Australian Journal of Soil Research archives from March 2005
Monitoring soil moisture status in a black Vertosol on the Liverpool Plains, NSW, using a combination of neutron scattering and electrical image methods.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
Accurate measurement of soil water content is necessary for the calibration of any quantitative model developed to predict water movement in soils. This may be undertaken by gravimetric determinations on core samples, by the...
Consequences of soil map unit uncertainty on environmental risk assessment.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
The increasing use of simulation models developed to evaluate environmental impacts of land management practices has placed challenging demands upon historical soil maps and associated databases (Bouma et al. 1985). Simulation...
Quantitative soil-landscape models for the Haldon and Hurunui soil sets, New Zealand.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
Soil-landscape modelling has a long history in New Zealand (Webb 1994). Limited resources and extensive landscapes with limited field access often forced soil and land resource mappers to develop generalised models of...
Soil compaction around Eucalyptus grandis roots: a micromorphological study.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
Plant growth and development depend on many environmental factors including soil compaction. The harmful effect of compaction encompasses decreases in soil porosity, structure, and permeability to air and water, with negative...
Mineral and elemental distribution in soils formed on the River Niger floodplain, eastern Nigeria.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
Studies on the mineral and elemental distribution within soils provide vital information for the assessment of their genesis and behaviour. Teveldal et al. (1990) reported that, in some soils, the depth distribution of...
Leaching of macronutrients and metals from undisturbed soils treated with metal-spiked sewage sludge. 3. Distribution of residual metals.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
In New Zealand, protection of groundwater is a major issue, and the increasing pressure for land treatment of sewage sludge has raised the question of potential nutrient and metal contamination of groundwater from this source....
Enumeration of wax-degrading microorganisms in water repellent soils using a miniaturised Most-Probable-Number method.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
Water repellency is mostly associated with sandy soils and affects more than 5 million hectares of agricultural land in western and southern Australia (Tate et al. 1989). Repellency is caused by hydrophobic substances on the...
Total soil organic matter and its labile pools following mulga (Acacia aneura) clearing for pasture development and cropping. 2. Total and labile nitrogen.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
About 150Mha of Australia originally supported mulgadominated (Acacia aneura F. Muell. Ex. Benth.) woodlands (Johnson and Burrows 1994). In Queensland, mulga forests originally occupied 11.2 Mha, of which 12% has been cleared...
Competitive sorption reactions between phosphorus and organic matter in soil: a review.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
In highly weathered soils, the phytoavailability of phosphorus (P) can be greatly reduced through sorption to sesquioxides (Pushparajah 1998). Organic matter (OM) interacts with P in soils in a variety of ways that potentially...
Responsiveness of wheat (Triticum aestivum) to liquid and granular phosphorus fertilisers in southern Australian soils.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
Phosphorus is the most expensive major nutrient used in broadacre cropping in Australia, with the cost of P fertiliser to Australian farmers being approximately $1.645 billion per year (FIFA 2004) and one third of this spent...
The influence of potassium and defoliation of ryegrass on the formation of acidic subsurface layers in stock urine patches.
March 1, 2005... Introduction
Soil acidification is a widespread problem limiting agricultural production in much of Australia (Helyar et al. 1990; Ridley et al. 1990; Dolling et al. 1991 ; Moody et al. 1998). Processes within the nitrogen (N), carbon (C),...
