Principles of Soil Physics examines the impact of the physical, mechanical, and hydrological
properties and processes of soil on agricultural production, the environment, and …

A quantitative description of soil compaction effects is required to improve soil management
for reducing compaction problems in crop production and environment. Our objective is to …

Landfill methane currently represents the largest global source of greenhouse gas
emissions from the solid waste sector. Emissions are expected to increase due to increasing …

" Upholding the high standard of quality set by the previous edition, this two-volume second
edition offers a vast array of recent peer-reviewed articles. It showcases research and …

Quantification of in situ soil microbial activity is indispensable to improve manipulation of
nutrient turnover in soil and optimize crop nutrient supply. We sampled 100‐cm3 cores of …

Soil macropores largely control fluid and solute transport, making visualization and
quantification of macropore characteristics essential for better understanding and predicting …

Laboratory methods are recommended for fine‐structured soil, particularly where there are
distinct layers of different physical condition in the profile that require separate …

The study characterized soil structure development and evolution in six plots that were
amended with varying amounts of animal manure (AM) and NPK fertilizer over a period of …

Laboratory trials were performed to test germination and emergence characteristics of
jimsonweed (Datura stramonium L.) seeds buried in 10 different soil types (with or without …

A novel set of experimental apparatus was designed and constructed to study the changes
in the fluid-flow properties of municipal solid waste (MSW) related to the physical evolution …
