Impact of Plant Root Morphology on Rooted-Soil Shear Resistance Using Triaxial Testing by Suyun Meng, Guoqing Zhao, Yuyou Yang

“…In this study, Golden Vicary Privet was used to create a rooted-soil, and a triaxial test method was used for soil mechanical property analysis. The influence of the root geometry (root diameter and individual root length) and distribution characteristics (root density and root distribution angle) on the rooted-soil shearing strength was studied by controlling the root morphology in the specimens. …”

Comparative Study on the Field- and Lab-Based Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Expansive Soils by Bakht Zamin, Hassan Nasir, Muhammad Ali Sikandar, Waqas Ahmad, Beenish Jehan Khan, Mahmood Ahmad, Muhammad Tariq Bashir

“…Therefore, it is crucial to assess them as unsaturated soil, and the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an essential tool for measuring unsaturated soils’ mechanical and hydraulic properties. The main objective of this study was to establish both field- and lab-based SWCCs for the expansive soils and compare them for determining the possible difference between them. …”

Relationship Between Soil Aggregate Stability and Associated Carbon and Nitrogen Changes Under Different Ecological Construction Measures in the Karst Region of Southwest China by Meiting Li, Keqin Wang, Xiaoyi Ma, Mingsi Fan, Biyu Li, Yali Song

“…This study aims to quantify the effects of various ecological construction measures on soil aggregate stability, including focusing on geometric mean diameter (GMD), mean weight diameter (MWD), and K values, as well as aggregate-related organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN), soil mechanical composition, and aggregate content. The ecological construction measures examined include plantation forests (Y7th–rgl), restored forests (Y6th–zr), fruit forests (Y6th–jgl), and contour reverse slope terraces (Y1th–crt). …”
