Effects of urea solution concentration on soil hydraulic properties and water infiltration capacity
2023, Science of the Total EnvironmentTillage-induced effects on organic carbon in earthworm casts through changes in their physical and structural stability parameters
2021, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :However, the potential mechanism of structural stability and its effect on organic carbon inside the earthworm cast has not yet been identified. Structural stability has usually been quantified using physical structure stability parameters, namely pore size distribution (Zangiabadi et al., 2020), tensile strength (Barbosa and Ferraz, 2020), water resistance index (Saygin et al., 2012) and water repellency (Behrends Kraemer et al., 2019). These indicators have generally been used to evaluate the effects of the management practices on soil structure quality or soil aggregate stability (Blanco-Canqui and Ruis, 2018), but little effort has been expended on characterizing the structural stability of earthworm casts.
Penetration resistance: An effective indicator for monitoring soil compaction in pastures
2020, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :A slight compaction in this area would increase the LLWR due to structure modification, this is, particles rearrangement and porosity modification. According to Zangiabadi et al. (2017), in general, soils with smaller pore sizes as well as greater size diversity can generally lead to an increase in LLWR limits. However, in our study it is observed a restriction of LLWR limits with animal trampling (Table 3), which could be a consequence of the rearrangement of soil particles promoted by the load carrying.
Effect of earthworms on soil physico-hydraulic and chemical properties, herbage production, and wheat growth on arable land converted to ley
2020, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Plant species with dense and fine roots such as grass (Deru et al., 2016) and highly mycorrhizal fibrous lateral root systems such as clover (Wyngaarden et al., 2015) both produce a range of soil pore sizes and increase micropore volume (Bodner et al., 2014; Jarvis et al., 2017). This can increase the water available to plants (Zangiabadi et al., 2017). As is commonly observed (van Groenigen et al., 2014) plant growth was greater in the presence of earthworms (Table 4, Fig. S10).
Soil available water and plant growth in relation to K:Na ratio
2020, GeodermaCitation Excerpt :Ruiz et al. (2005) found that macro-porosity decreased due to structural destruction with increasing Na concentration, increasing water retention. Furthermore, Zangiabadi et al. (2017) investigated effect of soil pore size distributions on plant available water and least limiting water range values on 30 different soils from northeastern Iran. They demonstrated that reducing the diameter of soil pores, resulted in increase the soil water retention and therefore amounts of plant available water and least limiting water range.
