The gamma ray attenuation method (GAM) has been used with success in soil science since
the fifties of the last century. Several soil properties can be measured directly or indirectly in …

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is a well-established technique to characterize the 3D
spatial arrangement of soil structure. However, 4D XCT (3D+ time) has been demonstrated …

The hierarchical organization of aggregates in soil is responsible for the presence of inter
and intra-aggregate pores. This research aimed to investigate effects of soil surface liming …

Soil liming has demonstrated to be efficient to make acidic soils suitable to agriculture but
little research has been done to evaluate its effect on soil structure in the microscale. X-ray …

Soils are porous materials with high shielding capability to attenuate gamma and X-rays.
The disposal of radionuclides throughout the soil profile can expose the living organisms to …

This study examines the effects of the chemical composition of the clay fraction of various
soil horizons on radiation shielding parameters. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis did not …

In this paper, we present in details a method for determining the soil density of disturbed
samples. The mass attenuation coefficient was also evaluated by using the relation between …

This review presents the basic research and some applications of the gamma-ray
attenuation, neutron gauges, and 137Cs fallout techniques for studying soil physical …

The study of radiation interaction parameters in complex materials (eg, soils) has gained
great importance in the last decades. However, few studies have directly addressed in detail …

Liming can influence crop growth by altering pore geometry, pore size distribution and water
retention characteristics in acid soils. The aim of this work is to determine liming effects on …
