Soil bulk density assessment in Europe
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]
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

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

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