Manufactured & artificial soil
Manufactured & artificial soils – a recipe for success? Manufactured and artificial soils are produced either to meet the requirements of a specific purpose such as a lightweight soil for green/brown infrastructure (eg green roofs), or as an alternative to importing natural soils where there is large-scale restoration of mineral workings and reclamation projects.
Integrating effects of species composition and soil properties …
Foremost among sources of uncertainty are interactions between soils and plants across altitudinal gradients. Specifically, properties that depend on the slow process of soil development from parent material weathering (e.g., nutrient content and water-holding capacity) influence growth and water use of individual trees (9, 10), exerting a …
Artificial soil: quick and dirty
The result was an artificial soil that Purdue used around its campus. "Thousands of tonnes of this material were made," says soil chemist Cliff Johnston, who worked with Tishmack on the project. The endeavour led to Soilmaker, a spin-off company that Tishmack still runs. The company no longer uses Eli Lilly's bio-sludge or the coal …
Mechanical properties of artificially structured soil and …
The presence of soil structure leads to significant differences in the mechanical properties of natural structured soils and remolded soils [1, 4, 5, 18–20]. …
Artificial soils reveal individual factor controls on
Soil matrix properties influence microbial behaviors that underlie nutrient cycling, greenhouse gas production, and soil formation. However, the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of soils makes it challenging to untangle the effects of different matrix properties on microbial behaviors. To address this challenge, we developed a tunable …
