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...

Minerals control many soil functions and play a crucial role in addressing global existential issues. Measuring the abundance of minerals is laborious, costly, time-consuming task; however, spectroscopy can be useful tool to overcome this issue. This work aimed map major mineralogical components soils Brazil from surface 1 m deep at spatial resolution 30 m. Spectral data Brazilian Soil Library ...

Research on the coupling of soil, vegetation, and hydrological processes is not only a research hotspot in disciplines such as pedology, ecohydrology Earth system science but also important for achieving sustainable development. However, scientists from different usually study mechanism soil-vegetation-hydrological at very space time scales, mechanistic connections between scales are quite few....

Soil salinization and sodification are common processes that particularly characterize drylands. These can be attributed either to natural conditions or anthropogenic activities. While causes include factors such as climate, lithology, topography, pedology, human mostly related agricultural land-use, specifically, irrigated agriculture. The objective of this study was thoroughly review topic, w...

In Romania, under the aegis of knowledge society, we naturally wondered if soil still had a role, through functions it fulfills, at level local communities. this context, set out, starting from definition as cosmic–telluric–biotic product with notable valences in transition communities hunting to knowledge-based societies, make some scientific observations on importance resources. The research ...

This article deals with Friedrich Albert Fallou (1794–1877), a lawyer by education strong interest for soil and geology who published “Pedologie oder allgemeine und besondere Bodenkunde” in 1862, that is, 20 years before Dokuchaev's (1883) “Russian Chernozem.” He is known having coined the term of “pedology” but his role development science needs recognition, opinions diverging this far regard ...

Soil horizon designation plays a key role in the communication of information about soils – hence need for uniformity, consistency and clarity way soil horizons are defined designated. Since its establishment late 19th century, A-B-C schema has evolved with realisation that traditional concepts genesis embedded original system do not fit breadth current knowledge regarding development. Along mo...
