Abstract Geodiversity and biodiversity have been assessed in an area of the province Jaén (Southern Spain), first one from consideration partial indices based on lithology, geomorphology, pedology, hydrology, palaeontology, mineralogy geosites; is also regarded previous data, considering a index endangered species index. This shows contact between Guadalquivir Basin Betic External Zones. In add...

This article presents an overview of the application soil bioengineering techniques, also modeled as natural engineering, in state Sergipe, northeastern Brazil, showing importance integrating living and inert elements to protect river banks from erosion. The employed techniques are different, ranging characterization susceptibility erosion use biotechniques, considering knowledge areas agronomi...

Rangelands are important for plant productivity, livestock production, wildlife,conservation of soil and water resources, and etc. One of the main problem of rangeland isthat has not been used based on its potential that leads to more degradation of rangelands.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the range management capability of Badrehregion in Ilam province, Iran, using ANP (Analytic Ne...

Manganese (Mn) contamination of drinking water may cause aesthetic and human health problems when concentrations exceed 50 and 500 μg l, respectively. In the UK, the majority of Mn-related drinking water supply failures originate from unpolluted upland catchments. The source of Mn is therefore soil, but the exact mechanisms by which it is mobilised into surface waters remain unknown. Elevated M...

for this. First of all, it is difficult to obtain images at the optimal time for delineating bare soil patterns, and there A soil map is one of the key data layers for developing a robust is always some degree of mixture effects with vegetation global model and evaluating land quality and use. A current soil map produced by conventional soil survey is the major source of soil and dry plant comp...

Abstract Colluvial sediments originating from soil erosion on slopes have proven to constitute significant evidence for tracing past human impact mountain landscapes. In the Central European Erzgebirge (Ore) Mountains, colluvial are associated with specific landforms (footslopes, slope flattenings, dells) and cover a share of 11% (11,905 ha) regional landscape. Thirteen pedosedimentary sections...

Hyperspectral remote sensing (HRS) and imaging spectroscopy (IS) are the same technologies that provide detailed spectral information for individual pixels of an image. While HRS refers mostly to remote sensing (from a distance), the emerging IS technology covers wide spatial–spectral domains, frommicroscopic to macroscopic HRS/IS. IS is an innovative development of the charge-coupled device (C...

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen responsible for the potentially fatal disease listeriosis and terrestrial ecosystems have been hypothesized to be its natural reservoir. Therefore, identifying the key edaphic factors that influence its survival in soil is critical. We measured the survival of L. monocytogenes in a set of 100 soil samples belonging to the French Soil Quality Monit...

The north of Ilam Province in Iran has a great variety geodiversity features, and the presence resources, along with other geological geomorphological values, enriched area. purpose present study is to evaluate Province. main indices for assessing include geology, geomorphology, geomorphosites, paleontology, pedology, hydrology, mineral fossil species. In addition geodiversity, hazard maps area...
