  2. 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 ...

  3. Air sparging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_sparging

    Air sparging, also known as in situ air stripping [1] and in situ volatilization is an in situ remediation technique, used for the treatment of saturated soils and groundwater contaminated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like petroleum hydrocarbons, [2] a widespread problem for the ground water and soil health.

  4. Pore space in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_space_in_soil

    The pore space of soil contains the liquid and gas phases of soil, i.e., everything but the solid phase that contains mainly minerals of varying sizes as well as organic compounds. In order to understand porosity better a series of equations have been used to express the quantitative interactions between the three phases of soil.

  5. Soil compaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_compaction

    In geotechnical engineering, soil compaction is the process in which stress applied to a soil causes densification as air is displaced from the pores between the soil grains. When stress is applied that causes densification due to water (or other liquid) being displaced from between the soil grains, then consolidation, not compaction, has occurred.

  6. Aquifer properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_properties

    where is void ratio, is porosity, V V is the volume of void-space (air and water), V S is the volume of solids, and V T is the total or bulk volume of medium. [1] The significance of the porosity is that it gives the idea of water storage capacity of the aquifer. Qualitatively, porosity less than 5% is considered to be small, between 5 and 20% ...

  7. Permeability of soils - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_of_soils

    Soil air is relatively moist compared with atmospheric air, and CO 2 concentrations tend to be higher, while O 2 is usually quite a bit lower. O 2 levels are higher in well-aerated soils, which also have higher levels of CH 4 and N 2 O than atmospheric air.

    These soil surfaces on the Great Wall are covered by a “living skin” of tiny, rootless plants and microorganisms known as biocrusts that are a source of the heritage site’s staying power ...

  9. Bioclogging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioclogging

    Entrapment of gas bubbles such as methane [15] produced by methane-producing microorganisms clog the soil pore and contributes to decreasing hydraulic conductivity. As gas is also microbial byproduct, it can also be considered to be bioclogging. Iron bacteria stimulate ferric oxyhydroxide deposition which may cause clogging of soil pores. [16]
