This paper presents the distribution of the terrestrial isopod Hyloniscus adonis (Verhoeff, 1927) in croatia. It was recorded for the first time at the edge of Dubravica peat bog and the adjacent forest. Additionally, it was collected at the edges of Đon močvar peat bog. Revision of the terrestrial isopod collection of the Croatian Biospeleological Society revealed that this species also occurs...

Irrigation of vegetables during both air and soil-born drought has very positive effect on growth, development and yield. The impact of irrigation on the metabolism of plants is very complex because the increase in soil moisture affects plant physical, chemical and biological properties. Increasing the amount of water in the soil increases its heath capacity. Irrigated (wet) soil is cooler in s...

abstract in this study, evaluation of swap model in simulating crop yield, water and salt movement in soil were investigated in the wheat- fodder maize cultivated units. the research was conducted in the voshmgir network, golestan province. the crop yield, soil humidity and moisture data in different times of agriculture year of 2007-2008 were measured. the measured and simulated data were anal...

As a fundamental characteristic of soil physical properties, the soil Particle Size Distribution (PSD) is important in the research on soil moisture migration, solution transformation, and soil erosion. In this research, the PSD characteristics with distinct methods in different land uses are analyzed. The results show that the upper bound of the volume domain of the clay domain ranges from 5.7...

WANG 2. M.. JOHXEN K. H. and LECHO~VICZ iM. J. Is climate simulatiori in growth chambers necessary? BIOTRONICS 28, 13-21, 1999. In the expression of their genetic potential as phenotypes, trees respond to environmental cues such as photoperiod, temperature and soil and atmospheric water. However, growth chamber experiments often utilize simple and standard environmental conditions that might no...

Desiccation cracking is a natural phenomenon caused by drying in near-surface earth soils subjected to constrained shrinkage. In this research, the water retention curve of two clayey soils, prepared compaction under standard proctor conditions, are determined study desiccation cracking. Two techniques suction control applied process and reach soils. For values higher than 4 MPa, saline-solutio...

Data collected around the Santa Catalina Mountains in Arizona as part of the Cumulus Photogrammetric, In Situ and Doppler Observations (CuPIDO) experiment during the 2006 summer monsoon season are used to investigate the effect of soil moisture on the surface energy balance, boundary layer (BL) characteristics, thermally forced orographic circulations, and orographic cumulus convection. An unus...
