Abstract Acidic soils influenced by industrial activities often constrain plant growth due to high exchangeable acidity, low nutrient availability, and poor physical structure. This study examined the short-term, dose-de...

The shear modulus and damping ratio of EPS composite soil, as a kind of artificial filling material, are the key parameters to analyze the dynamic stability of embankment. 15 cyclic torsional tests are conducted on the h...

obvious influence on the failure strain than on the initial yield strain. The non-uniform distribution of fine soil has a more significant influence on the initial yield strain than on the failure strain. Key words: fi...

Abstract The synergistic treatment of sandy soil with biopolymer and plant fiber as a soil improvement technique offers both stable strength and sustainability. However, due to the hydrophilic nature of both materials, s...

The organic matter is an important symbol of peaty soil which is different from soft clay. The content of organic matter directly affects the physiochemical properties of peaty soil, and further affects its consolidation...

Soil acidity is one of the reasons for corrosion of steel piles. The material deterioration of steel pile foundation served in the acidic soil will affect the safety and durability of pile foundation. In order to underst...

The CU triaxial tests and ring shear tests on interface between steel pipe pile and soil of a kind of intact marine soft clay with medium structure are carried out under influence of shear strain rate, and the variations...

Eight large-scale triaxial tests on coarse-grained soil with different lithologies are carried out. The effects of gradation on strength, deformation, dilatancy and particle breakage characteristics of coarse-grained soi...

Experimental researches on undisturbed soil samples are of great significance for the oil and gas exploitation in South China Sea. The physical and chemical properties of seabed soil in the slope area of South China Sea ...

Based on the actual state of the soil along rail transit in hot and rainy area, the resonant column tests on the soil under wetting and drying circles are conducted to study the stiffness characteristics of residual soil...

ObjectiveIn the arid regions of western China, the ecological restoration of waste dumps within open-pit coal mines plays a key role in green mine construction, while creating a suitable soil profile structure serves as ...

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the association between the distance to the nearest feces, the type of substrate to be studied (feces, soil, grass), and whether a given area was licensed or not with the pres...

Microorganisms are important regulators of soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and stabilization, which is modulated by soil minerals, especially iron (Fe) oxides. Here, we analyzed soils from different forest types (...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...

Protecting soils from degradation is a significant area of research in international environmental law. Almost all states face soil degradation problems and are striving to solve them at a national level. The quality of ...

Background and Objectives: This study investigates the effects of land management practices and vegetation cover on soil erosion rates in the Mashhad Plain, Northeast Iran. Methods: By employing the Universal Soil Loss...

Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) is a critical crop for food security and economic well-being in Uganda, yet yields remain below the threshold among smallholder farmers (2–3 t/ha). This is attributed to nutrient-depleted f...

In order to study the influence of non-uniform distribution of fine soil on mechanical properties of coarse-grained soil under freeze-thaw cycles, triaxial shear tests are conducted on different specimens with different ...

Soil microbial properties are increasingly recognised as a crucial metric of both soil health and soil carbon dynamics. However, these properties remain underutilised due to challenges in quantifying these properties at ...

Abstract Land use change and soil depth are key determinants of soil fertility in tropical highland agroecosystems; however, their interactive effects remain insufficiently quantified in the Ethiopian highlands. This stu...

Abstract Land-use change strongly regulates soil physical, chemical, and biogeochemical properties, with major implications for soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in the Brazilian Amazon to a depth of 30 cm. This study a...

Heavy metal soil contamination is one of the most serious environmental problems, considering both their persistence and progressive accumulation which makes possible the transference to other systems, and could potentia...

Cadmium poses severe threats to ecosystems and human health due to its high toxicity and bioaccumulative nature. The global regulatory limits for Cd are often low at 0.1-0.6 mg kg−1, which is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude...

Using specially designed low-temperature resonant column apparatus, change rules of dynamic shear moduli and damping ratio with negative temperature and their computational methods for three soils are investigated. Conce...
