SOIL CRACK MORPHOLOGY AND SOIL SALINITY1

Soil Science, 1992
This study considers the effects of soil salinity on soil crack morphology, soil bulk density, and water content in the field where soil cracking is not affected by the plant canopy or plant water extraction. Field measurements along transects of three different salinity treatments were taken 3, 6,

Effects of Soil Morphology on Hydraulic Properties I. Quantification of Soil Morphology

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1999
Utilization of existing soil survey databases for characterizing water flow and solute transport in field soils has practical value. However, the lack of a proper means for quantifying soil morphology limits the incorporation of soil structural information into models. In this study, we examined basic relationships between five major soil morphological

SOIL MORPHOLOGY AND SOIL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. I. SOIL AERATION

Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 1972
The relation between soil structure and soil aeration was investigated on undisturbed soil cores from soil horizons exhibiting six distinct kinds of soil structure (prismatic, columnar, blocky, granular, platy, massive) over a broad range of soil texture.

Teaching soil morphology to introductory soil science students

Journal of Agronomic Education, 1988
ABSTRACTIntroductory soil science students should receive practical instruction in soil morphology because it can be a tool to assess soil limitations for various land uses. “Real soils” should be examined whenever possible. Soil cores collected from a toposequence are well‐suited for classroom instruction because the soils frequently exhibit a wide ...

Chapter 4 Soil morphology

1996
Publisher Summary Morphology is the most important feature used to differentiate Vertisols from other soil orders. The major morphological markers of Vertisols are linear and normal gilgai (micro-relief), cyclic horizons, surface cracking upon desiccation, and slickensides.

Surface-water gley soils in Bangladesh: Environment, landforms and soil morphology

Geoderma, 1977
Abstract Most of Bangladesh is seasonally flooded or waterlogged, mainly by rain water. Surface-water grey soils are extensively developed on the seasonallywet landscapes. They are acid, hydromorphic soils with albic horizons containing less clay than the deeper horizons, and with a seasonally fluctuating pH in the surface horizon.
