Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

ABSTRACT
A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of organic
matters addition and water stress on some soil thermal properties.
Experimental field, located in the Desert Research Center station in Ras
Sudr, South Sinai governorate. Three rates (5, 10 and 15 ton/fed) were
used of chicken manure and compost. Three levels of irrigation water
(40, 60 and 80% from available water) were applied using drip irrigation
system for planted Pearl millet (Pennisetum Glaucum L.). The soil
temperature was recorded and moisture content was determined for three
soil depths at 0-5, 5-10 and 10-15 cm, during July, August and
September months. Heat content was calculated in Calories for each soil
depth. The results showed that, the addition of organic matters (chicken
manure and compost) caused to decrease in the soil temperature during
July and August, and they had an opposite reaction during September as
they caused to increase the soil temperature. Organic matters act as a
buffer to changes in soil temperature. Organic matters (chicken manure
and compost) affects the soil temperature and soil heat content. Since
organic matter absorb and retain moisture so the soil treated with it has
high amounts of moisture. Therefore, the use of organic matters is a
source of moisture, and as such, it is recommended that farmers should
know how to effectively manipulate organic matters to ensure that
moisture is maintained even during dry spells. This is important because
it helps farmers manage soil under the influence of climate change

INTRODUCTION
Soil thermal properties is essential when assessing heat transport in
soils. Thermal regime of soils is associated with many other soil processes
(water evaporation and diffusion, plant transpiration, contaminants behavior
etc.). thermal properties play an important role to ensure optimal emergence

