CHARACTERIZATION OF THE POROUS STRUCTURE OF CHILEAN VOLCANIC SOILS BY NITROGEN ADSORPTION AND MERCURY POROSIMETRY
Pore volume, specific surface area (SSA), and total intragranular porosity (TIP) of Chilean soils derived from volcanic materials were studied. Soil samples involving the 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth of virgin and cultivated Collipulli (Ultisol) and Diguillín (Andisol) soils at two particle size fraction...

The clay fraction of Collipulli has macropores (dpore from 2000 nm to 40000 nm) and mesopores (dpore from 3 nm to 23 nm), while for Diguillín clay-size fraction most of the porosity comes from macropores (dpore from 50 nm to 800 nm).
