(1) The precision of estimates of soil bulk density from organic matter content, expressed as% loss-on-ignition of dry weight, was examined for eight groups of data collected from surface and ...

Accurate and cost-effective soil bulk density (BD) measurements are crucial for robust climate mitigation and adaptation strategies by ensuring reliable estimation of key soil properties, such as soil ...

Compacted soils are not uniformly hard; they usually contain structural cracks and biopores, the continuous large pores that are formed by soil fauna and by roots of previous crops. Roots growing in ...

For bulk density use a cylinder of known volume – at least 180cu cm. Dry the soil. “Take the weight, dry for 30 seconds in a microwave, and take the weight again.

2 Materials and methods 2.1 Experimental site and design Soil sampling sites were selected across different land uses at Hacienda San José and neighboring farms in La Primavera, Vichada, Colombia ...
