an appropriate method to determine the hydraulic conductivity above water table is guelph permeameter. using this method, experiments can be carried out by one person in a short period. several investigators have commented on the systematic difference between the hydraulic conductivity obtained by guelph permeameter and shallow well pumping test (swpt) methods. therefore, the purpose of this re...

Flood-damaged homes typically have elevated microbial loads, and their occupants have an increased incidence of allergies, asthma, and other respiratory ailments, yet the microbial communities in these homes remain under-studied. Using culture-independent approaches, we characterized bacterial and fungal communities in homes in Boulder, CO, USA 2-3 months after the historic September, 2013 floo...

Sediments from two recently (40 years) flooded lakes (Gabbro lake and Sandgirt lake) and an unflooded lake (Atikonak lake) were sampled to investigate the effects of reservoir impoundment on mercury (Hg) and terrigenous organic matter (TOM) loading in the Churchill Falls Hydroelectric complex in Labrador, Canada. Lignin biomarkers in TOM, which exclusively derive from terrestrial vegetation, we...

in order to investigated the effect of flooding, different nutrition levels an anti-oxidant characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence, amount of chlorophyll (a, b) and carotenoids leaves soybean (glycine max (l.) merr), cultivar dpx research at the university of agricultural sciences and natural resources, gorgan, in a completely randomized design to factorial arrangement with three replication...

A lengthy cavity usually forms in the vascular cylinders of pea (Pisum sativum) primary roots in response to sudden flooding at 25°C. This is thought to be a form of aerenchyma. Ethylene has been shown to mediate inducible aerenchyma in maize, therefore the role of ethylene in the formation of cavities in pea roots was examined. Pea seedlings grown for 4 d in 2 L beakers in vermiculite moistene...

Simple nitrogen (N) input/output balance calculations in agricultural systems are used to evaluate performance of nutrient management; however, they generally rely on extensive assumptions that do not consider leaching, denitrification, or annual depletion of soil N. We constructed a relatively complete N mass balance for the Big Ditch watershed, an extensively tile-drained agricultural watersh...
