As part of a study on growth of tree roots in hostile soil, we envisaged that establishment and survival of trees on hard, dry soil may depend on their ability to exert axial root growth pressures of similar magnitude to those of the roots of agricul

Background and aims Woody perennials can be difficult to establish on harsh soils in arid and semi-arid regions. Historically, technological advances have focussed on methods to improve transplanting and direct-seeding but the available information o

Soil Science is a unique discipline concerning a complex material that is part of many natural and utilitarian systems. As such, the teaching of Soil Science requires principles that reflect the nature of soil and the practices of soil scientists. Be

We revisit a previously published approach, and present a new approach, to calculate the effect of osmotic stress on soil water availability assuming conservation of mass with respect to salt. The two (completely different) approaches allow the water

A precise mathematical formula for, and accurate curve-fitting of, shrinkage data are prerequisites for the evaluation of an array of structural properties as functions of the water content (moisture ratio) of non-rigid (swelling) soils. Such a formu

We present a new model for the soil-water retention curve, 0(h m ), which, in contrast to earlier models, anchors the curve at zero water content and does away with the unspecified residual water content. The proposed equation covers the complete ret

Two sets of shrinkage data for a Norwegian clay Topsoil and Subsoil provided in the literature by Olsen and Haugen [Geoderma 83 (1998) 67] were re-evaluated by fitting them to the Groenevelt and Bolt [Soil Science 113 (1972) 238] constitutive shrinka

Summary The structural condition of swelling soils can be assessed from their shrinkage curves. We re-evaluated data on six British swelling soils using modern methods to model the void ratio, e, as a function of the moisture ratio, ϑ. The points on

Factors controlling the transport of mobile colloids through soils are poorly understood yet have major environmental impacts. This study attempted to identify the relative significance of two physical factors controlling movement of different illiti

The stability in water and the tensile strength of aggregates reflect the ease of fragmentation of soil by different processes. The objectives of this study were to determine if these two parameters respond to weather and soil management in a similar
