Abstract. In this paper, we present and analyze a novel global database of soil infiltration measurements, the Soil Water Infiltration Global (SWIG) database. total, 5023 curves were collected across all continents in SWIG These data either provided quality checked by scientists who performed experiments or they digitized from published articles. Data 54 different countries included with major contributions Iran, China, USA. addition to its extensive geographical coverage, cover research...
Abstract Lysimeter experiments were conducted with sandy‐clay‐loam soil to study the efficiency of two amendments in reclaiming saline‐sodic using moderately saline and SAR (sodium‐adsorption ratio) irrigation water. Gypsum obtained from industrial phosphate by‐products reagent grade Ca chloride applied packed columns irrigated (ECe = 2.16 dS m –1 ), moderate‐SAR water (SAR 4.8). was mixed prior at application rates 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 32 Mg ha , dissolved directly leaching 4.25, 8.5, 12.75,...
The removal of sodium salts from saline soils by salt tolerant crops, as alternative for costly chemical amendments, has emerged an efficient low cost technology. Lysimeter experiments were carried out on a highly sodic soil (ECe = 65.3 dS m(-1), ESP 27.4, CEC 47.9 cmole+ kg(-1), and pH 7.7) irrigated with canal water (EC 2.2 dSm(-1), SAR 4.8) to investigate reclamation efficiency under four different treatments: control (no crop no gypsum application) (C), application equivalent 100%...
Biochar has been explored as a sorbent for contaminants, soil amendment and climate change mitigation tool through carbon sequestration. Through the optimization of pyrolysis process, biochar can be designed with qualities to suit intended uses. samples were prepared from four particle sizes (100–2000 µm) three different feedstocks (oak acorn shells, jift deseeded carob pods) at temperatures (300–600 °C). The effect these combinations on properties produced was studied. yield decreased...
Phosphoric acid is increasingly used as a source of water-soluble P, but it has not been widely tested for its effectiveness in reclaiming calcareous sodic and saline-sodic soils relative to chemically equivalent rates gypsum. In lysimeters experiments, we showed that soil can be 'reclaimed' using phosphoric leaching with moderately saline irrigation water (sodium adsorption ratio = 4.1 electrical conductivity 2.2 dS/m). (50% pure) was dissolved directly the at application 450, 600 900...
The efficiency of two amendments in reclaiming saline sodic soil using moderately (EC) and moderate sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) canal water was investigated. Phosphogypsum (PG) reagent grade calcium chloride were applied to packed sandy loam columns leached with (SAR = 4, EC 2.16 dS m−1). mixed top prior leaching at application rates 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35, 40 Mg ha−1, whereas dissolved directly equivalent 4.25, 8.5, 12.75, 17.0, 21.25, 29.75, 34 respectively. Both efficiently reduced...
Abstract Biochar is increasingly recognized for its ability to enhance hydro-physical properties of soil, offering promising solutions improving soil structure, water retention, and overall agricultural productivity. In this study, sandy loam was amended at different rates (0, 15, 30, 60 t ha −1 ) biochar produced from olive pomace (Jift) pyrolysis temperatures (300, 400, 500, 600 °C), incubated 60, 90 days. The biochar-amended soils were collected analysis after each incubation period...
Six biochars derived from olive mill solid waste were prepared by varying the temperature and treatment with FeCl3. The adsorption capacity of biochar increased pyrolysis was in order pre-treated>post-treated>untreated. Langmuir isotherm pseudo-second-order kinetic models best fit experimental results. 550°C pre-treated had highest aqueous solutions (103.9 73.9 mg.g−1 at pH = 2 5, respectively). Chemisorption dominating mechanism. using wastewater 51.3 mg.g−1. This work demonstrates that can...
