Biochar and zeolite, due to their porous structure, are supposed be appropriate soil amendments especially in agricultural areas with a lack of water or unsuitable soils coarse texture. Two additions that intended assist an increase content (AWC) biochar zeolite. With this aim, the effects zeolite at two levels 5 10 t ha?1 (known as B5, B10, Z5, Z10) on hydrological properties consequently corn...

Abstract Crop cultivation provides ecosystem services on increasingly large fields. However, the effects of in-field spatial heterogeneity crop yields, in particular triticale, have rarely been considered. The study assess soil and elevation triticale grown an intensively cropped hummocky landscape. field was classified into three classes: C1, C2, C3, based texture available water capacity (AWC...

Editor's Note: These short, critical reviews of recent papers in the Journal, written exclusively by graduate students or postdoctoral fellows, are intended to summarize the important findings of the paper and provide additional insight and commentary. For more information on the format and purpose of the Journal Club, please see Review of Beverly et al. Many biological systems show degener-acy...

Dynamic reordering of variables is known to be very important for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Many attempts were made to apply this principle for improving distributed constraint solvers [1, 17, 20, 10, 11, 31, 19]. Armstrong et.al in [1] report for good heuristics an improvement of approximately 30% over random ordering. Asynchronous Backtracking with Reordering (ABTR aka ...

This study explores the influence of temperature on the growth of six northern range margin (NRM) tree species in the Hudson River Valley (HRV). The HRV has excellent geographic and floristic qualities to study the influence of climate change on forested ecosystems. Indices of radial growth for three populations per species are developed and correlated against average minimum and maximum monthl...

Atlantic White Cedar (AWC) swamps are a globally threatened type of wetland ecosystem and new form ghost forest in the mid-Atlantic region US. Hydrogeomorphic regimes foster peat formation, resulting unique biodiversity carbon sequestration services. Our sites include that exposed to sea-level rise storm-driven seawater intrusion, yet other protected by higher elevations. In this study, we eval...

This paper shows the changes in soil properties fourth year after application of two kinds environmentally burdensome wastes. One wastes was mineral—carboniferous rock from a coal mine, and other one organic—post-fermentation sludge an agricultural biogas plant. The were applied once to poor quality—a Podzol. hypothesis be verified that one-time waste carboniferous and/or post-fermentation has ...

River runoff plays an important role in watershed ecosystems and human survival, it is controlled by multiple environmental factors. However, the synergistic effects of various large-scale circulation factors meteorological on different time-frequency scales have rarely been explored. In light this, underlying mechanism variations was investigated Yellow Basin China during period 1950–2019 usin...

Low nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) is a serious issue for cotton production and environmental sustainability in arid climates. A pot study was conducted to evaluate the effect of K nutrition on NUE performance low- high-K-efficiency cultivars under two moisture regimes. Treatments included soil levels—i.e., normal irrigation, 100% available water content (AWC); reduced 50% AWC—three levels nitro...

In digital topology, it is well-known that, in 2D and in 3D, a digital set X ⊆ Z is digitally well-composed (DWC), i.e., does not contain any critical configuration, if its immersion in the Khalimsky grids H is well-composed in the sense of Alexandrov (AWC), i.e., its boundary is a disjoint union of discrete (n− 1)-surfaces. We show that this is still true in n-D, n ≥ 2, which is of prime impor...