and crop growth Bradford, (1995). The measurement of thermal properties
is also necessary for determining mass and energy exchange processes
which take place in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Therefore,
investigating soil thermal properties helps evaluate optimum conditions for
plant growth and development, and is important for controlling soil thermal
moisture regime Usowicz, (1992). Soil temperature is one of the important
factors that influence soil properties processes involved in plant growth. It
governs the soil physical, chemical and biological processes Buchan,
(2001). It also influences the interspheric processes of gas exchange between
the atmosphere and the soil Lehnert, (2013). The amount of radiation
received by the soil affects soil temperature, biological processes such as;
seed germination, seedling emergence, plant root growth and the availability
of nutrients Probert, (2000). The temperature of the soil alters the rate of
organic matter decomposition and the mineralization of different organic
materials in the soil Davidson and Janssens, (2006). Soil temperature also
affects soil water retention, transmission and availability to plants. The
manner in which heat flows through the soil is of considerable importance in
plant cultural practices in general. Specifically, it affects plant-root activity
with respect to the uptake of nutrients, water, etc., and in engineering uses of
the soil. Heat conduction in soils is governed by thermal properties. Thermal
properties of soil influence the partition of energy at the ground surface, and
are related to the soil temperature and the transfer of heat and water across
the ground surface Nwadibia et al., (2010). The knowledge of thermal
properties of soil is essential to study the surface energy and radiation
budgets, to quantify surface temperature and heat storage required in
agriculture, for germination rate, etc. The thermal properties are strongly
dependent on the variation with the water content of the soil. Soil water
improves the thermal contact between the soil particles, and replaces air,
which has 20 times lower thermal conductivity than water Hanks and
Ashcroft, (1986). The heat capacity per unit volume of soil is the quantity of
heat needed to raise the temperature of a unit volume of soil by one degree
Kelvin. Thermal conductivity of soil is the amount of heat transferred
through a unit in unit time under a unit temperature gradient. It is a measure
of the ability to conduct heat and is dependent upon the bulk density and the
soil water content. Increasing soil bulk density increases the thermal
conductivity. Soil thermal capacity is rather stable fora wide range of soil
moisture content. Liu et al., (2008) investigated the variations of the soil
thermal parameters with soil moisture using a series of one-year continuous
106 Egypt. J. of Appl. Sci., 35 (9) 2020
observation. They noted that the soil thermal conductivity increases as a
power function of soil moisture, whereas the heat capacity changes are
relatively small. Guan et al., (2009) found a relationship between the soil
thermal properties and soil moisture.
Soil temperature affects many physical, chemical, and biological soil
properties, and the plants growing in it.
– It affects plant and microorganism growth.
– It affects many soil environmental processes such as soil
drying by evaporation (therefore, water content).
– It affects water movement and retention in soils.
– It affects soil formation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Field experiment was carried out in the Agricultural Field
Experiment Station of the Desert Research Center in Ras Sudr, South
Sinai Governorate, calcareous loamy sand soil texture, to study the effect
of addition different types of organic matters and different levels of water
stress on some soil thermal properties. The experimental treatments were,
three rates (5, 10 and 15 ton/fed) of chicken manure and compost. These
treatments were added to soil two weeks before planting and mixed in 15
cm soil depth. Three levels of irrigation water (40, 60 and 80% from
available water). Pearl millet (Pennisetum Glaucum L.) was planted in 8th
June, 2019 under drip irrigation system. Source of irrigation water used
from a well, which has EC, 9.47 dS/m and Sodium adsorption ratio
(SAR) 13. All plots received the recommended rates of NPK mineral
fertilizers were as follows phosphorus as 100 kg/fed of calcium
superphosphate (15.5% P2O5) as before cultivation, potassium as 75
kg/fed of potassium sulphate (48-50% K2O) and nitrogen as 120 kg/fed
of ammonium sulphate (20.5%N). Nitrogen and potassium were divided
into three equal portions and were applied at seedling, vegetation and
yield formation stages to fulfill the needs of plant growth. Each treatment
consists of 3 plots, each one was 4 m2. Data of soil analyses according to
Klute, (1986) were tabulated in Table (1). Cutting the plants was done in
three stages; the first cutting was 35 days after planting, the second and
the third cuttings were after 70 and 105 days from the first cutting. After
cutting, when plants 10 cm height, soil samples were taken to determined
soil moisture content. soil temperature was determined and recorded at
Egypt. J. of Appl. Sci., 35 (9) 2020 107
the same time every hour from 6:00 AM until 6:00 PM through July,
August and September for 0-5, 5-10 and 10-15 cm soil depth. Digital
thermometer was used to record soil temperature Taylor and Jackson,
(1965). To calculate soil heat content, air temperature was measured at 1
meter height above soil surface by using thermometer. Heat content was
calculated as Calories for each soil layer and the total heat retained was
calculated by the following equations
H = (ms*cs) + (mw*cw)
where:
H = heat content of the soil in Calories
cs = specific heat in Calorie/g/ ºC of dry soil particles
cw = specific heat in Calorie/g/ ºC of soil water
ms = mass of dry soil profiles.
mw = mass of water
ΗΤ = Hs + Hw
where:
ΗΤ = total amount of heat retained in each layer
Hs = amount of heat retained by solid particles
Hw = amount of water heat.
Hs is the product of the mass of the oven dry soil particles and
heat capacity the soil and Hw was estimated by multiplying the
volumetric water content (θV) of each soil layer and the heat capacity of
water. Afterwards, the of treatments obtained via multiplying (ΗΤ) by the
recorded soil temperature at the considered time.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Soil temperature, soil moisture content and soil heat content of the
studied soil as affected by various treatments are given in Tables (2-10).
From Table (2) Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed chicken manure
108 Egypt. J. of Appl. Sci., 35 (9) 2020
soil depth 0-5 cm under 40% from available water at 6-9 AM in July
causes to change soil temperature from 26.27 ºC in control to 25.63,
25.32 and 25.21 ºC respectively. Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed
compost causes to change soil temperature from 26.27 ºC in control to
25.18, 25.84 and 25.10 ºC respectively. Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15
ton/fed chicken manure causes to change soil moisture content from
13.38% in control to 17.84, 18.12 and 18.13% respectively. Soil treated
with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed compost causes to change soil moisture content
from 13.38% in control to 18.22, 18.49 and 19.57% respectively. Soil
treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed chicken manure causes to change soil
heat content from 388 Cal/g soil in control to 416, 422 and 430 Cal/g soil
respectively. Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed compost causes to
change soil heat content from 388 Cal/g soil in control to 447, 471 and
497 Cal/g soil respectively. The minimum soil temperature was 21.88 ºC
at 6-9 AM in 10-15 cm for soil treated with 15 ton/fed compost, soil
moisture content was 10.08% at 3-6 PM in 0-5 cm for control and soil
heat content was 364 Cal/g soil at 6-9 AM in 10-15 cm for control. The
maximum soil temperature was 32.96 ºC at 12-3 PM in 0-5 cm for
control, soil moisture content was 20.34% at 6-9 AM in 10-15 cm for soil
treated with 15 ton/fed compost and soil heat content was 587 Cal/g soil
at 12-3 PM in 0-5 cm for soil treated with 15 ton/fed compost. The soil
heat content under 15 ton/fed compost treatment was higher than that of
the other treatments under 40% from available water. This result is in
agreement with those of Gamliel and Stapleton, (1993) and Elia (2019).
This finding may attributed to the presence of high moisture content in
the soil layer treated with compost. The results declared that the values of
soil heat content for chicken manure treatments was lower than the
values of soil heat content for compost treatments. In the same time, it
was noticed that the values of the soil heat content in the layers 0-5, 5-10
and 10-15 cm of control was lower than the soil heat content values of
each of all chicken manure and compost treatments. As the amount of
chicken manure and compost increased, the soil heat content also
increased. Therefore, soil treated with high organic matters will have
high heat content because organic matters do not easily loss or gain heat
and hence increases the heat content and more heat is stored.

