Estimating soil bulk density with information metrics of soil texture [PDF]
Abstract Using the Shannon Information Entropy (IE) as a soil structure metric is proposed to analyze the effect of the particle size distribution (PSD) heterogeneity on soil bulk density values. A data base including 6239 soil samples from Florida is used.

Compactibility of cohesive soils from tablelands as influenced by cassava wastewater [PDF]
Consolidation tests give important insights into soil compactibility. However, it requires equipment that is not always available. The costal tablelands in Northeastern Brazil have extensive areas of cohesive soils where compaction is an expressive ...

Dynamics of physical properties of soils and humus reserves in salted soils under desertification
The dynamics of the physical properties and reserves of humus in saline soils of an arid semi-desert zone is presented. The basis for the research was observational data for 2010-2022. in a typical hilly landscape of the Astrakhan region. A grid of 100 ×

ON-STREAM SOIL DENSITY MEASURING
The article is focused on the determination of the nonlinear relationships between soil compaction, density, and water content. It was found that these properties can be described by the second-order models and used for improving devices for the on-stream soil density measuring.

Impact of Multiaxial Propulsion System of Machine-and-Tractor Units on Soil Density
Use of the powerful tractors as a part of the machine-and-tractor units (MTU) is limited to high impact of their propellers (deformers) on the soil. The increase in tractor weigh and the multiple MTU passes result in overconsolidation of the soil.

Observations on dynamics of foraging hole construction of two leaf-feeding, soil-inhabiting Syntermes species (insecta: Isoptera) in an Amazonian Rainforest, Brazil [PDF]
The intensity of construction of foraging access holes by two leaf-litter feeding, soil- inhabiting termite species, Syntermes molestus and Syntermes spinosus, in a Central Amazonian rain forest, was observed on consecutive nights for two weeks.
