Due to rapid urbanization, urban lands have been expanded into existing agricultural areas. With such spatial changes, in the expanding cities or peri-urban areas are easily exposed contaminants generated by anthropogenic activities as traffic. Therefore, this study aimed investigate heavy metal concentrations major roadside soils distance medium-sized cities, Jinju and Changwon, identify influ...

Two major types of cottonseed are available in the southwest US, Upland and Pima. Upland is a high-lint type of cottonseed that is generally fed whole, while Pima is a delinted type of cottonseed that is often fed either cracked or ground to improve nutrient utilization. The nutrient composition of the two types of cottonseed differs, and Pima is often considered nutritionally superior because ...

INTRODUCTION This manuscript is a synthesis of major ideas presented at the Upland Oak Ecology Symposium held October 7–10, 2002, in Fayetteville, AR. More than 350 managers, scientists, landowners, and others gathered to discuss problems and opportunities common to upland oak (Quercus spp.) forests, focusing mainly on forests of the Interior Highlands. However, much of the information containe...

The Haw River, a high order river in the southeastern United States, is characterized by severe bank erosion and geomorphic change from historical conditions of clear waters and connected floodplains. In 2014 it was named one of the 10 most threatened rivers in the United States by American Rivers. Like many developed areas, the region has a history of disturbance including extensive upland soi...

• Nature-based recreation provide a substantial income to upland areas. Planting new woodlands would not negatively impact visitor numbers up until 75% woodland cover scenario. There is difference between landscape preference and the probability of return visits. Local stakeholders should be concerned about planting on nature-based recreational tourism. Upland landscapes important ecosystem ser...

[1] We used field measurements of methane (CH4) flux from upland and wetland soils in the Northern Study Area (NSA) of BOREAS (BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study), near Thompson, Manitoba, during the summers of 1994 and 1996 to estimate the overall CH4 emission from a 1350 km 2 landscape. June–September 1994 and 1996 were both drier and warmer than normal, but summer 1996 received 68 mm more pre...

A study was installed in an upland hardwood forest to evaluate the site impacts associated with three alternative prescriptions clearcut, deferment cut, and strip cut. Two methods of site impact assessment were employed: 1) assignment of disturbance classes to selected points within each treatment area and 2) measurement of soil bulk density, gravimetric water content, and soil strength at poin...
