An exhaustive meta-analysis of 132 long-term (≥ 10 years) studies worldwide was carried
out to determine the effects of the use of organic amendments (OA) and OA+ inorganic …

Soil compaction not only reduces available pore volume in which fluids are stored, but it
alters the arrangement of soil constituents and pore geometry, thereby adversely impacting …

Management strategies like organic matter (OM) amendment and mechanical energy inputs
are known to influence the soil system. A long-term (13–14-year) field experiment was used …

Improper soil management, increasing farm machinery mass and traffic frequency threaten
the ecological functionality of soils under intensive agricultural use. Especially in Brazil, no …

Biochars are, amongst other available amendment materials, considered as an attractive
tool in agriculture for carbon sequestration and improvement of soil functions. The latter is …

土壤结构力学稳定性不仅与土壤质量和肥力密切相关, 而且还与农业器具设计和农业水土工程
建设紧密联系. 该研究以黄土高原广泛分布的塿土和黄绵土为研究对象, 采用振幅扫描试验模拟 …

Many aggregation processes in the soil occur at smaller scales due to mechanisms different
from those on larger scales. In this regard, rheometry proved to be a suitable method to …

The structural strength of soils has been extensively described by physical and mechanical
properties evaluated on the mesoscale for different soils and management conditions …

Rheometry ever since made part of soil physical characterization, but only since the
availability of highly sensitive rheometers, amplitude sweep tests (AST) and thixotropy tests …

Due to the need of securing food production for a growing world population, modern
agriculture enhances the risk of land degradation. Thus, knowledge of biological, chemical …
