We tested the accuracy of an atmospheric correction method that depends on clear water bodies to infer solar and atmospheric parameters for radiative transfer equations by measuring the reflectance signature of four prominent south Texas rangeland plants with the Earth Resource Technology (LANDSAT) satellite multispectral scanner (MSS) and a ground-based Exotech Model 20 spectroradiometer. The ...

the aim of this study was to assess the effects of heavy metal tolerant soil microbes inoculation on growth and metal uptake of pearl millet (pennisetum glaucum), couch grass (triticum repens) and alfalfa (medicago sativa) in a soil spiked (and subsequently aged) with increasing concentrations of pb. a soil sample (soil 1) was spiked with increasing (0 to 1500 mg/kg) concentrations of pb and in...
