Different Soil Particle-Size Classification Systems for Calculating Volume Fractal Dimension—A Case Study of Pinus sylvestris var. Mongolica in Mu Us Sandy Land, China

Characterizing changes in the soil particle-size distributions (PSD) are a major issue in environmental research because it has a great impact on soil properties, soil management, and desertification. To date, the use of soil volume fractal dimension (D) is a feasible approach to describe PSD, and i...
