The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, and the soilborne fungus Thielaviopsis basicola, the causal agent of black root-rot, are important plant pathogens of cotton in Arkansas. When M. incognita and T. basicola occur in the same field, greater damage may occur on cotton than when only one of the pathogens is present. Studying the relationship of soil factors on M. incognita Monfort et a...

abstract soil invertebrate and their spatial pattern are affected strongly by environmental factors. spatial variability of soil properties is one of the most important reasons of the macrofauna variability. this study was conducted to investigate the spatial variability of soil properties and soil macrofauna biomass in the riparian forest landscape of karkhe river. soil macro fauna were sample...

A geo-statistics method combined with GIS was applied to study the soil special variation characteristics of a typical basin on the Northwestern Plateau of Hebei Province. It indicates that the rational crop layout is determined by the soil texture. And the crop layout optimization schemes were put forward for different production objectives based on the GIS platform with the soilcrops special ...

Australia's "Direct Action" climate change policy relies on purchasing greenhouse gas abatement from projects undertaking approved abatement activities. Management of soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural soils is an approved activity, based on the expectation that land use change can deliver significant changes in SOC. However, there are concerns that climate, topography and soil texture w...

centration. We did this because it is well established that the FC is driven by soil texture. However, to avoid confusion and to focus on our findings we removed the term “soil texture” when explaining the driving factors and used FC only. We remind that field capacity (crosses in Figure 4) were determined with the measurements of the matric potential and soil moisture from the relevant depth (...

the current research was carried out to find out the most effective environmental factors in plant species occurrence by classification and ordination methods. for this purpose, the study was conducted in nir rangelands of yazd province and topography, climate, soil and grazing intensity data of the region were determined. sampling method was randomized–systematic and within each sampling unit ...
