objective: soil organic carbon has been the most important soil quality measurement factors and has intense relation with soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics. organic matter and its components are important factors of soil aggregates constitution and stability and play significant role in its structure. so, this research has been done for achieving this purpose. methods: this...

map by air photo-interpretation and field checks of one full profile and 10 to 30 augerings per 1000 ha; the mostly compound map units refer to the sub-types of the CYS , which is a six-level hierarchy influenced by earlier European systems; keys and class descriptions are mostly qua litative; a lso, 10 800 geo-referenced profile descriptions with standard laboratory data were recorded. All pol...

Data from runoff plots operated over a ®ve year period show that signi®cantly less overland ̄ow is generated with a seasonal no-till ridge system than with contour tillage or straight tillage systems. Seasonal no-till ridge is the optimum system for increasing the availability of water for rainfed agriculture on the dryland soils in the hilly area of Sichuan Province, China. # 2000 Published by...

tissue culture is one of the common methods for propagation of apple clones. however, low survival and poor growth of these plants, after transplanting, limit the widespread use of this technique. the success rate of this method can be increased by using bioagents such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf). in this study, effect of mycorrhizal symbiosis and culture media on growth and establish...

Soil is a nonrenewable source that needs considerable management to prevent physical deteriorationby erosion and compaction. Compacted soil causes low fertility and yield. The purpose of this study isto investigate the effect of viscoelastic properties of soil and to determine important factors oncompaction. Furthermore, stress distribution, prediction of soil compaction and simulation of its e...
