Soil wetting effects on fallow and cropland in three different soil types of the Czech Republic

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2016
This paper brings the comparison of characteristic changes of cropland and of land that has been left fallow for ten years. The disruption of soil structure (MWD) was tested and correlated with basic soil parameters (soil texture, soil hydraulic ...

Importance of Soil Quality in Environment Protection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Soil quality can be characterised by the harmony between it’s physical and biological state and the fertility. From the practical crop production viewpoint, some important contrasting factors of soil quality are: (1) soil looseness – compaction; (2 ...

Optional Soil Moisture Sensor Protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this resource is to measure the water content of soil based on the electrical resistance of soil moisture sensors. Students install soil moisture sensors in holes that are 10 cm, 30 cm, 60 cm, and 90 cm deep.

Water reuse for irrigated agriculture in Jordan: challenges of soil sustainability and the role of management strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Reclaimed water provides an important contribution to the water balance in water-scarce Jordan, but the quality of this water presents both benefits and challenges. Careful management of reclaimed water is required to maximize the nutrient benefits while

Soil Particle Size Distribution Protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this resource is to sure the distribution of different sizes of soil particles in each horizon of a soil profile. Using dry, sieved soil from a horizon, students mix the soil with water and a dispersing solution to completely separate the ...

Tillage Manure Managemen and Water Quality, April 2005 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Tillage and manure application practices significantly impact surface and ground water quality in Iowa and other Midwestern states. Tillage and manure application that incorporates residue and disturbs soil result in higher levels of soil erosion and

Proximate controls on semiarid soil greenhouse gas fluxes across 3 million years of soil development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Soils are important sources and sinks of three greenhouse gases (GHGs): carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). However, it is unknown whether semiarid landscapes are important contributors to global fluxes of these gases, partly ...
