Characterization of hydrologic parameters and processes in shrink-swell clay soils

Creator:

Stewart, Ryan D.

Abstract:

Vertisols and other vertic-intergrade soils are found all over the globe, including many agricultural and urban areas. These soils are characterized by their cyclical shrinking and swelling behaviors, where bulk density and porosity distribution both vary as functions of time and/or soil moisture. In turn, alterations in physical soil parameters...
