Dynamics of Temperature Variation in Soil under Fallow Tillage at Different Depths

Changes in soil microbial community structure with tillage under long-term wheat-fallow management

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were used to `®ngerprint' soil microbial communities that evolved during 25 years of wheat-fallow cropping following native mixed prairie sod at Sidney, Nebraska, USA. Total ester-linked FAMEs (EL-FAMEs) and phospholipid-linked FAMEs (PL-FAMEs) were compared for their ability to discriminate between plots remaining in sod and those cropped to wheat or left fallo...

Pattern Changes Analysis Of Soil Temperature In Different Depths Under The Influence Of Humidity And Air Temperature (Case Study: Taleghan Watershed)

In this study, to analyze the pattern of soil temperature changes in the depths of  5, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100 cm under the influence of temperature (minimum, average and maximum) and humidity (minimum, average and maximum) the Pearson and regression methods were used for Taleghaan synoptic station during the period of 2008 to 2016 . The results showed that soil temperature had the highest corre...

Effects of No-tillage Fallow as Compared to Conventional Tillage in a Wheat-fallow System

Measurements of Soil Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Two Maize Agroecosystems at Harvest under Different Tillage Conditions

In this study a comparison of the soil CO2 fluxes emitted from two maize (Zea mays L.) fields with the same soil type was performed. Each field was treated with a different tillage technique: conventional tillage (30 cm depth ploughing) and no-tillage. Measurements were performed in the Po Valley (Italy) from September to October 2012, covering both pre- and postharvesting conditions, by means ...

Potential Assessment of ANNs and Adaptative Neuro Fuzzy Inference systems (ANFIS) for Simulating Soil Temperature at diffrent Soil Profile Depths

Objective: Soil temperature serves as a key variable in hydrological investigations to determine soil moisture content as well as hydrological balance in watersheds. The ingoing research aims to shed lights on potential of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and Neuro-Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to simulate soil temperature at 5-100 cm depths. To satisfy this end, climatic and...
