Physical and chemical properties of long-term salinized soils
Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2006 In some areas, particularly in the Mediterranean regions, saline water is a source of water for crop irrigation. Consequently during the time, the use of this water may cause significant modifications of the soil physic-chemical properties and plant ...

Relationships between soil physicochemical properties and nitrogen fixing, nitrifying and denitrifying under varying land-use practices in the northwest region of Argentina [PDF]
, 2018 The aim of this study was to evaluate the response pattern of diazotrophic microbes, denitrifiers and nitrifiers to different types of land use management, such as soybean monoculture (M) during 5 and 24 years (M5 and M24) and soybean-maize rotation (R ...

The minimization agrotechnologies and their impact on hydro-physical soil properties
Littera Scripta, 2011 This report analyses the efficiency of different technologies of soil cultivation (conventional and minimization) in terms of physical properties and water regime of soils, where the infiltration of surface water is a major component of subsurface water ...

Land-use effects on soil-water retention characteristic [PDF]
, 2002 Tillage can negatively affect soil physical properties such as bulk density, organic matter content, and soil hydraulic properties, which in turn affect how plants grow. The objective of this study was to evaluate water retention characteristics of a Jay
