VARIATION IN SOil WATER AND SOil AIR CONTENTS ASSOCIATED WITH A VEGETATION - SOil SEQUENCE IN
نویسنده
چکیده
SU.M~IARY: This paper describes part of a study of vegetation/soil system dynamics in which d~e re]ationships were demonstrated bctween structuraJ chang<' of the forest, with"associated changes in composition, and changes in otganic matter and soil physical properties, particularly the quantities cf water and air in non-capillarypores. Becausc of these rcsults an a.nalysis,\','as made of the quantities of water and air in the'same soils under field conditions to test their correspondence with the vegetation pattern and known physical properties.

Synergistic effect of vegetation and air temperature changes on soil water content in alpine frost meadow soil in the permafrost region of Qinghai-Tibet
Seasonal changes over 2 years (2004–2006) in soil moisture content ( v) of frozen alpine frost meadow soils of the QinghaiTibet plateau permafrost region under three different levels of vegetation cover were investigated. Vegetation cover and air temperature changes had significant effects (synergistic effect) on v and its distribution in the soil profile. During periods of soil freezing or tha...
متن کاملModeling the Fate of Toluene in a Chamber with Alfalfa Plants 1. Theory and Modeling Concepts
A model was developed to investigate the fate of organic contaminants in soils in the presence of vegetation. The model has two modules. The first module simulates the soil-water and root-water pressure heads under the influence of water extraction by the roots of growing vegetation. Evapotranspiration due to alfalfa plants is an outflux boundary condition at the soil surface for this model. Th...

Introduction The geotechnical engineering problems involving unsaturated soils are included water flow, shear strength and volume change. Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) describes the constitutive relationship between soil suction and soil water content. SWCC may be determined directly or indirectly in the laboratory. Because of the various difficulties involved in the direct measuremen...
متن کاملDrafting the Design and Development of Micro- Controller Based Portable Soil Moisture Sensor for Advancement in Agro Engineering
Moisture is an important consideration in many aspects ranging from irrigation, soil chemistry, golf course, corrosion and erosion, road conditions, weather predictions, livestock feed moisture levels, water seepage etc. Vegetation and crops always depend more on the moisture available at the root level than on precipitation occurrence. In this paper, design of an instrument is discussed which ...
متن کاملStudy of soil-vegetation interrelationships in galbanum (Ferula gummosa) habitats (Case study: Rangeland of Ataeeye and Shoorrud- Khorasan-e- Razavi Province)
Determination of vegetation and soil interaction is necessary for sustainable use of rangeland ecosystem. Soil-vegetation interrelationships in galbanum (Ferula gummosa) habitats of Ataeeye and Shoorrud- Khorasan-e- Razavi Province, Iran were studied using multivariate analysis. The stratified- random system of sampling was employed to randomly collect vegetation and soil samples from 46 quadra...
