Impact of land use and tillage practice on soil macropore characteristics inferred from X-ray computed tomography

Suman Budhathoki et al.

Summary: This study used X-ray computed tomography and image analysis to quantify the characteristics of soil macropores under different land uses and soil tillage practices. The results showed distinct differences in macropore characteristics for different treatments, particularly near the surface depth. The findings of this study have significant implications for non-equilibrium flow prediction and contaminant transport modeling in soils.

Approaches to delineate aggregates in intact soil using X-ray imaging

John Koestel et al.

Summary: Soil structure plays a crucial role in soil functions such as carbon sequestration and water holding capacity, but research in this area is divided and lacks quantitative comparisons between different viewpoints. Further investigations are needed to harmonize soil structure characterization and explore new approaches for evaluating microaggregates within macroaggregates.

Estimating soil porosity and pore size distribution changes due to wetting-drying cycles by morphometric image analysis

Jocenei A. T. de Oliveira et al.

Summary: The study found that wetting and drying cycles can alter the pore distribution in soils, with the minimum tillage management showing the most significant changes in soil physical properties. This indicates that the response of soils to wetting and drying cycles varies depending on the management system applied, affecting water retention and movement in the soil porous system.

Changes in soil structure and pore functions under long term/continuous grassland management

Ayodele Ebenezer Ajayi et al.

Summary: The study aimed to understand how changes in land management affect soil structure and function dynamics, with a focus on pore size distribution and wetting/drying mechanisms. Results showed that soil quality and hydro-physical properties were impacted by grassland age, with significant improvements seen in soil porosity, pore continuity, hydraulic conductivity, and water accessibility in soils managed for 24 years. Wetting/drying experiments further enhanced soil restructuring, with increased values of Ksat and air permeability as sward age and cycles increased. Long-term sustainable grassland management without soil inversion is recommended for improving soil structure and functionality.
