Visible and near infrared spectroscopy in soil science [PDF]

, 2010
This chapter provides a review on the state of soil visible–near infrared (vis–NIR) spectroscopy. Our intention is for the review to serve as a source of up-to date information on the past and current role of vis–NIR spectroscopy in soil science.

Weathering microenvironments on feldspar surfaces: implications for understanding fluid-mineral reactions in soils [PDF]

, 2008
The mechanisms by which coatings develop on weathered grain surfaces, and their potential impact on rates of fluid-mineral interaction, have been investigated by examining feldspars from a 1.1 ky old soil in the Glen Feshie chronosequence, Scottish ...

Mineralogy, morphology, and reaction kinetics of ureolytic bio-cementation in the presence of seawater ions and varying soil materials

Scientific Reports, 2022
Microbially-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a bio-cementation process that can improve the engineering properties of granular soils through the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) minerals on soil particle surfaces and contacts ...

Clay Fraction Mineralogy and Structural Soil Attributes of Two Soil Classes under the Semi-Arid Climate of Brazil

Land, 2022
Mineralogical studies are incipient and necessary in the Apodi Plateau, Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the interrelationship between the mineralogy of the clay fraction and its structural and chemical attributes and to differentiate two important ...

Lime stabilisation for earthworks: a UK perspective [PDF]

, 2014
Lime stabilisation is a versatile technique applied during earthworks operations. Modern soil recycling units are much more efficient at pulverising fill material and intermixing the added binder/water than machinery available 20 years ago.

Physical, geochemical, and clay mineralogical properties of unstable soil slopes in the Cameron Highlands

Open Geosciences, 2021
The physical, geochemical, and clay mineralogical properties are location dependent and influence landslide, yet this relationship is understudied in the Cameron Highlands.

Mineral Classification of Soils Using Hyperspectral Longwave Infrared (LWIR) Ground-Based Data

Remote Sensing, 2019
Soil mineralogy is an important factor affecting chemical and physical processes in the soil. Most common minerals in soils—quartz, clay minerals and carbonates—present fundamental spectral features in the longwave infrared (LWIR) region. The

Use of Biostimulants Obtained from Sewage Sludge for the Restoration of Soils Polluted by Diuron: Effect on Soil Biochemical Properties

Agronomy, 2022
The use of biostimulants in the bioremediation of polluted soils in order to eliminate/reduce the toxic effects of pesticides on the soil is currently a very common environmental practice.

Landscape Dynamics in the Caspian Lowlands Since the Last Deglaciation Reconstructed From the Pedosedimentary Sequence of Srednaya Akhtuba, Southern Russia

Geosciences, 2018
Surface Kastanozem of the Lower Volga area was first studied as a part of the pedocomplex, with the lower part (148⁻160 cm) formed in Early Khvalynian Chocolate clays (13⁻15 ka), the middle part (100⁻148 cm) in a mixed clay-loess ...
