Subsoil Compaction: A hidden form of Soil Sealing in Europe [PDF]
, 2001 There are two definitions of ‘soil sealing’: (I) ‘covering (sealing) the soil surface by impervious materials, e.g. concrete, metal, glass, tarmac and plastic’; and (II) ‘changing the nature of the soil such that it behaves as an impermeable medium, e ...

Derivation of a macroscopic model for transport of strongly sorbed solutes in the soil using homogenization theory [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper we derive a model for the diffusion of strongly sorbed solutes in soil taking into account diffusion within both the soil fluid phase and the soil particles.

Porosity imaging in porous media using synchrotron tomographic techniques [PDF]
, 2004 This paper describes novel uses of synchrotron radiation in examining porosity distributions within porous media. Tomographic energy dispersive diffraction imaging and Tomographic X-ray fluorescence have been combined within one measurement method and ...

Scale-dependent covariance of soil physical properties above and below a soil horizon interface: Pedogenic versus anthropogenic influences on total porosity [PDF]
, 2011 The basic unit of soil – the pedon – is described as the minimum, three-dimensional unit of soil representative of the variability of soil horizon dimensions and morphology.

Effects of Different Porosities on Shear Strength of Fiber Clay by Response Surface Methodology
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018 To study the effects of different factors (fiber length, fiber content and porosity) on the shear strength of fiber reinforced soil, the direct shear test of 3 levels and 3 factors was designed by response surface methodology (RSM) to explore the effects

Study on soil water characteristics of tobacco fields based on canonical correlation analysis
Water Science and Engineering, 2009 In order to identify the principal factors influencing soil water characteristics (SWC) and evaluate SWC effectively, the multivariate-statistical canonical correlation analysis (CCA) method was used to study and analyze the correlation between SWC and ...
