Bulk Densities of Brazilian Amazon Soils Related to Other Soil Properties
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 ...

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

Predicting soil bulk density for incomplete databases
Abstract Soil bulk density (ρb) is important because of its direct effect on soil properties (e.g., porosity, soil moisture availability) and crop yield. Additionally, ρb measurements are needed to express soil organic carbon (SOC) and other nutrient stocks on an area basis (kg ha− 1).
