Soil compaction caused by 450C Timber Jack wheeled skidder (Shefarood forest, northern Iran)

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2007
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

Control of pore geometry in soil microcosms and its effect on the growth and spread of Pseudomonas and Bacillus sp. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Simplified experimental systems, often referred to as microcosms, have played a central role in the development of modern ecological thinking on issues ranging from competitive exclusion to examination of spatial resources and competition mechanisms ...

Saturated Soil Hydraulic Conductivity is not Constant But Varies with the Time It is Measured

open access: yesGuan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021
【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.

Effect of the skid trail cross section and horizontal alignment on forest soil physical properties

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2017
Horizontal alignment and cross section characteristics of a skid trail in a ground-based skidding system including curves, wheel ruts and cross slope can impact on the forest soil.

Deriving regional pedotransfer functions to estimate soil bulk density in Austria

open access: yesDie Bodenkultur, 2021
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

Prospect and importance of green mulching on the soil status of tropical tasar plantation fields in India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The soils of tropical tasar plantation fields in general are sloppy and are primarily deficient of nutrition due to top soil erosion and constant leaf productivity exploitation to rear tasar silk insect, Antheraea mylitta Drury.

Bulk Densities of Brazilian Amazon Soils Related to Other Soil Properties

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, 1998
Abstract The results of this study provide the first baseline for predicting D b from soil properties for soils across the Amazon basin. Bulk density values are needed to convert nutrient content and organic carbon (OC) content to weight of nutrient and ...

Soil Structure under Forest and Pasture Land-Uses Affecting Compressive Behavior and Air Permeability in a Subtropical Soil

open access: yesSoil Systems, 2022
Machinery traffic and animal trampling can deform the soil and, consequently, impair soil pore functioning. This study aimed to evaluate how soil structure affects the compressibility, physical properties and air permeability of a Typic Paleudalf under ...

Soil-Surface-Image-Feature-Based Rapid Prediction of Soil Water Content and Bulk Density Using a Deep Neural Network

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
This study aimed to develop a deep neural network model for predicting the soil water content and bulk density of soil based on features extracted from in situ soil surface images. Soil surface images were acquired using a Canon EOS 100d camera.
