Particulate organic matter, soil texture and mineralogy relations in some Eastern Cape ecotopes in South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: AD Nciizah --- Department of Agronomy, South Africa IIC Wakindiki --- Department of Agronomy, South AfricaContrasting reports have been given on the relationships between soil texture, mineralogy and particulate organic matter (POM). The objective of this study was to determine the effects of soil texture and mineralogy on aggregate POM in several ecotopes in the... -
Physical crust formation and steady-state infiltration rate in soils dominated by primary minerals in some South African ecotopes
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Adornis D Nciizah --- Department of Agronomy, South Africa Isaiah IC Wakindiki --- Department of Agronomy, South AfricaPhysical crust formation is affected by the inherent soil properties such as texture and mineralogy. However, inconsistencies exist in soil mineralogy effects of soil crusting. In addition, investigations of soils dominated by primary minerals such as quartz, especially in South...
