Water potential in nonrigid unsaturated soil‐water medium [PDF]
This paper presents a development of water potential functions for a dual porosity nonrigid aggregated soil medium defined and characterized by its characteristic shrinkage curve. Fractal and thermodynamic approaches to modeling soil water potential are evaluated using simultaneous and continuously measured soil shrinkage and tensiometric curves on a ...

Microbial Toxicity in Soil Medium
A laboratory procedure using the respirometer was developed to measure microbial toxicity in soils of organic chemicals. The procedure was tested with Polytox, a commercial microbial test culture, on 35 organic chemicals. The test protocol was reproducible with a mean standard deviation of 0.08 mg chemical/g of soil for eight chemicals. The assays were

Dynamics of digging in wet soil [PDF]
Numerous animals live in, and locomote through, subsea soils. To move in a medium dominated by frictional interactions, many of these animals have adopted unique burrowing strategies.

Development of model and analysis of one-dimensional movement of ploughshare of subsoiler [PDF]
Soil medium changes its structure and deforms when the actuating tool of an agricultural machine interacts with the soil. The effect of soil on the performance of the actuating tool can be taken into account through soil density and tensile strength. The

Capability of the Invasive Tree Prosopis glandulosa Torr. to Remediate Soil Treated with Sewage Sludge [PDF]
Sewage sludge improves agricultural soil and plant growth, but there are hazards associated with its use, including high metal(loid) contents. An experimental study was conducted under greenhouse conditions to examine the effects of sewage sludge on ...

Current soil water models do not take into account the internal organization of the soil medium and consequently ignore the physical interaction between the water film at the surface of solids that form the soil structure and the structure itself.
