There is a wide range of parent materials, but most sandy soils are formed in aeolian, marine, and outwash deposits and sandy soils occur mainly in dunes and coastal and outwash plains. Nearly three-quarters of the sandy soil area are over 100 cm deep. Sandy soils are contained primarily...

Soil structure changes is a major constraint for agriculture. However the sandy soils are particularly sensitive to degradation because their low clay and organic matter contents. However in South Brazil the sandy soils are systematically used for agriculture. This work is as part of a long-term ...
Information on the effectiveness of soil conditioners over a prolonged period is scarce. A laboratory experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of a polyacrylamide (Broadleaf P4) soil conditioner on the physical properties of sandy soil subjected to wetting and drying cycles. Four concentr...
Biochar, organic manure, and their combination are promising organic amendment for improving hydro-physical properties of sandy soils. It has been investigated the effect of organic manures and biochar on some selective soil physical properties after 6 years of maize-black gram cropping system in a ...

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is one of the environmentally friendly ways to improve engineering properties of sandy soil. A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the effect of randomly distributed discrete fiber on the mechanical properties of MICP-treated soil and to discover...
The aim of this project was to elucidate the differences of soil properties and vegetation characteristics between Horqin sandy grassland and Mu Us sandy grassland, in order to provide the basis for the recovery of degraded sandy ecosystems, for the management and utilization, and for the strategies...
exert many beneficial effects on soil properties and productivity. Nevertheless, under some circumstances, e.g. in the absence of soil liming, such rotations may have also deteriorative effects on some properties (e.g. soil pH and aggregation) of loamy sandy soils (Luvisols). Regardless of th...
Cereal yield Sandy soil Semivariograms Soil properties Spatial variation 1. Introduction Sandy soils are used in agriculture in many regions of the world (Bronick and Lal, 2005, Schjønning et al., 2009, Jankowski et al., 2011). In Poland, approximately 50% of soils were derived from san...
