Abstract |
The stability of water molecular bridges (WaMB) is investigated on the ombrotrophic organic peatland type soil. The samples of the soil collected in the north part of Scotland (UK) near the city of St...ornoway. The temperature dependence of the WaMB breaking point was measured through differential scanning calorimetry and shows how much are the organic structures inside the peat type soil susceptible to drying. The deeper peatland soil in this work showsmuch lower temperature values of WaMB breaking of around T ^ * ~ 47 °C compared to the top layer where the middle temperature of WaMB breakage is T ^ * ~ 58 °C, comparable to regular soil types. This temperature dependence shows higher susceptibility of the studied peal soil for drying and therefore higher sensitivity to changes in the water table levels and disturbance of the top layers of the soil system.show more
