of 30 kPa Helps AMF and GRSP to Enhance Greenhouse Macro-Aggregates

Agronomy, 2023
Drip irrigation is fundamental in water-saving agricultural greenhouses, especially in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) greenhouses. However, a long-term drip irrigation has been observed to be associated with soil degradation, concerning both soil ...

The Influence of Microbiology on Soil Aggregation Stability

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract In the present study, this work investigated the effects of bacteria (Bacillus sp.) decay and biological aggregating factors (organic matter, microbial calcium carbonate precipitation) at various steps on soil aggregate stability. Experiments carried out at different cultivation time 2, 5, and 8 weeks.

Gas Displacement and Aggregate Stability of Soils [PDF]

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1985
Abstract When surface soils are dry, O 2 and N 2 are adsorbed on the external mineral surfaces. In the process of wetting the soil, water molecules displace the adsorbed O 2 and N

Pyramidal Structures on Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia after High Temperature Exposure at 1500°C: New Features on an Old Material

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...
