we estimated the rainfall interception loss (i), canopy storage capacity (s), the ratio of mean evaporation rate from the wet canopy () over the mean rainfall intensity () (mm h-1) (), and free throughfall coefficient (p) in a fraxinus rotundifolia mill. stand located in an afforested park land in a semiarid region of iran. for each storm event, i was calculated as the gross rainfall (gr) minus...

there is a need to analyze and map rainfall erosivity to assess soil erosion at the regional scale. the objectives of this study were to develop a regional model to estimate seasonal erosivity from seasonal rainfall data and to study temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall erosivity for the gorganrood drainage basin in the northeast of iran. six gauging stations with a high temporal resol...

abstract spatial variability of soils makes difficult analysis of soil water flow phenomena especially in a large area such as a watershed. using scaling methods is a solution in variability problems. the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the non-linear variability on performance of the scaling methods of richards’ equation for modeling infiltration in a watershed. the me...

abstract accumulation of heavy metals in soils has become a serious environmental problem in many parts of the world. no information is currently available on the distribution pattern of heavy metals concentration in soils of hamadan province. the objective of this research was to determine the spatial distribution of pb and zn and its relationship with land use and parent materials of a select...

El olivo (Olea europaea L.) presenta un complejo panorama varietal aún no caracterizado e identificado totalmente. En este trabajo se estudió material con incertidumbre identitaria: analizaron seis loci microsatélites de 13 accesiones relacionadas al cultivar Manzanilla la colección del INTA Catamarca y dos genotipos huertos comerciales departamento Cruz Eje, Córdoba. Para confirmar identidad c...

abstract soil invertebrate and their spatial pattern are affected strongly by environmental factors. spatial variability of soil properties is one of the most important reasons of the macrofauna variability. this study was conducted to investigate the spatial variability of soil properties and soil macrofauna biomass in the riparian forest landscape of karkhe river. soil macro fauna were sample...

immunosuppressants require therapeutic drug monitoring because of their narrow therapeutic index and significant inter-individual variability in blood concentrations. this variability can be because of factors like drug-nutrient interactions, drug-disease interactions, renal-insufficiency, inflammation and infection, gender, age, polymorphism and liver mass. drug monitoring is widely practiced ...

The experiment was conducted using Randomized Complete Block Design with Row Column arrangement and three replications. Grain yield, phenological and other traits were recorded. The Residual Maximum Likelihood (REML) combined analysis of variance across locations showed very highly significant (P

iron is an essential nutrients in rice. accurate assessment of this element in paddy soils is very important. improving fertility management, accurate interpolation, being aware of spatial variability and patterns of distribution of micronutrients are the most important factors in soil management and accurate consumption of fertilizers. this study was done for investigating of available iron, d...

background: standardization of the semen analysis may improve reproducibility. we assessed variability between laboratories in semen analyses and evaluated whether a transformation using z scores and regression statistics was able to reduce this variability. materials and methods: we performed a retrospective cohort study. we calculated between-laboratory coefficients of variation (cvb) for spe...
