Soil Water Retention: Uni-Modal Models of Pore-Size Distribution Neglect Impacts of Soil Management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Most models describing soil water retention imply a uni-modal pore-size distribution (PSD). The uni-modal model presented by van Genuchten (termed vanG) is widely used although double-exponential models (termed Dex) implying a bi-modal PSD may better ...

Will European soil-monitoring networks be able to detect changes in topsoil organic carbon content? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, articles 3.3 and 3.4 stipulate that some voluntary activities leading to an additional carbon (C) sequestration in soils could be accounted as C sinks in national greenhouse gas ...

Pesticides are Substantially Transported in Particulate Phase, Driven by Land use, Rainfall Event and Pesticide Characteristics—A Runoff and Erosion Study in a Small Agricultural Catchment

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Agriculture on sloping lands is prone to processes of overland flow and associated soil detachment, transportation, and deposition. The transport of pesticides to off-target areas related to runoff processes and soil erosion poses a threat of pollution ...

Evaluation of chemical amendments to control phosphorus losses from dairy slurry

open access: yes, 2011
peer-reviewedLand application of dairy slurry can result in incidental losses of phosphorus (P) to runoff in addition to increased loss of P from soil as a result of a buildup in soil test P (STP). An agitator test was used to identify the most effective

Soil Management

open access: yes, 2023
Ethiopia is characterized by diverse climate, topography, geology, soils, hydrology, vegetation, and culture. The diversity in these soil forming factors is responsible for the formation/occurrence, distribution, level of degradation and management of natural resources including soils.

Organic-matter-mediated leaching of alkalinity in limed acid soils is affected by dissolved organic carbon adsorption and soil structure [PDF]

open access: yesSOIL
Subsurface soil acidity severely limits crop growth and is challenging to adjust by surface liming. There have been several proposals for subsurface liming using the combination of lime and an organic amendment, as organic anions may migrate deeper in ...

Sorption and desorption of phosphate on biochar and biochar-soil mixtures

open access: yes, 2013
The term biochar refers to materials with diverse chemical, physical and physicochemical characteristics that have potential as a soil amendment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the P sorption/desorption properties of various slow biochars ...

Self‐Sintering Ionogel Binder for Flexible, Recyclable, and Healable Printed Giant Magnetoresistive Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electronic waste has emerged as a major environmental challenge, driven by the massive consumption and a limited lifetime of modern electronic devices, stimulating the development of sustainable electronics. Here, an all‐biomaterial gelatin‐choline‐citric acid ([Ch][CA]) ionogel is developed as an active binder to realize self‐sintered ...

Age of Soil and Water Conservation Practices on Selected Soil Properties along the Toposequence of Gerado Watershed, Habru District, Eastern Amhara, Ethiopia

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science
The government of Ethiopia through community participation has widely implemented soil and water conservation (SWC) measures, especially in the highlands of Ethiopia. However, the effects of these practices on the physicochemical properties of soils have
