A First Insight on the Interaction between Desiccation Cracking and Water Transfer in a Luvisol of Belgium
peer reviewed ; The present paper presents the interactions between water retention/evaporation and cracking during the desiccation of intact and disturbed Belgian Luvisol. The disturbed (DS) and undisturbed (NDS) samples (reduced-tillage-residue-in (RTRI) and conventional-tillage-residue-out (CTRO)) were collected from an agricultural field in Gembloux, Wallonia, Belgium. The drying experiment took place in controlled laboratory conditions at 25 °C. Moisture content, soil suction and surface cracks were monitored with a precision balance, a tensiometer and a digital camera, respectively. The... Mehr ...
