Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Pedotransfer Functions for Predicting the Soil Moisture Retention Curve
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated pedotransfer functions (PTFs) with respect to their accuracy in predicting the soil moisture retention curve (MRC) and selected five widely used and four more recently developed PTFs for evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal windbreak design for wind-erosion control
Wim Cornelis,Donald Gabriëls +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a wind-tunnel study was conducted to find the optimal windbreak design in terms of its porosity, its distribution with height and the number of rows needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of mechanized logging on compaction status of sandy forest soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of skidding traffic on bulk density and penetration resistance of two sandy forest soils was examined in Putte (the Netherlands), where different levels of compaction were applied by varying the number of skiding cycles: one pass harvester (H), one pass harvesting and forwarder (H + F), and multiple passes of both machines (Max).
Journal ArticleDOI
The positive relationship between soil quality and crop production: A case study on the effect of farm compost application
Tommy D'Hose,Mathias Cougnon,Alex De Vliegher,Bart Vandecasteele,Nicole Viaene,Wim Cornelis,Erik Van Bockstaele,Dirk Reheul +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between crop production and soil quality was assessed in a six year old field experiment studying the effect of farm compost (FC) amendment in a crop rotation of potato, fodder beet, forage maize and Brussels sprouts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enrichment of Organic Carbon in Sediment Transport by Interrill and Rill Erosion Processes
TL;DR: In this article, rill and interrill erosion processes on a silt loam soil were examined in laboratory rainfall and flume experiments, and it was found that rill erosion was nonselective, while for interrill degradation the enrichment ratio of organic carbon varied between 0.9 and 2.6 and was inversely related to the unit sediment discharge.
