Abstract:

Soil bulk density is a physical property of soils that affects water storage, water and nutrient movement, and plant root activity in the soil profile. The ability to quantify soil bulk density using vibration-induced conductivity fluctuation was investigated with possible field applications in the future. The AC electrical conductance of soil was measured using a pair of blade-like electrodes while exposing to periodic vibration. The blades were positioned longitudinally and transversally to the direction of the induced vibration to enable the calculation of a normalized index. This normalize

Abstract:

Soil compaction in alfalfa fields has become increasingly severe due to the mechanization of animal husbandry and the increased use of heavy agricultural machinery. Perennial alfalfa land undergoes mechanical compaction several times during the planting period without mechanical tillage. The compacted soil structure may recover through moisture changes, freezing and thawing cycles, and plant growth, but the extent and rate of this recovery remain unknown. In this study, alfalfa plots with two different soil types (medium loam and sandy) in Gansu, China, were selected to address these issues. T

In road works, there are cases in which natural soils have inadequate characteristics for their intended use, especially clayey or fine ones, which leads to the need to find stabilization methods that allow the soil to present itself as a suitable material for its application. Thus, the ash, residue generated in the sugar and alcohol industry from the burning of sugarcane bagasse and which often does not have an adequate destination, becomes an attractive material due to its granulometry and chemical composition.

Effects of different drip irrigation on the growth, development and yield of spring soybean was carried out by measuring the growth index and soil physical characteristics index of spring soybean (Glycine max (L.)

Abstract:

The conservation of ecosystems has benefited from planted forests which provide reforested wood reducing the pressure on deforestation of natural forests. Soil physical attributes determine soil water storage capacity; therefore, they play an important role on plant roots&rsquo; development which may compromise plant&rsquo;s survival. The study tested the influence of soil physical and water attributes on the survival of Eucalyptus spp. clones under dry tropical climate. Two areas were selected, including one with living plants and a second with non-living plants of Eucalyptus spp. clo

The growth and quality of natural seedlings are important goals of forest management in uneven-aged high stands. In this study, the recovery process of the physical and chemical properties of soil, as well as growth variables of beech seedlings on the skid trails after skidding operations in three time periods (10, 20, and 30 years) were investigated in the Hyrcanian forests of Iran. Results revealed that the soil chemical properties (organic C, total N, and pH) were fully recovered after 20 years, while soil physical properties (bulk density, porosity, and penetration resistance) were not yet

In recent decades, excessive human activities have led to large-scale rocky desertification in karst areas. Vegetation restoration is one of the most important ways to control rocky desertification. In this study, vegetation surveys were conducted on three typical plantations in Jianshui County, Yunnan Province, a typical karst fault basin area, in 2016 and 2021. The plantations were Pinus massoniana forest (PM), Pinus yunnanensis forest (PY), and mixed forests of Pinus yunnanensis and Quercus variabilis (MF).
