In this work, the soil temperature at depth was measured in the laboratory, and a mathematical model to fit the temperature pro. le in volcanic soils classified as Ultisols and Andisols was used. The mathematical model ...

For the thermal characterization of a soil it is necessary to determine its thermal properties, because they describe how the storage and the propagation of thermal energy vary a function of time and depth. This knowledge ...

Understanding the soil thermal properties, in particular, diffusivity , volumetric capacity and conductivity is important in applications of several related areas, mainly soil-plant-atmosphere interaction. Studies to ...

Starch is the major component of potato tubers, amounting approximately to 150-200 g kg (-1) of the tuber weight. Starch is considered to be a major factor for the functionality of the potato in food applications. This ...

Para caracterizar a dinâmica térmica do solo é necessário determinar suas propriedades térmicas, pois são elas que descrevem como a energia térmica é armazenada e distribuída de acordo com o tempo e a profundidade. Assim, ...
