Spatial variability of soil bulk density and its controlling factors in an agricultural intensive area of Chengdu Plain, Southwest China

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
Soil bulk density is a basic but important physic soil property related to soil porosity, soil moisture and hydraulic conductivity, which is crucial to soil quality assessment and land use management.

Soil bulk density assessment in Europe

open access: yesAgriculture, Ecosystems and Environment
The topsoil Land Use and Cover Area frame Statistical survey (LUCAS) aims at collecting harmonised data about the state of soil health over the extent of European Union (EU). In the LUCAS 2018 survey, bulk density has been analysed for three depths, i.e., 0–10 cm = 6140 sites; 10–20 cm = 5684 sites and 20–30 cm =139 sites.

Modelling Soil Bulk Density using Data-Mining and Expert Knowledge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Data about the spatial variation of soil attributes is required to address a great number of environmental issues, such as improving water quality, flood mitigation, and determining the effects of the terrestrial carbon cycle. The need for a continuum of

Linking soil moisture status of winter sports pitches to measures of playing quality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A review of traction and hardness Performance Quality Standard tests highlighted significant relationships with soil and grass factors. Inadequate guidance to achieve test results through pitch management means that management practices can not focus on ...

Effects of Corn Straw Biochar, Soil Bulk Density and Soil Water Content on Thermal Properties of a Light Sierozem Soil [PDF]

open access: yesNature Environment and Pollution Technology, 2023
This research aimed to quantify the effects of biochar derived from corn straw on soil thermal conductivity, capacity, and diffusivity. Firstly, the amount of biochar application (w/w) added to light sierozem soil was 0% to 5%, and the mixtures were ...

The Recovery of Soils after Compaction: A laboratory investigation into the effect of wet/dry cycles on bulk density and soil hydraulic functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Van den Akker et al. (2003) stated that “European subsoils are more threatened than ever in history” in an editorial referring to the results of the European Union concerted action “Experiences with the impact of subsoil compaction on soil crop growth ...

Study on Soil Erosion Law of Highway Spoil Ground [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
In this study, a typical spoil ground was selected in the test area, and runoff plots were set up. Through rainfall tests and statistical analysis of the data, the soil erosion law of the spoil ground was studied.

Pedotransfer Functions for Estimating Soil Bulk Density Using Image Analysis of Soil Structure

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Soil bulk density is one of the most important soil properties. When bulk density cannot be measured by direct laboratory methods, prediction methods are used, e.g., pedotransfer functions (PTFs).

The effects of forward speed and depth of conservation tillage on soil bulk density [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Machinery, 2015
Introduction: In recent years, production techniques and equipment have been developed for conservation of tillage systems that have been adopted by many farmers. With proper management, overall yield averages for conventional and reduced tillage systems
