A modification of the constant-head permeameter to measure saturated hydraulic conductivity of highly permeable media

MethodsX, 2017
The saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is a key characteristic of porous media, describing the rate of water flow through saturated porous media. It is an indispensable parameter in a broad range of simulation models that quantify saturated and/or ...

Seasonal Variations in CO2 Emission from Poultry Manure-amended Soils in Two Contrasting Tropical Agroecosystems

Applied Environmental Research
The soil remains the largest carbon sink, the capacity of which varies spatiotemporally and with anthropogenic activities, with implications for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and associated global warming.

Assessing Impacts of Soil Management Measures on Ecosystem Services

Sustainability, 2018
Only a few studies have quantified and measured ecosystem services (ES) specifically related to soil. To address this gap, we have developed and applied a methodology to assess changes in ecosystem services, based on measured or estimated soil property ...

Review of Alternative Management Options of Vegetable Crop Residues to Reduce Nitrate Leaching in Intensive Vegetable Rotations

Agronomy, 2014
Vegetable crop residues take a particular position relative to arable crops due to often large amounts of biomass with a N content up to 200 kg N ha−1 left behind on the field.
