Classic soil physics relies heavily on the concept of representative elementary volume
(REV), which is necessary to perform upscaling from the studied soil samples and …

Soil structure is highly interconnected to all of its properties and functions. The structure for
most soils is very complex and hierarchical in nature. Considering the fact that a truly …

The development of tomographic studies of soil pore space in Russian soil science in 2011–
2018 is discussed. In several years, these studies have evolved from the qualitative …

Numerous methodological approaches and fractionation procedures contribute to the
continuation of discussions about soil aggregate formation. This study aims to justify the dry …

The technique of numerical analysis of three-dimensional tomographic images of the pore
space of soil objects has been used in this paper. It applies methods of integral geometry …

The seasonal dynamics of the structure of microbial biomass in a soddy-podzolic soil under
fallow was assessed using luminescent microscopy. Samples from three soil horizons (P, 5 …

Soil structure is expressed by the size, shape, and arrangement of structural elements.
Shape indices of pores and solid phase elements along with the physical soil parameters …

The origin, structure, composition, and properties of soil humus horizons in functional zones
of St. Petersburg have been studied. The radiocarbon age of organic matter in the humus …

Soil thermal parameters are affected by soil texture, soil moisture, and porous media
structure. X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) is used for description of soil porosity. The aim …

Coupled studies of pore space and rheological behavior of undisturbed samples from
soddypodzolic soils (Albic Glossic Retisols (Loamic, Aric, Cutanic)) of Moscow oblast under …
