Sentence examples for measuring physical soil from inspiring English sources

This new trend is evident from an increased number of (tillage) studies concerning the development of sensors for measuring physical soil properties.

In this study a fuzzy logic expert system was developed which allows us to evaluate the potential plant productivity of restored soils based on measured physical soil parameters.

Major differences between APS and CC in almost all of the measured physical and chemical soil properties provide a basis for controlled studies to understand why EPN taxa responded differently to these treatments and how APS and soils generally might be modified to conserve the beneficial activities of nematodes.

"The survey did not measure physical activity.

Laboratory and field experiments were conducted in the Anjeni watershed in the Ethiopian highlands, to measure soil physical properties including soil moisture retention and infiltration rates.

The tillage treatment effects were evaluated by measuring several biological, chemical, and physical soil quality indicators.

Moreover, it is difficult to measure fluxes without disturbing the physical soil environment and/or the biological processes that produce the fluxes, leading to frequent concerns that observed results are artifacts of a particular method (Groffman et al. 2006).

This paper describes an attempt to measure soil physical properties, on paired fields of organic and conventionally managed soils taken from various locations in the UK, using soil aggregate stability, bulk density and organic matter as well as soil morphological analysis with the aid of image analysis, focusing on soil structure measured at different scales (meso (mm) and microscale (μm)).

An important caveat of our work is that we did not measure soil physical and chemical properties known to affect plant growth, and hence cannot determine the contribution of habitat diversity associated with soil heterogeneity to variation in plant community structure among the islands.

Application of poultry manure had a consistent positive effect on increasing grain yields and N uptake in 2000 and 2001 but did not significantly alter measured soil physical properties.

Each restoration plot was cleared of BSC (removal of the upper 1 4 cm) and then checked for recovery every 6 months by measuring surface hardness, chlorophyll content, chemical and physical soil parameters, and identification of new established species.
