Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex interactions of hydrology, soil, and vegetation emphasize the need for ongoing studies to further clarify the chemical, physical, and biological properties in soils. This publication serves as a forum for the dissemination of hydropedological research, including the quantification of soil hydromorphology by comparing observed soil hydrology with macro and micro-morphological features found in the soil profile.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil redox behaviour is fundamental in understanding soil hydromorphology, such as gleying and mottling, which are closely associated with oxidation and reduction status of Fe oxides. Riparian zones are sensitive to seasonal variation in precipitation and water table fluctuation; consequently, soil redox condition fluctuates with time and space. The frequency of soil redox changes is reflected on the dynamics of soil hydromorphism with time and space. The research goal was to explore the potential use of EM-38 electrical conductivity (EC) and magnetic susceptibility (MS) in-field measurement combined with laboratory Fe oxide characterization to understand soil redox dynamics in the Riparian Buffer Systems (RBSs). The study was conducted on three different riparian zones, namely: i) a 'Grassland riparian buffer system (GR), ii) Undisturbed natural Forest riparian buffer system (UNF), and iii) a Rehabilitated tree land riparian buffer systems (RH), located along Washington Creek, Southern Ontario. Results found that the nature and distribution of Fe oxides differed among RBSs; the UNF soil showed a higher concentration of total free Fe oxides (Fed), poorly crystalline Fe oxides (Feo), and degree of crystallinity (Feo / Fed). The UNF soil also exhibited higher variability of MS for thermomagnetic analysis. The EM-38 magnetic susceptibility showed a positive correlation with Fed in GR and RH soils for both depths (0-25 cm & 25-50 cm). However, the UNF soils deviated from this positive correlation. The in- field soil MS could be related to soil moisture level (EC) and a negative relation was observed between soil MS and soil EC. The UNF soils showed higher EC fluctuation at chamber locations in all three seasons. Greenhouse gas emission varied in relation to the soil EC and MS levels at the chamber locations. CO2 emission also positively responded to soil MS and soil EC positively responded to CH4 emission. The current study findings suggest that soil redox condition is variable among the RBSs with time and space. Soil moisture dynamics found to be the primary factor controlling the soil redox dynamics. The fluctuations of in-field MS over time had provided a useful insight into soil redox behaviour in the RBSs.

This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 1000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpretation of Micromorphological Features of Soils and Regoliths, Second Edition, provides researchers and students with a tool for interpreting features observed in soil thin sections and through submicroscopic studies. After an introduction and general overview, micromorphological aspects of regoliths (e.g., saprolites, transported materials) are highlighted, followed by a systematic and coherent discussion of the micromorphological expression of various pedogenic processes. The book is written by an international team of experts in the field, using a uniform set of concepts and terminology, making it a valuable interdisciplinary reference work. The following topics are treated: freeze-thaw features, redoximorphic features, calcareous and gypsiferous formations, textural features, spodic and oxic horizons, volcanic materials, organic matter, surface horizons, laterites, surface crusts, salt minerals, biogenic and pedogenic siliceous materials, other authigenic silicates, phosphates, sulphidic and sulphuric materials, and features related to faunal activity. The last chapters address anthropogenic features,archaeological materials and palaeosoils. Updates the first exhaustive publication on interpretation of micromorphological features, with some new chapters and with a larger number of additional references Covers related topics, making micromorphology more attractive and accessible for geomorphologists, archaeologists and quaternary geologists Includes thematic treatment of a range of soil micromorphology fields and broadens its applications Features input from a multi-disciplinary team, ensuring thorough coverage of topics related to soil science, archaeology and geomorphology

Download or read book Development of Pedotransfer Functions in Soil Hydrology written by Yakov Pachepsky and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-12-30 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental and agricultural modeling and assessment have a multitude of uses for soil parameters governing retention and transport of water and chemicals in soils. These parameters are notorious for the difficulties and high labor costs involved in measuring them. Good estimates instead of direct measurements may be accurate enough for many applications. Pedotransfer functions provide such estimates by utilizing available soil survey information to translate data we have into data we need. This book is the first book on the topic. It provides the unique compendium of pedotransfer functions, summarizes the vast international experience in this field, and shows how the value of soil data can be increased by using them in pedotransfer functions to predict soil hydrologic and related properties. The book is a rich source of information crucial for environmental research and applications.

Download or read book Digital Soil Morphometrics written by Alfred E. Hartemink and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about digital soil morphometrics which is defined as the application of tools and techniques for measuring, mapping and quantifying soil profile properties, and deriving depth functions of soil properties. The book is structured along four research topics: (i) Soil profile properties, (ii) Soil profile imaging, (iii) Soil depth functions, and (iv) Use and applications. The pedon is at the heart of digital soil morphometrics. The use of digital soil morphometrics exceeds the pedology and soil classification purpose that it currently serves – it is used in rapid soil assessment that are needed in a range of biophysical studies. Digital soil morphometrics has the potential to enhance our understanding of soils and how we view them. The book presents highlights from The IUSS Inaugural Global Workshop on Digital Soil Morphometrics held in June 2015 in Madison, USA.

This book was released on 2019-04-06 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identification of soils as ?hydric? is critical to the protection of wetlands under the Clean Water Act (CWA) (Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 2008). According to the ?Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual? (hereafter referred to as the ?Delineation Manual?) (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), the presence of a hydric soil is one of three factors that must be met in order for an area to meet the definition of a jurisdictional wetland. The other two are the presence of hydrophytic vegetation and wetland hydrology. The use of the Delineation Manual and Regional Supplements (U.S. Army, COE, 2010) is required for all Federal agencies involved in identification of wetlands that may be jurisdictional, as well as most states that have environmental programs to protect wetlands. The Delineation Manual generally is used on all lands not classified as agricultural lands. The National Food Security Act Manual (USDA, NRCS, 2008) is used on agricultural lands.
