Impact of Roots on the Hydrogeological Properties of Silty Soil Covers
Mine tailings storage poses significant environmental risks such as the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD). Engineered covers offer a solution by controlling water ingress. Their performance is based on specific soil hydrogeological properties (SHPs). They must support vegetation which can impact saturated hydraulic conductivity (ksat) and water retention curve (WRC). This study assesses the impact of four-year-old willow root colonization on silty soil covers using flexible wall permeameters and water retention tests. The obtained SHPs were compared with root traits. Results suggested that the hydrogeological properties of the studied in situ samples were not significantly affected by roots. The variation of measured and predicted ksat values spanned an order of magnitude, regardless of the root colonization intensity, up to a root length density (RLD) of 2.98 cm/cm3. RLD showed a significant and positive linear relationship with measured ksat values (R2 = 0.54). However, when root colonization was low (RLD < 1 cm/cm3), RLD was negatively correlated to the nvg (R2 = 0.44) parameter of the van Genuchten WRC model, while the opposite relationship was observed for samples with RLD > 1 cm/cm3 (R2 = 0.61). Additionally, RLD and the coarse root (diameter > 1 mm) volume to fine root volume (C/F ratio) influenced WRCs. Over time, coarser roots may have a more pronounced impact on SHPs; further research is needed
期刊介绍:
The Canadian Geotechnical Journal features articles, notes, reviews, and discussions related to new developments in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, and applied sciences. The topics of papers written by researchers and engineers/scientists active in industry include soil and rock mechanics, material properties and fundamental behaviour, site characterization, foundations, excavations, tunnels, dams and embankments, slopes, landslides, geological and rock engineering, ground improvement, hydrogeology and contaminant hydrogeology, geochemistry, waste management, geosynthetics, offshore engineering, ice, frozen ground and northern engineering, risk and reliability applications, and physical and numerical modelling.
Contributions that have practical relevance are preferred, including case records. Purely theoretical contributions are not generally published unless they are on a topic of special interest (like unsaturated soil mechanics or cold regions geotechnics) or they have direct practical value.
