چکیده
soil characteristics is very important in water erosion processes. the present investigation was conducted in gully lands of ardebil province, iran, to assess the role of soil texture and structure on aggregate stability using wet sieve method. to achieve the study purposes, mean weighted diameter of aggregates was calculated, and its relationships with lime and clay percentages, sodium absorption ratio and soil organic matter were then determined. the research results showed, in the first and second depth, the organic matter had the highest direct and positive effect on aggregate stability. in first depth, clay and lime had a direct and positive effect on aggregate stability. in both depths, sodium absorption ratio had the highest but negative effect on aggregate stability. organic matter and clay had the highest direct and positive effect on aggregate stability in the second depth. the highest indirect effect of the parameters on aggregate stability was in second depth due to effect of clay and organic matter on each other. in second depth, lime had the direct and positive effect on aggregate stability. sodium absorption ratio had a direct and negative effect on aggregate stability in both study depths.

Tillage impacts on aggregate stability and crop productivity in a clay-loam soil in central Iran
To take advantage of conservation tillage systems (including direct drilling and non-inversion) in central Iran, it is important to study the effects of different cultivation practices on soil structural stability as a physical indicator. A four-year study was conducted to investigate the effects of seven tillage systems on aggregate properties of a clay-loam soil (Calcic Cambisol) with continu...
متن کاملEffect of tillage treatments on soil thermal conductivity for some Jordanian clay loam and loam soils
Soil thermal conductivity determines how a soil warms or cools with exchange of energy by conduction, convection, and radiation. The ability to monitor soil thermal conductivity is an important tool in managing the soil temperature regime to affect seed germination and crop growth. In this study, the temperature-by-time data was obtained using a single probe device to determine the soil thermal...

There are few studies conducted on the short-term effects of land leveling on soil water holding capacity. The objectives of this study were to analyze the short-term effects of land leveling on the magnitudes, variances, spatial variability, and distributions of surface (0-20 cm) and subsurface (20-40 cm) soil properties of bulk density, field capacity, permanent wilting point, water holding c...

Soil compaction caused by machinery traffic in agriculture is a well recognised problem in many parts of the world as one of the most important factor responsible for soil physical degradation and has important consequences on crop production and environment (Soane and van Ouwerkerk, 1994; Keller and Arvidsson, 2004). It is estimated to be responsible for the degradation of an area of 68 millio...

The herbicide terbuthylazine is widely used within the EU; however its frequent detection in surface and groundwater, together with its intrinsic toxicological properties, may pose a risk both for human and environmental health. Organic amendments have recently been proposed as a possible herbicide sorbent in soil, in order to limit herbicide movement from soil to water. The environmental fate ...
