Different land uses resulted in significantly higher bulk density, lower cation exchange capacity, SOC, soil N, soil C/N ratio, and SOC stocks in croplands compared to forestlands.
The 'cryostatic pressure' that develops as the freezing fronts merge results in a higher bulk density of the soil.
Granules prepared from PVP resulted in an overall higher bulk density, granule size, increased flow properties, and better compression and compaction behavior.
This is especially prevalent in objects with a higher bulk tin content (>10% Sn), where loss of surface copper is known to facilitate the development of a stable patina12,13,14.
Extraction of lignin from the autohydrolysed lignocellulosic materials can be applied to produce a solid residue rich in cellulose and with higher bulk density than untreated and autohydrolysed biomass.
While there is still a higher bulk modulus in the lens nucleus than in the cortical region of the lens, this displays a locally fluctuating pattern.
There was a tendency for higher SOC in converted land, associated with higher bulk density suggesting quality based land use selection with forest left on inferior soils.
Densification of maize cobs will result in improvedenergy density, lower volume (higher bulk density), and better mechanical handling [7, 8].
Lower porosities and higher bulk densities in the subsoil are usually associated with a relatively low degree of structural development and a higher state of compaction due to the weight of the overlying soil (Foth 1990).
However, for both variants the virgin compression section of the stress/bulk density functions displayed similar compression behaviour; and generally higher settlement for conventional tillage in the compression test did not result in higher dry bulk densities than with conservation tillage.
