Abstract:Soil shrinkage and sealing index are important for understanding water and solute transport in soils. Effects of long-term cultivation systems on the soil shrinkage, sealing and hydro-physical properties of Vertisols in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Northern Egypt were studied. The cultivation systems were fruit trees (FT), field crops (FC), vegetables crops (VC), and noncultivated soil (NC). Forty eight samples were collected from sixteen soil profiles (three layers: 0-30, 30-60 and 60-100 cm) from different lo… Show more
