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 …
Abstract Archaeological Dark Earths (ADE) are anthropogenic soils with high fertility and excellent physical conditions due to high soil organic carbon (SOC) content. However …
Soil structural degradation through compression from machine and animal traffic affects soil functioning and threatens environmental sustainability. However, the structural stability of …
Soil density and oscillation frequency are some of the main factors affecting soil micromechanical behavior, but their role in the oscillatory amplitude sweep test (AST) is not …
The remediation of soils stressed by salinity improves soil quality for food production. However, information on how remediation techniques affect microstructural stability/elasticity …
