Soil compressibility of three Latosols (oxisols) as a function of moisture and use

01/Jun/1999

Using the compressibility test, the effect of soil management and moisture content on the preconsolidation pressure (σp) of three soils, a Red-Yellow Latosol (LV), a Dusk Red Latosol (LR) and a Dark-Red Latosol (LE) under annual crop, natural forest and pasture, was studied in the area of Lavras (MG) at two depths (0-0.03 and 0.27-0.30 m). For each condition, five undisturbed soil samples and a disturbed one were collected, with three replications. The undisturbed soil samples with different soil moisture […]
