Spatio-temporal heterogeneity of riparian soil morphology in a restored floodplain [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Floodplains have been intensively altered in industrialized countries, but are now increasingly being restored. It is therefore important to assess the effect of these restoration projects on the aquatic and terrestrial components of ecosystems. However,

Soil aggregate geometry: Measurements and morphology [PDF]
Geoderma, 2015 Aggregates provide physical microenvironments for microorganisms, the vital actors of soil systems, and thus play a major role as both, an arena and a product of soil carbon stabilization and dynamics. The surface of an aggregate is what enables exchange of the materials and air and water fluxes between aggregate exterior and interior regions.

Redoximorphic features as indicators of soil water regime [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2022 Soil water regime, as one of the key components of soil fertility, refers to the quantity, retention, and movement of soil water. Rather than through expensive and/or time-consuming measurements, it can be assessed from the field-observable morphological

Assessment of Pedotransfer Functions for Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Anatolian Soils
Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2020 Hydraulic conductivity is an essential base for applied research in soil and water management, landscape, and environmental disciplines. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is one of the most important soil physical properties, which is considered in
