It is called anerobic decomposition.

KAPASITAS AERASI TANAH Kapasitas aerasi/porositas aerasi/porositas non kapiler : yaitu kapasitas udara pada saat lengas tanah mencapai kapasitas lapang (persen total pori non kapiler/makro) Kapasitas aerasi = n – (KL KAP. LAP. X BV) Soil porosity (f) is the ratio of pore volume (Vf) to total soil volume (Vt) f = Vf / Vt It is generally between 30-60%. Porosity tells us nothing about the relative amounts of large and small pores, and should be interpreted with caution. Generally, high porosity (e.g. 60%) is an indicator of lack of compaction and good soil conditions. http://www.landfood.ubc.ca/soil200/components/air.htm…. Diunduh 7/2/2012
FAKTOR KOMPOSISI UDARA TANAH Faktor‐faktor yang mempengaruhi komposisi udara tanah : Iklim Sifat tanah seperti tekstur, struktur, tinggi permukaan air tanah Sifat tanaman Keterdapatan tanaman mengurangi kadar O2 dan menambah CO2, bo dan kegiatan jasad renik CO2 > (jika aerob), CH4 > (jika anaerob). The composition of soil air is different from that of the atmosphere because it cannot readily mix with air above the soil. The metabolic activity of plant roots, microbes and soil fauna all affect the composition of soil air. For example, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in soil (between 0.3 and 3%) is often several hundred times higher than the 0.03% found in the atmosphere. In extreme cases oxygen can be as low as 5-10%, compared to 20% in the atmosphere. Soil air has a higher moisture content than the atmosphere, with relative humidity approaching 100% under optimum conditions. (humidity is not as variable in soil as it is in the atmosphere). The amount and composition of air in soil are dynamic and to a large degree are determined by water content and activity of soil organisms. http://www.landfood.ubc.ca/soil200/components/air.htm….

PERTUKARAN UDARA Komposisi tersebut selalu berubah‐ubah tergantung beberapa faktor yaitu : Kecepatan pertukaran udara tanah dan atmosfer, tergantung : o Tanah : tekstur, struktur, B.O, KL, suhu o Iklim : angin, tekanan udara, & suhu o Kedalaman dari muka tanah The exchange of gases between the atmosphere and soil is facilitated by two mechanisms: (1) Mass flow (convection) of air - the moving force is a gradient of total gas pressure, and it results in the entire mass of air streaming from a zone of higher pressure to one of lower pressure. Mass flow of air is much less important than diffusion, except perhaps in layers at or very near the soil surface. (2) Diffusion - moving force is gradient of partial pressure of any constituent member of air to migrate from a zone of higher to lower pressure, even while air as a whole may remain stationary. In other words, through diffusion each gas moves in a direction determined by its own partial pressure. http://www.landfood.ubc.ca/soil200/components/air.htm…. Diunduh 7/2/2012
Pertukaran Udara Tanah/Pembaruan Komposisi Udara Tanah Pertukaran udara tanah & udara atmosfer dapat terjadi karena adanya gerakan udara. Ada 3 faktor yg mempengaruhi pembaruan udara dalam tanah; yaitu : Proses difusi Aliran masa gas Air hujan The oxygen flux density due to diffusion is proportional to the oxygen concentration gradient along the axis, and the proportionality factor is called the (oxygen) diffusion coefficient (D). This statement is an example of Fick’s Law of Diffusion, which can be expressed as follows: J = - D dC/dX where J is the diffusive flux density of the gas (oxygen in this example) (mg/m2/s) along the x-axis, C is oxygen concentration in the soil air (units are g/m3), x is distance along x-axis (m), dC/dx is the oxygen concentration gradient (g/m4), and D is the (oxygen) diffusion coefficient (m2/s). http://www.landfood.ubc.ca/soil200/components/air.htm….

DIFUSI GAS Gerak acak molekul‐molekul gas, yg terjadi karena perbedaan tekanan parsiil masa-masa gas, namun tekanan total sama Untuk terjadinya proses difusi ini, di dlm tanah harus tersedia cukup ruang/pori‐pori efektif The oxygen diffusion coefficient (D) for diffusion in air is about 10,000 times as large as the coefficient for diffusion in water. Thus the oxygen diffusion coefficient (D) of a soil is very strongly influenced by three factors: (1) air-filled porosity (Va/Vt), which decreases with increasing soil water content (2) the continuity of air-filled pores, which decreases with increasing soil water content (3) the tortuosity of air-filled pores, which increases with increasing soil water content. http://www.landfood.ubc.ca/soil200/components/air.htm….

‘Goose’ Your Lawn for Good Soil Health By Shayne Hale June 2, 2011 Aeration is essential and fairly simple to do. Most rental centers have a lawn aerator that they will rent out by the day or perhaps by the hour. This machine is simply a large drum with spikes or tubes around the drum. Usually gas powered, this machine removes “plugs” of soil, thereby allowing the soil to breathe, and decreases soil compaction, which increases microbial action in the soil. Also, lawn aerating promotes deeper root growth and, in time, a healthier lawn with fewer weeds. A healthy, robust lawn should choke out intruders. Sumber: http://anewscafe.com/2011/06/02/goose-your-lawn-for-good-soil-health/
Lawn Aeration for a Greener, Thicker, Healthier Lawn! More Benefits of Lawn Aeration Aeration loosens compacted soil and breaks up thatch. It allows water and other nutrients to seep into the soil, encouraging new root growth and establishing a stronger, deeper root base for a lusher, healthier turf. Another benefit of aeration is the reduction of water runoff and puddling. Lawn Aeration permits the root system to go deeper where the ground temperature is cooler and moister, allowing the grass to stay greener longer in the heat of the summer. Remember, 90% of grass is in the roots! A healthy root system is a must for an attractive lawn. Oxygen in the soil is vital for healthy roots. Root growth is inhibited by clay and compacted soils because of a restricted oxygen supply. Aerating improves rooting and problem soils by allowing air into the soil.

UDARA TANAH Air can fill soil pores as water drains or is removed from a soil pore by evaporation or root absorption. The network of pores within the soil aerates, or ventilates, the soil. This aeration network becomes blocked when water enters soil pores. Not only are both soil air and soil water very dynamic parts of soil, but both are often inversely related: An increase in soil water content often causes a reduction in soil aeration. Likewise, reducing soil water content may mean an increase in soil aeration. Since plant roots require water and oxygen (from the air in pore spaces), maintaining the balance between root and aeration and soil water availability is a critical aspect of managing crop plants.
