Simulation of oxygen regime of tree substrates (2005)
Balakina, J.N., Makarova, O.V., Bondarenko, V., Koudstaal, L.J., Ros, E.J., Koolen, A.J., ...
The oxygen regime of urban tree-growing sites may be sub-optimal for tree growth and the related ornamental value of trees. Problems may especially occur in situations where the substrate is covered...

Balakina, J.N., Makarova, O.V., Bondarenko, V., Koudstaal, L.J., Koolen, A.J.
The oxygen regime of urban tree-growing sites may be sub-optimal for tree growth and the related ornamental value of trees. Problems may especially occur in situations where the substrate is covered...
Keller, T., Arvidsson, J., Dawidowski, J.B., Koolen, A.J.
Precompression stress is often used as a criterion for soil susceptibility to compaction. The objective of this study was to compare precompression stresses derived from different compression test...
Poodt, M.P., Koolen, A.J., Linden, J.P.
Heavy sugarbeet harvesters may compact subsoil. But it is very difficult to study this by field experiments that resemble agricultural practice. Therefore, an analysis was made by a finite element...
Soil dynamics of the origination of soil tare during sugar beet lifting. (2002)
High soil tare of sugar beet on wet clay soil after uprooting with share lifters is usually attributed to the fact that the soil becomes sticky due to mechanical impact during uprooting. Results of...
Simulation of a soil loosening process by means of the modified distinct element method (2002)
Momuzu, M., Oida, A., Yamazaki, M., Koolen, A.J.
We apply the Distinct Element Method (DEM) to analyze the dynamic behavior of soil. However, the conventional DEM model for calculation of contact forces between elements has some problems; for...
Soil dynamics of the origination of soil tare during sugar beet lifting (2002)
High soil tare of sugar beet on wet clay soil after uprooting with share lifters is usually attributed to the fact that the soil becomes sticky due to mechanical impact during uprooting. Results of...
Baas, R., Wever, G., Koolen, A.J., Tariku, E., Stol, K.J.
A soil oxygen simulation model (OXSI) was tested and evaluated for evaluating growing media with respect to aeration. In the model, local oxygen concentrations are calculated from coefficients of...
Measured values of the mechanical properties of tree roots are found to be affected by a number of factors. Shear properties of tree roots are found to be partly influenced by size of the testing...
Research and development in urban forestry in The Netherlands (1999)

Prediction of aspects of soil-wheel systems. (1992)
Koolen, A.J., Lerink, P., Kurstjens, D.A.G., Arts, W.B.M.
A simple formula is given which predicts maximum stress-depth relationships under wheels from vertical wheel load and the tyre inflation pressure. Predictions were compared with stress measurements...
