Relations between soil organic carbon content and the pore size distribution for an arable topsoil with large variations in soil properties

Jumpei Fukumasu et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between soil organic carbon (SOC) and pore size distribution (PSD) in arable soil. Using X-ray tomography and soil water retention, we quantified a wide range of PSD. The results show positive correlations between SOC and porosities in the 0.2-720 μm diameter classes. Porosities in the 0.2-5 μm and 480-720 μm diameter classes are more strongly correlated with SOC than clay. These findings have implications for improving estimates of the effects of SOC sequestration on soil water dynamics.

Hybrid modelling of saturated water flow in percolating and non-percolating macroporous soil media

Bartlomiej Gackiewicz et al.

Summary: The study focused on modeling saturated water flow in soil samples with and without a percolating macropore network using two different approaches. By blending the NS and NS/Darcy modeling approaches, a new hybrid model was proposed for better estimation of Ksat. The simulations revealed that macropores are favorable flow paths even if they are not directly connected, emphasizing their importance in soil water flow.

Land use and soil types affect macropore network, organic carbon and nutrient retention, Lithuania

Mykola Kochiieru et al.

Summary: Quantifying the macropore structure of soil is crucial for understanding plant growth and water movement. The study found that Cambisol and Retisol had higher macroporosity compared to Luvisol, with soil organic carbon having a significant impact on medium and fine macropores. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium retention depended on medium and fine macropores.

X-ray micro-computed tomography characterized soil pore network as influenced by long-term application of manure and fertilizer

Navdeep Singh et al.

Summary: This study utilized X-ray microtomography to investigate the long-term effects of cattle manure and fertilizer application on soil pore structure under corn-soybean rotation. The results showed that the application of manure significantly increased soil organic carbon content and porosity compared to the control group, leading to improved saturated hydraulic conductivity. The study also highlighted the importance of using X-ray microtomography to quantify soil pore structure and indicated the benefits of long-term application of dairy manure on improving the microscopic soil physical environment.
