Analysis of Soil Structure Turnover with Garnet Particles and X-Ray Microtomography
Fig 4
(a) Spatial distribution of big garnet grains and small garnet particles at a bulk density of 1.1 (green) and 1.3 g/cm3 (red). (b) Elastic image registration leads to a very good spatial alignment between the deformed and the original image. (c) The resulting displacement field shows a gradient in vertical displacement. (d) Compaction to 1.5 g/cm3 increases this gradient even further.
