• Cover crops effects on anisotropy of unsaturated soil hydraulic properties 

      Polich, Nicolás Guillermo; Lozano, Luis Alberto; Villarreal, Rafael; Salazar, María Paz; Melani, Esteban; Soracco, Carlos Germán (Elsevier, 2023-03)
      No tillage (NT) is frequently implemented in simplified agricultural systems, which has negative effects on soil physical quality. Among the suggested practices to preserve the physical fertility of soils under NT are ...
    • Cover crops effects on soil hydraulic properties in two contrasting Mollisols of Argentinean Pampas region 

      Villarreal, Rafael; Lozano, Luis Alberto; Polich, Nicolás Guillermo; Salazar, María Paz; Barraco, Miriam Raquel; Soracco, Carlos Germán (Wiley, 2022-02)
      Decreasing of physical quality of Mollisols in the Argentinean Pampas region is observed due to simplified crop rotations. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of cover cropping management on soil ...
    • Diffusivity and sorptivity determination at different soil water contents from horizontal infiltration 

      Villarreal, Rafael; Lozano, Luis Alberto; Melani, Esteban; Salazar, María Paz; Otero, María Florencia; Soracco, Carlos Germán (Elsevier, 2019-03-15)
      Determination of soil hydraulic properties under non-saturated conditions is crucial in order to describe soil water dynamics in the field. The objectives of this work were: i- to determine soil water diffusivity (D) as a ...
    • Effect of cover crops on hysteresis and anisotropy of soil hydraulic properties 

      Polich, Nicolás Guillermo; Lozano, Luis Alberto; Villarreal, Rafael; Salazar, María Paz; Bellora, Guido Lautaro; Barraco, Miriam Raquel; Soracco, Carlos Germán (Elsevier, 2022-12)
      No till is the main management system for soil conservation world-wide. In Argentina is frequently implemented in simplified crop sequences, which has negative effects on soil physical quality (SPQ). Among the suggested ...
    • Hydraulic conductivity and pore connectivity. Effects of conventional and no-till systems determined using a simple laboratory device 

      Soracco, Carlos Germán; Villarreal, Rafael; Melani, Esteban; Oderiz, Juan Agustin; Salazar, María Paz; Otero, María Florencia; Irizar, Alicia Beatriz; Lozano, Luis Alberto (Elsevier, 2019-03-01)
      Soil hydraulic conductivity is a property that describes how easily water can move through a porous space and its determination is important because it controls many soil hydrological processes. The objectives of this work ...
