3. Soil gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_gas

   Soil gases (soil atmosphere [1]) are the gases found in the air space between soil components. The spaces between the solid soil particles, if they do not contain water, are filled with air. The primary soil gases are nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. [2] Oxygen is critical because it allows for respiration of both plant roots and soil ...

4. Soil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil

   A typical soil is about 50% solids (45% mineral and 5% organic matter), and 50% voids (or pores) of which half is occupied by water and half by gas. [32] The percent soil mineral and organic content can be treated as a constant (in the short term), while the percent soil water and gas content is considered highly variable whereby a rise in one ...

5. Soil respiration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_respiration

   Researchers will grow a C 4 plant on soil that was previously occupied by a C 3 plant or vice versa. By taking soil respiration measurements and analyzing the isotopic ratios of the CO 2 it can be determined whether the soil respiration is mostly old versus recently formed carbon. For example, maize, a C 4 plant, was grown on soil where spring ...

6. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

   The specific heat of pure water is ~ 1 calorie per gram, the specific heat of dry soil is ~ 0.2 calories per gram, hence, the specific heat of wet soil is ~ 0.2 to 1 calories per gram (0.8 to 4.2 kJ per kilogram). [90] Also, a tremendous energy (~584 cal/g or 2442 kJ/kg at 25 °C) is required to evaporate water (known as the heat of ...
