The laser diffraction method (LDM) is a relatively new technique that is increasingly used in
measurements of the particle size distribution (PSD) of soil and sediments. It has significant …

A comparison between laser diffraction method (LDM) and the sieve-hydrometer method
(SHM) was carried out for 228 soil samples representing a different texture classification …

Agricultural dust emissions have been estimated to contribute around 20% to the global dust
burden. In contrast to dusts from arid source regions, the ice-nucleating abilities of which …

Soil particle composition is one of the main physical properties of soil that affects soil fertility,
and the fractal dimension of soil particle size distribution (PSD) can be used to quantitatively …

Grain size analyses of three hilltop, primary eolian loess sequences in the Negev desert,
southern Israel, show a bimodal grain-size distribution at 50–60 μm and 3–8 μm. Using …

Laser diffraction analysis is a fast, reliable and automated method that provides detailed and
highly resolved soil and sediment particle size distribution. In recent studies, the methods …

Core Ideas LDM was evaluated by SPM and SEM for soil PSD determination. LDM
significantly overestimated sand and silt but underestimated clay contents compared to …

Even a small net increase in soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization will cause a
substantial increase in the atmospheric CO2 concentration. It is widely recognized that the …

Recent studies have shown that soil particle size analyses using laser diffraction method
(LDM) can give compatible results compared with traditional sedimentation based methods …
