Hydro-physical responses of gypseous and non-gypseous soils to livestock grazing in a semi-arid region of NE Spain

morphology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and micromorphology of soils of hormozgan province in relation to parent materials

ویژگی های زمین شیمیایی، کانی شناسی، و میکرومورفولوژیکی خاک ها و سنگ مادر مربوطه در منطقه بین بخش های جنوبی زاگرس و خلیج فارس تا دریای عمان(استان هرمزگان، ایران) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. هدف های این مطالعه شناسایی تغییرات در خصوصیات فیزیکی، شیمیایی، و ترکیب کانی شناسی خاک، مطالعه میکرومورفولوژی و تکامل خاک، و بررسی توزیع عنصر خاک بر اساس هوازدگی، پروسه های خاک و زمین شناسی جهت توصیف اثرات مواد مادر...

Catchment-scale spatial variability analysis of soil hydro-physical properties in a semi-arid region of Iran

Soil hydrau-physical data are important for many hydrological modelings. They are the main variables controllingthe key processes such as water and chemicals movement and transport in the soil profiles. This study was conductedin order to analyze the spatial distribution of selected soil hydrau-physcial characteristics including infiltration rate(IR), saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), bulk...

Variation in absorption and excretion of calcium in grazing sheep in a semi-arid grazing ranch, Punjab, Pakistan

The calcium status of lactating, non-lactating, and male sheep on farm in southwestern Punjab, Pakistan was studied. Pasture and animal were sampled at the end of the first month of summer and winter. All samplings were carried out fortnightly. A mineral supplement was available to all animals throughout the year. Plasma calcium in all animals was not affected by the physiologic state and gende...
