Almost two years after ceremonial ground was broken on the Grand Transoceanic Canal of Nicaragua, the actual soil remains obdurately undisturbed by anything other than grazing cattle.
But any garden is only as good as its dirt — in this case, almost a million pounds of Rooflite Intensive, an engineered soil mix that contains no actual soil.
Finally, actual soil and coal samples were analyzed using the new methods and the US EPA Method 7473.
Effects of the limited palaeosol development on soil water holding capacity and actual soil water storage appear to be negligible.
This approach introduces a relatively high uncertainty, since the actual soil moisture content during sampling, which was not measured, may deviate considerably from the used generic value.
The impact of the different seasons on the pre-dawn plant water potential (indicating actual soil water availability) was assessed independently of other parameters.
The impact of the different seasons on the pre-dawn plant water potential (indicating the actual soil water availability) was assessed independently of other parameters.
In addition, laboratory experiments were performed to quantify the actual soil infiltrabilities in snowmelt seasons (thawed treatment) and rainy seasons (non-frozen treatment).
The current study examines the consequences of varied soil hydraulic and meteorological complexity on unsaturated zone time lag estimates using simulated and actual soil profiles.
This study used actual soil samples, and colour boards to examine the effects of static elevation changes on the sensor output.
The DEM model output was validated by comparing simulated and corresponding actual soil bin measurements using a cohesive wet sandy soil.