Table (3) Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed chicken manure at
soil depth 0-5 cm under 60% from available water at 6-9 AM in July
causes to change soil temperature from 26.20 ºC in control to 26.03,
25.77 and 25.39 ºC respectively. Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed
compost causes to change soil temperature from 26.20 ºC in control to
25.26, 25.22 and 25.12 ºC respectively. Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15
ton/fed chicken manure causes to change soil moisture content from
11.64% in control to 16.77, 17.02 and 17.15% respectively. Soil treated
with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed compost causes to change soil moisture content
from 11.64% in control to 17.40, 17.76 and 18.96% respectively. Soil
treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed chicken manure causes to change soil
heat content from 386 Cal/g soil in control to 412, 418 and 426 Cal/g soil
respectively. Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed compost causes to
change soil heat content from 386 Cal/g soil in control to 441, 464 and
490 Cal/g soil respectively. The minimum soil temperature was 22.28 ºC
at 9-12 AM in 10-15 cm for soil treated with 15 ton/fed compost, soil
moisture content was 8.34% at 3-6 PM in 0-5 cm for control and soil heat
content was 363 Cal/g soil at 6-9 AM in 10-15 cm for control. The
maximum soil temperature was 33.15 ºC at 12-3 PM in 0-5 cm for
control, soil moisture content was 19.84% at 6-9 AM in 10-15 cm for soil
treated with 15 ton/fed compost and soil heat content was 576 Cal/g soil
at 12-3 PM in 0-5 cm for soil treated with 15 ton/fed compost. Data
reveal that there is considerable variation of heat content along with
water content. Also, there was an increment in heat content with
increasing the rate of water applied to the soil. This may be due to the
amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of soil is strongly
related to water content. It takes only 0.2 calories of heat energy to
increase the temperature of 1 gram of dry soil 1 °C; compared with 1.0
calories per gram per degree for water Kohnke, (1982). The obvious
effect of adding 15 ton/fed compost on increasing the soil heat content
could be attributed to its black color and keep the higher water holding
capacity. This is because the high absorptivity of dark colors to incidence
of solar radiation.

25.82 and 25.42 ºC respectively. Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed
compost causes to change soil temperature from 26.09 ºC in control to
25.27, 25.23 and 25.13 ºC respectively. Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15
ton/fed chicken manure causes to change soil moisture content from
9.89% in control to 15.69, 16.03 and 16.17% respectively. Soil treated
with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed compost causes to change on soil moisture
content from 9.89% in control to 16.59, 17.04 and 18.34% respectively.
Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed chicken manure causes to change
soil heat content from 383 Cal/g soil in control to 408, 414 and 421 Cal/g
soil respectively, this result agreed with Elia (2019) and Chishala et al.,
(2019). Soil treated with 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed compost effects on soil heat
content from 383 Cal/g soil in control to 436, 458 and 482 Cal/g soil
respectively. The minimum soil temperature was 22.43 ºC at 9-12 AM in
10-15 cm for soil treated with 15 ton/fed compost, soil moisture content
was 6.60% at 3-6 PM in 0-5 cm for control and soil heat content was 361
Cal/g soil at 6-9 AM in 10-15 cm for control. The maximum soil
temperature was 33.35 ºC at 12-3 PM in 0-5 cm for control, soil moisture
content was 19.34% at 6-9 AM in 10-15 cm for soil treated with 15
ton/fed compost and soil heat content was 564 Cal/g soil at 12-3 PM in 0-
5 cm for soil treated with 15 ton/fed compost. The higher moisture
content lowers soil temperature due to the higher of below heat
vaporization of water molecules ≈ 585 Cal/g. Therefore, the temperature
of the lower layer was always less than the upper one. According Edem
(2015) organic matters inclusion at any rate dampen heat transfer in the
soil.
Data in Tables (5-7) reveal that the same trend, in August but the
total soil heat content was higher in August than the total heat content in
July this due to increased air and soil temperatures through August.

CONCLUSION
The addition of organic matters (chicken manure and compost)
caused to decrease in the soil temperature during July and August, and
they had an opposite reaction during September as they caused to
increase the soil temperature. Organic matters act as a buffer to changes
in soil temperature. Organic matters (chicken manure and compost)
affects soil temperature and soil heat content. Since organic matter
absorb and retain moisture so the soil treated with it has high amounts of
moisture. Therefore, the use of organic matters is a source of moisture,
and as such, it is recommended that farmers should know how to
effectively manipulate organic matters to ensure that moisture is
maintained even during dry spells. This is important because it helps
farmers manage soil under the influence of climate change.
