TL;DR: In this article, a long-term field experiment on tillage practices at the Westerfeld trial in Bernburg, Germany (25 years of different management) is investigated in a X-ray microtomography with bulk properties like bulk density, air capacity and saturated hydraulic conductivity, as well as integrative, ecological properties like earthworm abundance and crop yield.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of desiccation crack dynamics on pore space attributes in general and soils structure turnover in particular using X-ray microtomography for repeated wetting-drying cycles was explored for three different soils with a range of soil organic matter content, clay content and different clay mineralogy that were sieved to a certain aggregate size fraction (0.63-2

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis at different sites of the federal state of Saxony, Germany, and assessed the importance of aggregated agricultural data, namely organic amendments, crop yields, area share of byproduct incorporation, area shares of conservation tillage and initial soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration, on the result uncertainty by assuming an uniform error of ±10%.
