Hydrologic and sediment responses to vegetation and soil disturbances [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2003 Soil erosion has been linked to stream sedimentation, ecosystem degradation, and loss of rangeland productivity. However, knowledge of soil loss, as it affects rangeland productivity or ecosystem sustainability is lacking. We evaluated the effects of 3 levels of vegetation cover reduction (0, 27%, and 43%) and soil removal (0, 12, and 24 tonnes ha-1 ...

Experimental Investigation of Soil Disturbance Effect on Bearing Capacity of Organic Soil
International Journal of Civil Engineering, 2023 The model test investigations on the soft soils are usually carried out on samples prepared in the laboratory and assuming site conditions. However, such soils that are prepared in the laboratory only partially reflect the site conditions. Considering this gap in the literature, this study mainly focuses on the bearing capacity and settlement behavior ...

ON THE VARIATION OF THE STRENGTH OF DISTURBED SOIL
Transactions of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 1953 This paper is a report about the variation of the strength of natural soil by disturbing. Measurements of the strength have been carried out by mechanical liquid limit device and direct shear machine. The strength of natural soil decreases by disturbing and this state of decrease is considerably affected by the method of disturbing.

The Effects of Soil Microbial Disturbance and Plants on Arsenic Concentrations and Speciation in Soil Water and Soils [PDF]
, 2023 Arsenic (As) in soils harms soil organisms and plants, and it can enter the human food chain via the dietary consumption of crops. The mobility, bioavailability and toxicity of As are determined by its concentration and speciation.
