Stabilizing Soil Using Annealed Polyvinyl Alcohol as Long-lasting Binder [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Agricultural production heavily exploits the soil, resulting in high erosion in cultivated land, which poses a threat to food security and environmental sustainability. To address this issue, we stabilize the soil using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). PVA strongly adheres to the soil after mixing and annealing, enhancing the cohesive strength of the soil. The

The physical effects of an intra-aggregate structure on soil shrinkage [PDF]
Geoderma 146 (2008) 147-156, 2014 Clay and soil containing it have shrinkage curves that are qualitatively different in shape. The objective of this work is to qualitatively show with maximum simplicity, how a clay shrinkage curve turns into a soil shrinkage curve. Because of the crack volume the measured shrinkage curve is not the single-valued feature of a soil.

A soil water indicator for a dynamic model of crop and soil water interaction
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2023 <abstract><p>Water scarcity is a critical issue in agriculture, and the development of reliable methods for determining soil water content is crucial for effective water management. This study proposes a novel, theoretical, non-physiological indicator of soil water content obtained by applying the next-generation matrix method, which ...
