Phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth.) affects soil structure differently depending on soil texture [PDF]
, 2019 © 2019, The Author(s). Aims: We studied the effects of Phacelia tanacetifolia, increasingly used as a cover-crop species in arable agricultural systems, upon soil structural properties in the context of two contrasting soil textures.

Modeling soil bulk density at the landscape scale and its contributions to C stock uncertainty [PDF]
, 2012 Soil bulk density (Db) is a major contributor to uncertainties in landscape-scale carbon and nutrient stock estimation. However, it is time consuming to measure and is, therefore, frequently predicted using surrogate variables, such as soil texture ...

Conversion Between Soil Texture Classification Systems Using the Random Forest Algorithm [PDF]
, 2015 This study focuses on the reclassification of a soil texture system following a hybrid approach in which the conventional particle-size distribution (PSD) models are coupled with a random forest (RF) algorithm for achieving more generally applicable and ...

Limited role of soil texture in mediating natural vegetation response to rainfall anomalies
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Evidence suggests that the response of rainfed crops to dry or wet years is modulated by soil texture. This is a central tenet for certain agronomic operations in water-limited regions that rely on spatial distribution of soil texture for guiding ...

Field-based soil-texture estimates could replace laboratory analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Texture is one of the most important and most frequently measured parameters in soil science. It is common knowledge among field experienced soil scientists that soil texture can be well estimated in the field manually with so called “texture-by-feel ...

Cropping system and soil texture shape soil health outcomes and scoring functions
Soil Security, 2021 Inherent soil properties often define the soil's basic functions, but human management can have superimposing impacts on the quality of soil. It is therefore challenging to interpret Soil Health (SH) measurements in the context of a region's soils and ...
