abstract

the location of extracellular enzyme activities in soil aggregates can be influenced by slope position. this study aims to determine the effect of slope position on aggregate distribution of organic c and l-glutaminase activity. the soils were collected from different slope positions (shoulder, backslope, footslope and toeslope) at two pasture ecosystems (fereydoonshahr and chelgerd, central iran). a wet sieving procedure was used to separate soil aggregates and then mean weight diameter (mwd) was calculated. soil organic c (soc) and l-glutaminase activity (lgl) were measured in the separated aggregates. results indicated that slope position influenced aggregates distribution and stability through its effect on soil physico-chemical properties. the lgl activity significantly influenced by slope position which was consistent with the pattern of soc content (fereydoonsahr: r=0.7, p

Aggregate Stability and Water Retention near Saturation Characteristics as Affected by Soil Texture, Aggregate Size and Polyacrylamide Application

Understanding the effects of soil intrinsic properties and extrinsic conditions on aggregate stability is essential for the development of effective soil and water conservation practices. Our objective was to evaluate the combined role of soil texture, aggregate size and application of a stabilizing agent on aggregate and structure stability indices (composite structure index [SI], the α and n ...

Tea yield and soil properties as affected by slope position and aspect in Lahijan area, Iran

Soil genesis, physico-chemical properties and tea yield were investigated along different hillslope positions in the major tea cultivation area of Iran, i.e. Lahijan, Gilan Province. Land suitability was also determined for the tea production in this hilly region. Four different slope positions i.e., summit, shoulder, backslope and toeslope were sampled on three slope aspects following the prof...
