P. Kahle et H. Kretschmer, EFFECT OF ORGANIC-MATTER CONTENT ON THE C ONSISTENCY OF SEVERAL MINERAL SUBSTRATES, Zeitschrift fur Pflanzenernahrung und Bodenkunde, 157(5), 1994, pp. 393-396
The effect of organic matter content on the consistency of soils diffe
rent in texture was investigated. The shifts of the values of the cons
istency limits towards higher moisture contents are explained by diffe
rent organic matter contents. The consistency limits of plasticity and
liquidity were significantly dependent on the content of organic matt
er.
