Characterizing soil macroporosity by X-ray microfocus computed tomography and quantification of the coring damages.

X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray µCT) was employed to characterize vertical variations of structural porosity of a soil profile (pore dimension higher than 5.103 µm3). Three distinct horizons of a Cambisol have been studied for a total depth of 75 cm: L, S1/S2 and S2/SFe horizons. Samples have b...
