Seasonal flooding and rice cultivation effects on the pore size distribution …

In this work we evaluated the effects of a) rice cultivation under flooding conditions and b) seasonal flooding (May- October) without cultivation, on the pore size distribution of a SiL soil. Soil cores were collected from two different depth intervals (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm). After two years under flooding conditions, textural porosity increased at the expense of structural porosity. A perc…
