The Conversation notes that, while digging holes in sand might seem innocent, if the hole is deep enough and collapses on a ...

One particular tillage equipment company recently mentioned that use of its latest product would encourage soil capillary action ...

The soil you have can say a lot about the health of your plants — especially if you're looking at compaction. This is when the soil is pressed down so tightly that it closes the gaps between soil ...

The high porosity of sandy soil, which prevents it from retaining water for long period and consequently increases its thermal conductivity, is a factor that explains its high thermal performance.

Thanks to unseasonably low water levels, islands of silt, rock and sand — and even an abandoned car — have emerged in the Fox River near East and West Dundee and Carpentersville.

Use of ultrafast terahertz (THz) laser spectroscopy as a nondestructive way to characterize the physicochemical properties of natural soils is still immature because how and to what extent the soil ...

The study area contains different geological units dominated by basalt and overlain by surface deposits. The surface soils vary in thickness and can be classified into well-graded SAND with silt and ...

Sand for its porosity and aeration, clay for its stability and water and nutrient-holding capacity, and silt just because it’s there. Such a soil — from the middle of that triangle — is ...

This indicates that the blending of aeolian sandy soil and loess had a significant effect on the composition of soil particles, bulk density, capillary porosity, and water- and fertilizer-holding ...

This dataset includes pH, sand, silt, clay, bulk density, organic carbon content, gravel, alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, total nitrogen, cation exchange capacity, porosity, total potassium, total ...
