Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Some of the Physical Properties of Soil The behaviour of actual soils under known conditions has been made as far as possible the foundation of the conclusions drawn. A great mass of results has accumulated from the investigations made in the very numerous Agricultural Experiment Stations in Europe and America; with these results the agricultural teacher is too often unacquainted. His valid excuse is the scattered publication of the reports, and his want of time to correlate the several results recorded. The writer hopes that the publication of these lectures will stimulate others to labour in the abundant harvest field of Experiment Station Reports. It must ever be borne in mind that it is only on the results of experimental investigations that Agricultural Science can be safely built. The reader will probably be surprised that so little is said respecting English soils, and so much respecting the soils of America. The writer heartily wishes that this might have been otherwise. In fact, however, the physical constitution and properties of English soils have as yet not been investigated, save in a very few exceptional cases; this has been doubtless due to the great lack of investigators and research laboratories in this country. The general properties of soils can of course be equally well illustrated by any well studied examples, but the deficiency of knowledge of our own local soils is nevertheless a very real evil, and must greatly hinder the practical application of general principles.

Download or read book Moisture Content and Physical Condition of Soils Classic Reprint written by Frank K. Cameron and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moisture Content and Physical Condition of Soils One particular water content has been given special consideration. It is perfectly well known to agriculturists generally and greenhouse men especially that there is a particular water content (or perhaps a more or less narrow range of water content) differing with each soil at which plants grow best, other conditions being the same. This is popularly known as the optimum water content, and is supposed to be that content from which plants draw most readily their needed supply; in other words, the Optimum water content is supposed to be determined by the physiological necessities of the plant rather than by the physical properties of the soil. There are difficulties, however, for which this view fails to offer sufficient and satisfactory explana tion. Plants can do quite well in soils containing considerably less than the optimum water content, other conditions being favorable. That is to say, there is no decided or sharp falling off in the plant growth corresponding with a lowering of the water content until the drought limit is approached, a limit generally much below the Optimum; and, on the other hand, there is no especial difficulty in carrying some of our common crops to a satisfactory maturity in water cultures. The investigation described in the following pages Shows conclusively not only that physical condition and the several properties on which it depends have an intimate relation with the water content of the soil, but that there is marked accentuation in these properties at a critical water content; and that this critical con tent is identical with the optimum water content. The moisture penetration curve shows a minimum force required for penetration at the optimum water content; the moisture-apparent Specific gravity curve shows a minimum point at the Optimum water content; the curves for evaporation show a marked difference in the rate of evapo ration above and below the optimum water content. It is apparent, therefore, that the true significance of optimum water content is that particular content at which the soil can be put into the best possible condition for plant growth. The plant can then best draw its needed water from the soil because all the other factors making for good growth are also at their best. Moreover, an increase in water content in excess of the optimum generally produces a greater detrimental effect on the plant than a decrease below the optimum.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Effect of Fertilizers on the Physical Properties of Hawaiian Soils It has been the custom in Hawaii since agriculture was first placed upon a commercial basis to stimulate crops with heavy applications of mineral fertilizers. This procedure has been maintained in spite of the fact that a majority of the soils are naturally well supplied with plant food, in some instances abnormally so.

Download or read book Bioavailability of Contaminants in Soils and Sediments written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-05-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioavailability refers to the extent to which humans and ecological receptors are exposed to contaminants in soil or sediment. The concept of bioavailability has recently piqued the interest of the hazardous waste industry as an important consideration in deciding how much waste to clean up. The rationale is that if contaminants in soil and sediment are not bioavailable, then more contaminant mass can be left in place without creating additional risk. A new NRC report notes that the potential for the consideration of bioavailability to influence decision-making is greatest where certain chemical, environmental, and regulatory factors align. The current use of bioavailability in risk assessment and hazardous waste cleanup regulations is demystified, and acceptable tools and models for bioavailability assessment are discussed and ranked according to seven criteria. Finally, the intimate link between bioavailability and bioremediation is explored. The report concludes with suggestions for moving bioavailability forward in the regulatory arena for both soil and sediment cleanup.
