Effects of Pisha sandstone additions on microstructural stability of sandy soil in Mu Us Sandy Land, China
The degradation of soil structure in sandy regions undermines soil functionality and poses a significant threat to environmental sustainability. The incorporation of Pisha sandstone, a natural soil amendment, has been recognized as an effective intervention to reduce soil erosion and expand arable land in the Mu Us Sandy Land, China. However, the microstructural stability and resilience of amended sandy soil formed by mixing Pisha sandstone with sandy soils remain inadequately understood. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Pisha sandstone addition on the microstructural stability of sandy soils. Four amendment rates of Pisha sandstone (16.7 %, 33.3 %, 50 %, and 100 % w/w) and five water content levels (40 %-80 %) were tested. Key parameters related to microstructural stability and structural resilience were assessed using amplitude sweep and rotational shear tests via a rheometer. Results indicated that soil shear resistance (τLVR, τmax, τy), storage modulus (G'YP) and viscosity (η0) decreased with the addition of Pisha sandstone, attributed to its lubricating effect and swelling properties. Additionally, Pisha sandstone enhanced physical elasticity (γLVR) and structural recovery of sandy soil under conditions of low disturbance. However, when water content exceeded 50 %, the fluidity of the amended sandy soil increased with Pisha sandstone addition. The sandy soil with a Pisha sandstone addition rate of 16.7 % exhibited optimal structural elasticity, shear resistance, and stiffness. These findings provide valuable insights into the enhancement of sandy soil structural stability using Pisha sandstone, offering a scientific foundation for refining amendment ratios and advancing agricultural management practices.
期刊介绍:
Soil & Tillage Research examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research:
The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.
