Agroforestry Influences on Soil Aggregate Stability and Enzyme Activity

Comparing the Effects of Vetiver and Polyacrylamide on Soil Structural Stability and Erosion Indices

Extended abstract 1- INTRODUCTION Soil erosion is one of the most important problems of the environment, natural resources, and agriculture in the world. Soil structure stability is the key element of soil health, the main factor in the improvement or degradation of soils, and the important point in evaluating the effects of land management and the operations practices to control soil ero...

ارزیابی پایداری ساختمان خاک به‌روش الک تر در برخی از مکان‌های مرتعی استان اصفهان

Soil aggregate stability is considered as a key indicator of soil quality and health assessments in rangelands. Many factors and properties such as soil texture, organic carbon, calcium carbonate, sodium adsorption ratio, and electrical conductivity might affect soil aggregate stability. The effects of these factors on aggregate stability of 71 soil samples collected from 4 rangeland sites (2 i...

Effect of Agronomic Practices on the Aggregate Stability and Organic Carbon of soil (Case study: the Northern of Aq Qala)

Effects of Straw Incorporation on Soil Nutrients, Enzymes, and Aggregate Stability in Tobacco Fields of China

To determine the effects of straw incorporation on soil nutrients, enzyme activity, and aggregates in tobacco fields, we conducted experiments with different amounts of wheat and maize straw in Zhucheng area of southeast Shandong province for three years (2010–2012). In the final year of experiment (2012), straw incorporation increased soil organic carbon (SOC) and related parameters, and impro...

Determination of Agricultural Sulfur Effects on the Soil Structure Using Fractal Geometery and Aggregate Stability Indices

Due to unsuitable soil physical conditions, calcareous soils, and the existence of a huge amount of sulfur in the country, the study of sulfur effects on the soil structure and other soil properties is necessary. Therefore, the effects of different rates of sulfur including: 0, 750, 1500 and 3000 kg/ha, when accompanied by Halothiobacillus neapolitanus bacteria, on the soil properties in the co...
