Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the thickness and grain size of tephra mulch on soil water evaporation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of the laboratory experiments conducted to assess the influence of two parameters of the mulch, thickness and grain size, on soil water evaporation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the suitability of saline wastewaters for irrigation of Citrus spp.: Emphasis on boron and specific-ion interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive review of the literature from 1928 to present on Citrus spp. tolerance to boron (B) and specific ions has been conducted, and two steady-state approaches that were used to determine the maximum B concentration in the irrigation water (Bw) that would result in these Bss tolerance values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic materials as mulches for water conservation
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a 3-year monitoring of soil moisture content in three plots covered with two types of basaltic tephra with different grain sizes were compared to those obtained on adjacent plots that were not covered with the mulch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochar and earthworms working in tandem: Research opportunities for soil bioremediation.
TL;DR: A new conceptual model using earthworms to activate biochar with extracellular enzymes is proposed, used as a theoretical framework to produce a new product "vermichar", vermicompost produced from blended feedstock, earthworms, and biochar that can be used to improve soil quality and remove soil contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Volcanic Mulch to Rehabilitate Saline-Sodic Soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the salinity-sodicity in the cultivated layer of soils that were covered with 10 to 15 cm of tephra mulch as recently as 20 yr ago with that of adjacent unmulched soils.
