Superabsorbent Polymer Effects on Soil Physical Properties and Use as a Compaction Alleviation Amendment in Surface Coal Mine Reclamation

Surface coal mine reclamation is challenged by alterations in soil characteristics, compaction being the most plant-yield reducing. Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) ability to retain large volumes of water gives them the potential to alter soil properties. Laboratory objectives were to determine how S...
