Enzyme activities in agricultural soils fumigated with methyl bromide alternatives
Pre-plant fumigation of agricultural soils with a combination of methyl bromide (MeBr) and chloropicrin (CP) to control nematodes, soilborne pathogens and weeds has been a common practice in strawberry (Fragaria X ananassa Duchesne) production since the 1960s. MeBr will be phased out by 2005, but little is known about the impacts of alternative fumigants on soil microbial processes. We investig...
متن کاملDo freeze-thaw events enhance C andN losses from soils of different ecosystems? A review
Freezing and thawing of soils may affect the turnover of soil organic matter and thus the losses of C and N from soils. Here we review the literature with special focus on: (i) the mechanisms involved, (ii) the effects of freezing temperature and frequency, (iii) the differences between arable soils and soils under natural vegetation, and (iv) the hypothesis that freeze-thaw events lead to sign...
متن کاملInverse method for estimating respiration rates from decay time series
Long-term organic matter decomposition experiments typically measure the mass lost from decaying organic matter as a function of time. These experiments can provide information about the dynamics of carbon dioxide input to the atmosphere and controls on natural respiration processes. Decay slows down with time, suggesting that organic matter is composed of components (pools) with varied labilit...
متن کاملEstimating Dietary Risk from Soils in Urban Gardens
Soil contamination is a public health concern in many countries but methods to assess dietary risk from soil metal toxicity have not been standardized worldwide. Laboratory data on urban soils are limited and do not adequately link metal content to associated food plant uptake. Cadmium is a health risk because it accumulates in lettuce and may be consumed at high levels by childbearing women. T...
متن کاملApproaches for Estimating Liquefaction Potential of Soils
In this paper, assessment of liquefaction of soils by various approaches have been reviewed and presented in chronological order. The study focuses on procedural requirements and assessment for conventional and computational methods. Simplified method given by Seed, Tokimatsu-Yoshimi (T-Y) and Idriss & Boulanger methods of liquefaction assessmenthave been analyzed. Computational methods like ar...
