The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2006 Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

The effect of organic farming on soil physical properties, infiltration and workability [PDF]
, 2011 Organically managed land has increased to 4 % of the total area of agricultural land in the UK. Changing land management can impact upon the rural environment (soils, hydrology and biodiversity) and rural community (socio-economics and culture).

Biochar reduces early-stage mineralization rates of plant residues more in coarse-textured soils than in fine-textured soils – an artificial-soil approach [PDF]
SOILQuantifying the impact of biochar on carbon persistence across soil textures is complex, owing to the variability in soil conditions. Using artificial soils with precise textural and mineral compositions, we can disentangle the effects of biochar from ...

Soil physical quality of Mollisols quantified by a global index [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2015 Indicators synthesizing the state of the structural quality and the function of the porous system are useful for assessing soil production capacity as well as the way it may serve natural ecosystems. This research aimed (i) to determine indicators of the state and function of the porous system, (ii) to use them to derive a global index to characterize ...

Spatial Variability of Physical Soil Quality Index of an Agricultural Field
Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2014 A field investigation was carried out to evaluate the spatial variability of physical indicators of soil quality of an agricultural field and to construct a physical soil quality index (SQIP) map. Surface soil samples were collected using 10 m×10 m grid

Index of soil physical quality of hardsetting soils on the brazilian coast [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2014 Many soils have a hard-setting behavior, also known as cohesive or "coesos". In such soils, the penetration resistance increases markedly when dry and decreases considerably when moist, creating serious limitations for plant emergence and growth. To evaluate the level of structure degradation in hard-setting soils with different texture classes and to ...

Soil Quality: The Physical, Chemical, and Biological Parameters
ESPOCH Congresses: The Ecuadorian Journal of S.T.E.A.M., 2022 The present investigation will describe the main properties of tropical soils, as well as the different qualities of the soil, and how they vary during the period of time that the investigation takes, because it is necessary to analyze and describe the different components that influence the changes in soil quality, to evaluate the sensitivity of a ...
