Abstract Structure represents one of the main soil physical attributes indicators. The soil
porous system (SPS) is directly linked to the soil structure. Water retention, movement, root …

The last 25 years of the use of computed tomography in Brazil, applied to soil physics is here
presented. This period ranges from the first publication made by Brazilian researchers in …

Pseudo-sands are soil microaggregates with less than 1 mm diameter that are not
dispersible in water even after 16 h of shaking treatment. The physical stability of pseudo …

Several methods exist for determining soil organic carbon, and each one has its own
advantages and limitations. Consequently, a comparison of the experimental results …

Ferralsols correspond to the red and yellow soils that are common in the tropics. They are
deeply weathered but physical fertility is high because they exhibit a strong microgranular …

The physical characteristics of the soil surface are of extreme importance in relation to
energy and matter transfer processes between the atmosphere and the soil. Soil internal …

The role of earthworms as one of the most important groups of ecosystem engineers in
human-modified and natural environments has been increasingly recognized only during …

Machinery traffic in sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) plantations reduces soil physical quality,
and hinders both root development and crop yield. We evaluated the physical quality of an …

En los últimos 20 años se viene prestando atención a los problemas relacionados con la
influencia antropogénica en el cambio de las propiedades de los suelos, sobre todo en …

The soil water retention curve (SWRC) and soil hydraulic conductivity (K) are important soil
hydraulic properties. In Oxisols, the degree of microaggregation depends on the amount of …
