Water Relations: Soil Fertility, and Plant Nutrient Composition of a Pygmy Oak Ecosystem

Assessment of protected vs. degraded oak forests: A geostatistical approach based on soil and plant diversity

Assessment of forest soil and vegetation characteristics provides basic and essential information for the protection and rehabilitation measures in forest ecosystems. Therefore, regard to the importance of this issue, the distribution of different soil properties and vegetation diversity in relation to conservation management and degradation investigated in the oak forests of Ilam province usin...

Soil and ground water salintty and their relations to physiography

Relationships between Nutrient-Related Plant Traits and Combinations of Soil N and P Fertility Measures

Soil fertility and nutrient-related plant functional traits are in general only moderately related, hindering the progress in trait-based prediction models of vegetation patterns. Although the relationships may have been obscured by suboptimal choices in how soil fertility is expressed, there has never been a systematic investigation into the suitability of fertility measures. This study, there...

Machine Learning for Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrient Management using Back Propagation Neural Networks

The objective of this paper is to analysis of main soil properties such as organic matter, essential plant nutrients, micronutrient that affects the growth of crops and find out the suitable relationship percentage among those properties using Supervised Learning, Back Propagation Neural Network. Although these parameters can be measured directly, their measurement is difficult and expensive. B...

Association of water spectral indices with plant and soil water relations in contrasting wheat genotypes

Spectral reflectance indices can be used to estimate the water status of plants in a rapid, non-destructive manner. Water spectral indices were measured on wheat under a range of water-deficit conditions in field-based yield trials to establish their relationship with water relations parameters as well as available volumetric soil water (AVSW) to indicate soil water extraction patterns. Three t...
