Morphology of soil structure of the Red-Yellow and Dusky Red Latosols of Paraná State, Brazil, by scanner image analyses
01/Feb/2008
The shape and size of aggregates define most soil characteristics, mainly the total porosity and macro and micropore distribution. This study aimed to investigate the morphology of soil aggregates of different size classes of a Red-Yellow (LBd) and a Dusky Red Latosol (LVdf) located in two respective natural toposequences, in Paraná State, Brazil, using scanner images. Undisturbed soil samples of the Bw1 and Bw2 horizons were collected in four LBd profiles and three profiles of the LVdf toposequence. After drying, […]
