Water potential in nonrigid unsaturated soil‐water medium [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2004
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 ...

Growth of branches of petung bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper) grafting in soil media, husk charcoal, and their combination

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Kehutanan, 2014
Recently, the utilization of bamboo is more extensive, but the attention towards its regeneration is not sufficient. The use of stem or branch cuttings are more practical and having more benefits and promising because the cutting materials are more ...

Microbial Toxicity in Soil Medium

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1998
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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.

Application of the electrical impedance spectrometry method for monitoring of water flow through unsaturated soil

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum. Formatio Circumiectus, 2020
Aim of the study: The aim of the research was to determine the sensitivity of the impedance spectrometry (EIS) method to changes in electrical resistance of the soil medium caused by water infiltration. Material and methods: The research was carried

Development of model and analysis of one-dimensional movement of ploughshare of subsoiler [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2019
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 ...

Stochastic Medium Model for the Settlement Calculation of Prefabricated Vertical Drains of Soft Soil Foundations in the Coastal Area of South China

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) is an essential means to mitigate the settlement of soft soil foundations in coastal areas of South China. The commonly used elastoplastic analytical method cannot directly reflect the interaction of different PVDs ...

A Framework for Soil-Water Modeling Using the Pedostructure and Structural Representative Elementary Volume (SREV) Concepts

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2014
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.
