Improving the stability of soil aggregates using soil additives and revegetation by grassland

Changes study of soil splash and stability of soil aggregates using polyvinyl acetate

Soil erosion, especially water erosion, threatens the installations, water resources and also human life. The first stage of water erosion is the splash erosion that it requires to control in the primary stages. On the other hand, the application of soil conditioners is one of the approaches that it provide the conservation possibility of soil surface against water erosion, especially erosion f...

Improving Soil Physical Indicators by Soil Amendment to a Saline-Sodic Soil

The application of organic amendments can be an appropriate solution to reclaim and improve physical propertiesof saline-sodic soils. In this research, an experiment was performed under greenhouse conditions to study the effect ofamendments to the physical properties of loamy saline-sodic soil. The five treatments were control (withoutamendment), municipal solid waste compost (MC), vermicompost...

Mechanisms of Soil Aggregates Stability in Purple Paddy Soil under Conservation Tillage of Sichuan Basin, China

Abstract: Ridge culture is a special conservation tillage method, but the long-term influence of this tillage system on soil aggregate-size stability in paddy fields is largely unknown in southwest of china. The objectives of this paper are to evaluate soil aggregates stability and to determine the relationship between SOC and soil aggregate stability.Soil samples at 0-20 cm layer were adopted ...

Preliminary assessment of microbial-based soil additives

Improving the clay, silt and sand of soil prediction by removing the influence of moisture on reflectance using EPO

Moisture is one of the most important factors that affects soil reflectance spectra. Time and spatial variability of soil moisture leads to reducing the capability of spectroscopy in soil properties estimation. Developing a method that could lessen the effect of moisture on soil properly prediction using spectrometry, is necessary. This paper utilises an external parameter orthogonalisation (EP...
