abstract introduction: due to environmental and human health concerns related to humic acid (ha), mainly leading to disinfection by-products creation, removal or reduction of this matters is a necessary for drinking water suppliers. based on resistive economy map road and move to self-sufficiency, it is necessary to produce our need in water treatment industry. one of the main consumed material...

awareness of the effects of fire on various aspects of an ecosystem after the fire,is important for range management. changes in soil physical and chemical propertiescaused by fire can be the cause of changes in the vegetation. in this study, effects of fire onphysical and chemical characteristics of soil were investigated. this research was carriedout in a randomized block design method in the...

plants have noticeable effects on soil resources distribution and its biochemical processes, and organic materials are naturally much more in the understory soil as compared to open areas. vegetation as one of the soil formation factors is not always an independent variable, so that the soil and vegetation can have interaction. the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of hedys...

the investigated section cropping out in kuh-e-banesh, zagros basin (southern iran) is represented by limestone, cherty beds and marllevels bearing abundant planktonic foraminifers, radiolarian microfaunas, and ammonite imprints. for the first time, well to moderatelypreserved forms of planktonic foraminifera have been extracted from black shale and marls levels. extracted biota was studied wit...

understanding the relationship between soil and plant is essential for reclamation of degraded lands. in order to investigate the relationship between atriplex halimus density with carbon sequestration the rangeland of incheborun was studied. soil samples were collected randomly by auger in the depth of 0-30 cm of the soil profile in three different plant densities (400 stand per hectare) with ...

Sustainability of the rice–wheat rotation is important to Asia’s food security. Intensive cropping with no return of crop residues and other organic materials results in loss of soil organic matter and is not sustainable. We evaluated effect of eight treatments comprised of various combinations of green manure (GM), wheat straw (WS), rice straw (RS), farmyard manure (FYM) and urea alone (contro...

The role of microorganisms in the cycling of sedimentary organic carbon is a crucial one. To better understand relationships between molecular composition of a potentially bioavailable fraction of organic matter and microbial populations, bacterial and archaeal communities were characterized using pyrosequencing-based 16S rRNA gene analysis in surface (top 30 cm) and subsurface/deeper sediments...

During phytoplankton growth a fraction of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) assimilated by phytoplankton is exuded in the form of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), which can be transformed into extracellular particulate organic carbon (POC). A major fraction of extracellular POC is associated with carbon of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP; carbon content = TEPC) that form from dissolved poly...
