Visual examinations and soil physical and hydraulic properties for assessing soil structural quality of soils with contrasting textures and land uses Universiteit Gent
Anaerobic N mineralization in paddy soils in relation to inundation management, physicochemical soil fractions, mineralogy and soil properties Universiteit Gent
Phytotoxic doses of boron in contrasting soils depend on soil water content KU Leuven
Boron (B) affects plant growth in soil at B doses (mg added B kg-1 soil) that appear in the range of natural background B concentrations. A study was set up to determine B bioavailability by testing B toxicity to plant as affected by soil properties and ageing after soil dosing. Nineteen soils (pH 4.4-7.8) and 3 synthetic soils (sand-peat mixtures) were amended with 7 doses of H3BO3. Barley root elongation was determined immediately after B ...
Effects of rainfall intensity and slope on sediment, nitrogen and phosphorous losses in soils with different use and soil hydrological properties Universiteit Gent
The aim of this research was to analyse the effect of rainfall intensity and slope on soil and nutrient losses by hydric erosion in soils with different hydrological characteristics. This research was carried out on soils collected from slopes with different land uses/covers (LU/LC) -forest, scrub, agricultural, afforested and barren land-, from a mountain area (Sierra de Santo Domingo in the South Pyrenean region), where intensive farming and ...
Slurry Spreading on a Silt Loam Soil: Influence of Tyre Inflation Pressure, Number of Passages, Machinery Choice and Tillage Method on Physical Soil Quality and Sugar Beet Growth Universiteit Gent
Soil compaction forms a major threat to the well-functioning of agricultural soils. This threat is primarily driven by the increasing wheel loads of modern farming machinery and the increased frequency of field operations in periods when the soil is moist to wet and thus more prone to compaction. The application of slurry in early spring can have a highly detrimental impact, certainly for a crop like sugar beet, which is sensitive to soil ...
Simulating soil organic carbon stock as affected by land use and climate change on volcanic soils in Indonesia Universiteit Gent
We assessed long-term trends in soil organic carbon (SOC) in volcanic soils with a process-based soil genesis model, SoilGen2.25. The relation between soil geochemistry and SOC was applied in a model context, where significant soil properties were identified and used to modify the decay rates of SOC pools. We used data from Indonesian sites with different land use (tropical primary forest, secondary pine forest, and agricultural land) and ...
