The laboratories of Ecosistemi have carried out an extensive investigation on different types of matrices, with specific characteristics, for the study of pedogenesis processes induced by innovative transformation treatments

Observations were conducted by examining structural and surface properties using microscope observations in the range of 100 to 750 magnifications: morphological findings will be used to compare the chemical and physical properties of interest.

The study carried out the measurements of the diameters, the length, the integrity of the fibers, the consistency of the amorphous aggregates deriving different degrees of collapse, wear and tear of the matrices also in correlation with the rheological and chemical characteristics.
The research set up a method of diagnosis that took inspiration from the Von Post scale while maintaining the overall definitions of fibricity, sapicity and hemicity.
