The Effects of Superabsorbent Polymers on Soils and Plants
Current climate change is projected to have significant effects on temperature and precipitation profiles, increasing the incidence and severity of drought. Drought is the single largest abiotic stress factor leading to reduced crop yields. Given the large share of water use in the agriculture sector and very low efficiency in this sector, selection and development of the new strategies to impr...
متن کاملSuperabsorbent Polymers and Superabsorbent Polymer Composites
This article briefly describes the general aspects and cross-linking polymerization of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) and superabsorbent polymer composites (SAPCs). Research and development of SAPs has become very active after the Northern Region Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture invented the first SAP, used as a soil conditioner. Based on the advancements in organic/ino...
متن کاملEvaluation of Alternative Livelihoods Status in Arid and Semiarid Regions of Iran to Improve Sustainability
Abstract. From the perspectives of many environmental and conservative policy makers, improving and diversifying the livelihoods have been found as a mechanism to promote the livelihoods and persuade people to avoid the overexploitation and degradation of natural resources. Due to the fragility of the environment and inconsistency of incomes, the alternative income sources may be promised to wa...
متن کاملCrack Mitigation in Concrete: Superabsorbent Polymers as Key to Success?
Cracking is a major concern in building applications. Cracks may arise from shrinkage, freeze/thawing and/or structural stresses, amongst others. Several solutions can be found but superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) seem to be interesting to counteract these problems. At an early age, the absorbed water by the SAPs may be used to mitigate autogenous and plastic shrinkage. The formed macro pores may...
متن کاملevaluation of structural biodiversity in natural systems of arid and semi-arid regions: plants and arthropods
plants and arthropods are the main elements of biodiversity in ecosystems. in order to evaluate structural biodiversity of plants and arthropods in natural systems of arid land, a study was carried out in shirvan, mashhad and gonabad, three regions of razavi and northern khorasan provinces, iran. in each region, 10 areas of natural systems selected and sampling was done in these selected areas....
