Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between Clay Content, Clay Type, and Shrinkage Properties of Soil Samples
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the exponential (XP) model to calculate the volume of two pore phases in the soil, namely macro and micropore volumes, based on the assumption that the maximum swelling of the clay matrix is the point of minimum water content of the structural shrinkage (Point D).
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal variability in soil hydraulic properties under drip irrigation
Ibrahim Mubarak,Jean Claude Mailhol,Rafael Angulo-Jaramillo,Pierre Ruelle,Pascal Boivin,Mohammadreza Khaledian +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported field measurements of soil hydraulic properties under two drip irrigation treatments, full (FT) and limited (LT), to identify the temporal variability of the hydraulic properties of field soil under highfrequency water application during a maize cropping season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron reduction and changes in cation exchange capacity in intermittently waterlogged soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the long-term effects of intermittent flooding on soil properties were studied in field experiments on a Vertisol cropped with rice in Senegal, where the dominant clay minerals were smectite and kaolinite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal organic carbon values for soil structure quality of arable soils. Does clay content matter
Alice Johannes,Adrien Matter,Rainer Schulin,Peter Weisskopf,Philippe C. Baveye,Pascal Boivin +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large area in which 161 free-to-swell undisturbed samples were obtained for this research represents a major part of the Swiss agricultural land and belongs to one broad soil group (Cambi-Luvisols).
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of irrigation with industrial treated wastewater on soil properties
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of irrigation with alkaline and sodic industrial wastewater previously treated in microphyte ponds on soil physical and chemical properties were studied downstream the sewage treatment plant of Kossodo in Ouagadougou, on plots cropped with eggplants.
