The effect of organic matter on the bulk and true densities of some uncultivated podzolic soils

TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that organic matter content had a dominant effect on both the bulk and true densities of soil in the organic and eluvial horizons of the podzolic soils examined.

Predictive Quality of Pedotransfer Functions for Estimating Bulk Density of Forest Soils

TL;DR: In this article, the predictive quality of 12 published PTFs was evaluated using an independent dataset of forest soils (1614 samples) from Flanders, Belgium, and the best fitted empirical model was based on loss-onignition (LOI): ρ b = 1.173(LOI) 1/2.

Organic carbon, organic matter and bulk density relationships in boreal forest soils

TL;DR: In this article, the relationships between soil organic carbon, organic matter, and bulk density were established in acidic loamy to sandy loam fine fractions of forest soils in Quebec (Canada).

Dark Island heath (Ninety-mile Plain, South Australia). IV. Soil moisture patterns produced by rainfall interception and stem-flow

TL;DR: Struck differences in soil moisture contents are produced over very small distances; these differences are not conspicuous underneath the leptophyllous undershrubs, although rainfall interception by their foliage and litter may reduce the quantity of water reaching the soil.

- 01 Jan 1953 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of topography on soil formation in the English Lake District has been investigated, with reference to a series of hillside woodlands along the shores of Windermere.
