Evaluating dual porosity of pelletized diatomaceous earth using bimodal soil-water characteristic curve functions

, 2001
Soil-water characteristic curve data for specimens containing either ~1 mm or ~2 mm diameter pellets of processed diatomaceous earth are measured using a variety of methods (Tempe cell, pressure plate, filter paper, and chilled-mirror psychrometer). The

Compost addition reduces porosity and chlordecone transfer in soil microstructure

, 2016
Chlordecone, an organochlorine insecticide, pollutes soils and contaminates crops and water resources and is biomagnified by food chains. As chlordecone is partly trapped in the soil, one possible alternative to decontamination may be to increase its ...
