Mineral fertilizers and organic amendment can affect the various soil organic matter (SOM) pools and the distribution of organic carbon (OC) and nitrogen (N) in these pools. It is unknown how OC and N are distributed ...
Fractal dimension fd, was used as one of the parameters to describe dessicationcracking pattern of a remolded Black Cotton soil (Eutric Vertisol). The fractal dimension computed from filtered, thinned and skeletonized...
The need to study the shrink-swell and crack properties of vertic soils has long been recognized given their dynamics in time and space, which modifies the physical properties that impact water and air movement in the...
The name of Vertisol is derived from Latin “vertere” meaning to invert. This case restricts development of soil horizons in profile. These soils have the capacity to swell and shrink, inducing cracks in the upper pa...
