Replacing nitrogen in mineral fertilizers with nitrogen in maize straw increases soil water-holding capacity

Scientific Reports
Soil water-holding capacity decreases due to long-term mineral fertilizer application. The objective of this study was to determine how replacing mineral fertilizer with maize straw affected the soil water retention curve, soil water content, soil water ...

Examining the Impact of Coal Contamination on Soil Structural and Moisture Properties: A Comparative Study of Coal-Free and Coal-Impacted Soils

Land
Soil porosity and moisture are critical indicators of soil quality. In coal–grain intercropping areas, centuries of coal industry activities have resulted in coal particle contamination, which has affected soil properties; however, its impact on soil ...

Soil compaction by the tractor in spring and its effect on soil porosity 

Agricultural and Food Science, 1983
The effect on soil porosity of tractor compaction of soil in the spring was studied by taking cylindrical core soil samples. The profile samples showed that the tractor most seriously compacts the soil below the harrowed layer at the depth of 10-25 cm. Soil was compacted most severely when till age and drilling were performed under wet conditions about

Porosity and soil water properties of Caribbean volcanic ash soils

Soil Use and Management, 2000
Abstract. Volcanic ash soils are generally recognized as soils with excellent and stable physical properties. Here we characterized the porosity and water properties of volcanic ash Andosols and Nitisols from Guadeloupe in contrasting banana systems: (1) perennial crop without mechanization, (2) mechanized and ...

Analysis of Soil Infiltration Characteristics and Their Influencing Factors Under Different Vegetation Based on a PLS-SEM Model

Hydrology
Urban rocky desertification areas are characterized by shallow soils, rock–soil mosaics, and strong human disturbance, so infiltration processes may differ from those in homogeneous soils.
