TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of changes in the soil structure induced by conventional (CT) and no-tillage (NT) systems was carried out for three different soil depths (0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm).

TL;DR: The last 25 years of the use of computed tomography in Brazil, applied to soil physics is presented in this paper, where the main achievements of these researchers involve studies on soil compaction, surface soil sealing, effects of wetting-drying cycles on soil structure, soil porosity and pore size distribution, water movement through soils and effects of agricultural management systems on soil structures.

TL;DR: In this article, 3D X-ray computed microtomography (μCT) images were used for investigating the representative elementary volume (REV) for soil properties such as soil macroporosity (MAP), number of macropores (NMAP), pore tortuosity (τ), and connectivity (Euler-Poincare characteristic, EPC) under no-tillage (NT) and conventional (CT) tillage systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of long-term no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) on the pore system of a clay soil was analyzed using 3D X-ray computed tomography (μCT) images.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of surface liming on the intra-aggregate porous system of soil aggregates with equivalent diameters of 2-4 and 1-2mm, from 0 to 10 (A) and 10 to 20 cm (B) soil layers were investigated.
