soil. Planting of the crop over this low density slot is critical. These soils occur in the USA, primarily in the Using deep tillage to alleviate the adverse effects of deleterious soil Coastal Plains, and in other regions to a minor extent physical properties has been tried many times. Consistent economic returns have been reported for in-the-row subsoiling of loamy sand (Buol, 1973). and coar...

Microsprinkler irrigation is a potential method to alleviate soil salinization. After conducting a homogeneous, highly saline, clayey, and coastal soil from the Bohai Gulf in northern China in a column experiment, the results show that the depth of the wetting front increased as the water amount applied increased, low-salinity and low-SAR enlarged after irrigation and water redistribution, and ...

Electro-osmosis in clayey soils and sediments, for purposes of clay consolidation, dewatering, or cleanup, and electro injection in porous media is widespread recent decades. It is experimentally found that the chemical properties of porous media especially PH change the characteristics of media. Electro-osmotic conductivity is a function of soil and grout material chemistry, altering with time...

Images of representative clayey bare fields were chosen from a high spatial resolution hyperspectral dataset that was acquired with the prototypal airborne Hyper SIM-GA sensor from Selex Galileo simultaneously with ground soil spectral signatures and the collection of samples. After both the pre-processing and calibration of the SIM-GA data, the mapping procedure was developed using the 2-2.45 ...

In this study, a multiphysical description of fluid transport through osteo-articular porous media is presented. Adapted from the model of Moyne and Murad, which is intended to describe clayey materials behaviour, this multiscale modelling allows for the derivation of the macroscopic response of the tissue from microscopical information. First the model is described. At the pore scale, electroh...

Review of npg-2015-79 This manuscript presents multifractal analyses of nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms obtained on soil samples from 6 different soil profiles in São Paulo State, Brazil. There is very little that is new here, and the manuscript essentially repeats the study by Paz-Ferreiro et al. (2013), but in a different geographic area and with some less clayey soils. Although ...

In this Letter, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple method to provide additional information on the electro-mechanical properties of soils by electrical conductivity measurements. The AC electrical conductance of the soil is measured while it is exposed to a periodic vibration. The vibration-induced density fluctuation implies a corresponding conductivity fluctuation that can be ...

   Floral diversity is a measure of number of type flora in an area, and reflects how vegetation develops in response to the environmental condition during a certain time interval. The present study aims to examine changes in the diversity of vegetation (pollen, spores and algae), evenness, and similarity in the Bandung Basin through a core of 240 cm depth using a ground drill, as well as  the ...
