Soil compaction and vegetation cover in a Scots pine stand at the Mediterranean rangelands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Right development of ROOT SYSTEMS is essential to ensure seedling survival in the initial stages of natural regeneration processes. Soil compaction determines this development both because of its influence on soil Tª & moisture dynamics and for its ...

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

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Foam used during EPB tunnelling in saturated sand, parameters determining foam consumption [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The amount of foam injected during drilling with an EPB-shield in saturated sand is quite often based on experience and/or empiric relations. A method is presented in to calculate the amount of foam needed to create a muck with limited or no grain stress.

THE VOLUME AND POROSITY OF SOIL CRUMBS

open access: yesJournal of Soil Science, 1966
Summary A simple and inexpensive apparatus (a test‐tube, burette, and pin) is described for measuring volumes by liquid displacement to an accuracy of greater than 0.5 per cent. This has been adapted to measure soil crumb porosities, ε c

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

open access: yesLand
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 ...

10-Years Studies of the Soil Physical Condition after One-Time Biochar Application

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
The ten-year experiment on the soil physical properties of biochar-amended Podzol was studied. Biochar was applied to the soil in the following rates: treatment BC10—10 Mg × ha−1, treatment BC20—20 Mg × ha−1, treatment BC30—30 Mg × ha−1 and treatment BC0—
