Abstract

In this study, the effects of layers formed by the mixture of grass, woodchips, leaves and cardboard on water holding capacity were investigated. Four different mixtures for layers were prepared. The layer was established in 12 weeks as specified in ČSN EN 14045 standards. The moisture content of the mixtures ranged from 47% to 48% and the C:N ratio ranged from 30: 1 to 31: 1. The first mixture contained no cardboard, while the others contained different amount of cardboard. This type of work is not only important in terms of waste utilization, but also in terms of studies on erosion control by increasing the soil water holding capacity.

Toprak Su Tutma Kapasitesini Arttırılmasında Atık Kağıt Tabakası Takviyesinin Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada çimen, odun talaşı, yapraklar ve mukavva kağıt atıklarından oluşan bir karışım ile oluşturulan katmanların toprak içerisinde su tutma kapasitesine olan etkileri araştırılmıştır. Dört farklı karışım hazırlanmıştır. Mukavvadan oluşan kağıt atıkları tabakası ČSN EN 14045 standartlarında belirtildiği şekilde 12 haftada oluşturulmuştur. Karışımların nem içeriği % 47 ile 48 arasında ve C:N oranı ise 30:1 ile 31:1 arasında değişmiştir. İlk karışımda mukavva yer almazken diğer karışımlarda farklı oranlarda mukavva bulunmaktadır. Bu tip çalışmalar sadece atık değerlendirilmesi açısından değil aynı zamanda toprak su tutma kapasitesini arttırarak erozyon kontrolü ile ilgili çalışmalar açısından da çok önemlidir.
