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 …
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 …
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 …

The invasive plant species Impatiens glandulifera native to Asia mainly occupies European riparian ecosystems. It is still unclear to which extent this invasive plant can alter physico …
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 …
