Effects of pulp fibre on soil physical properties and soil erosion under simulated rainfall

Abstract: Chow, T. L., Rees, H. W., Fahmy, S. H. and Monteith, J. O. 2003. Effects of pulp fibre on soil physical properties and soil erosion under simulated rainfall. Can. J. Soil Sci. 83: 109-119. Pulp fibre, a primary type of sludge of pulp and paper mills containing approximately 40% organic C, is usually disposed of in landfills causing a potential environmental problem. This material may be used as a soil amendment to restore the productivity of organic-matter-depleted potato-producing soils in Atlantic Canada. Th… Show more

“…Amendment application significantly decreased bulk density from average of 1.21 for control to 1.12 and 1.01 Mg m −3 for 1F and 2F, and increased the total porosity from average of 54 for control to 58 and 62% for 1F and 2F, respectively. Moisture retention curves of the amended soils showed an increase of 5 to 10% (data are not reported) which is in agreement with Fahmy et al (2000), Foley and Cooperband (2002), and Chow et al (2003). Foley and Cooperband (2002) reported improved soil physical propertied in a loamy sand soil amended with paper mill and composted paper mill residuals.…”

“…Water retention characteristics between saturation and −100 cm of water matric potential (−10 kPa) were determined by a tension plate apparatus as described by Chow et al (2003). Moisture content at matric potential lower than −100 cm water was determined using a pressure plate apparatus.…”

“…Bulk density of a sandy minesoil decreased from 1.7 to 1.3 Mg m -3 through 2 yr after application of deinking sludge at 105 Mg ha -1 (Fierro et al 1999). Primary sludge applied at 160 Mg ha -1 to a gravelly loam potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) soil decreased bulk density of the plow layer (2-10 cm depth) from 1.21 Mg m -3 in the unamended control to 1.01 Mg m -3 , and also resulted in greater total porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Chow et al 2003). This improvement in soil properties Can.…”

“…Benefits to soil structure and soil chemical properties have been found in soils amended with PB (Fierro et al, 1999; Zibilske et al, 2000; Chow et al, 2003). In addition, increased enzymatic and microbial activity, suggestive of a highly available carbon pool, has been observed after PB applications (Zibilske, 1987; Lalande et al, 2003; Charest et al, 2004).…”
