Soil slaking sensitivity as influenced by soil properties in alluvial and residual humid tropical soils
2018
Purpose
In the humid Caribbean region characterized by high-intensity tropical rainfall, soil aggregate breakdown and pore blocking due to slaking pressures are major land degradation mechanisms. In this research, we investigated the susceptibility of soils to slaking pressures under rapid wetting as influenced by soil properties and the depositional origin from which the soil is formed using water-stable aggregates (WSAr) and percolation stability (PSc) as indices of the strength of aggregate inter-particle cohesion.
