Improving Soil Texture Digital Mapping Using Landsat 8 Satellite Imageries in Calcareous Soils of Southern Iran

knowledge of the phosphorus (p) forms is essential for understanding the behavior of phosphorus. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of wheat cultivation on different inorganic p forms of soil. a greenhouse factorial experiment in a completely randomized design was carried out with three replications in 20 soil types and plantation at two levels (with and without plantation). th...

The intensive use for over 100 years of copper sulfate (Bordeaux mixture) to fight against mildew in vineyard soils has led to an important, widespread accumulation of Cu (100 to 1500 mg Cu kg-1 soil). In Champagne vineyards, organic amendments are used currently to increase soil fertility and to limit soil erosion. Organic amendments may have a direct effect on the retention of Cu in the soil....

Abstract This paper presents a case study for the testing of locally available resources selected to form clay barrier. is promising technique protecting historic masonry from ground moisture intrusion. There are several historical precedents use calcareous, clayey soils resilient barriers in architecture. More recently, specialised bentonite mixtures have arrived on market. Assessment protocol...

appropriate management of soil phosphorus (p) fertility in highly calcareous soils of iran as around the world should rely upon sound knowledge about the phosphorus reserve and its bioavailability. despite numerous reports on the positive effects of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (vam) fungi on phosphorus uptake which is associated to ectomycorrhiza as a branch of two major branches of group ...

Under certain conditions, olive trees grown on calcareous soils suffer from iron chlorosis. In the present study several olive varieties and scion-rootstock combinations were evaluated for their tolerance to iron chlorosis. Plants were grown over several months in pots with a calcareous soil, under two fertilization treatments. These consisted of periodic applications of nutrient solutions cont...

pedogenesis and clay mineralogy of soils and rock samples were studied in a transect of calcareous, gypsiferous, saline soils and sediments of bakhtegan lake bank in southern iran. the main objectives of study were to determine the occurrence of clay minerals and factors controlling their distribution pattern and relative abundance in soils and parent materials. the soil parent material is high...

abstract nowadays, environmental pollution by heavy metals is one of the most serious threats of the world which needs effective remediation actions. the aim of this study was to investigate the potential use of atriplex [atriplex verucifera], salicornia [salicornia europaea] and chenopodium album in simultaneous uptake and accumulation of na and cd or pb in two calcareous soils with different ...

introduction: iron cycle is one of the most important biogeochemical processes which affect the availability of iron in soils. ferric iron oxides are the most abundant forms of iron in soils and sediments. ferric iron is highly insoluble at circumneutral ph. present investigations have shown that the structural ferric iron bound in clay minerals is reduced by some microorganisms. anaerobic bact...
