Bulk density of forested mineral soils. [PDF]
Relationships between bulk density and organic matter (OM) content, textural properties and depth are described for forested mineral soils from Central and Northern Finland. Core samples were taken of 0â5, 30â35 and 60â65 cm layers at 75 plots. Three measures of bulk density were calculated: the bulk density of the < 20 mm fraction (BD), the bulk ...

Considering the soil compaction status on logging areas in a Hyrcanian forest
This paper deals with the issue of soil compaction during timber harvesting operations on cutting areas. Soil compaction was assessed following the logging operation in Darabkola forest area by measuring soil bulk density.

Soil compaction caused by 450C Timber Jack wheeled skidder (Shefarood forest, northern Iran)
In forest harvesting operations usually after using skidding machinery (skidders), traces of soil damage in the form of soil compaction and wheel and logs ruts can be seen in the forest soil. Soil bulk density, which represents soil compaction, decreases

Effects of Wetting-drying Cycles on Bulk Density and Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Soils
【Objective】 Changes in density and hydraulic conductivity of soil not only modulate subsurface hydrological processes but also affect root growth and root uptake of water and nutrients from soil.

Saturated Soil Hydraulic Conductivity is not Constant But Varies with the Time It is Measured
【Background and objective】 Saturated soil hydraulic conductivity (KS) is an important parameter characterizing the ability of soil to conduct water. It is often assumed to depend on soil structure and is hence constant for a given soil.

Deriving regional pedotransfer functions to estimate soil bulk density in Austria
Soil bulk density is a required variable for quantifying stocks of elements in soils and is therefore instrumental for the evaluation of land-use related climate change mitigation measures. Our motivation was to derive a set of pedotransfer functions for
