The production and consumption of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in soil profile are poorly understood. This work sought to quantify the GHG production and consumption at seven depths (0-30, 30-60, 60-90, 90-150, 150-200, 200-250 and 250-300 cm) in a long-term field experiment with a winter wheat-summer maize rotation system, and four N a...

During 2010 and 2011, Aspergillus species from section Flavi were isolated from rhizosphere in main peanut-growing region of Iran, Astaneh-e Ashrafiyeh, Guilan Province (northern Iran). The soil samples were taken from fruiting zone of peanuts in 3 districts and 10 locations, during the pod-filling period. The populations of Aspergillus section Flavi showed significant differences in cfu g-1 am...

the changes in density and biomass of macrobenthos were seasonally investigated from winter 2005 till fall 2006 in southern caspian sea. samples were taken with a 225cm2 van veen grab from depths of 7 and 20 meters along two transects: line 8 area (western part) and radio darya area (eastern part). totally, 5 classes of macrobenthos were identified of which the most abundant populations were po...

Livestock grazing is one of the most important kinds of land usage that has a high potential to decrease or increase carbon storage in rangeland ecosystem. This research was investigated the effects of enclosure on soil carbon storage in a rangeland with dominant plants of Artemisia aucheri. Hence, two rangelands of enclosure (Shahtappeh-Chah Mahmood) and no enclosure (Chiro) were chosen in Sem...

reported resistance values of 2,8 to 3,2 MPa for tillage pans in A long term trial to study the sustainability of a vertisol under continuous spgarcane monocropping was commenced in 1939 at the Experiment Station of the South African Sugar Association. The design of the trial consists of four replications of two main plots, each split into four sub-plots. The treatments comprise various combina...

this study was conducted to characterize the reactivity of carbonates in the surface horizons of 20 soils (entisols and aridisols) from central region of iran. the samples were analyzed for calcium carbonate equivalent (cce), active calcium carbonate equivalent (acce), non-active calcium carbonate equivalent (n.acce), carbonate mineralogy and surface area of carbonates (ssa) through n2 adsorpti...

We studied the responses of soil fauna to a simulated nitrogen deposition in nursery experimental plots in Subtropical China. Dissolved NH4NO3 was applied to the soil by spraying twice per month for 16 months, starting in January 2003 with treatments of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 30 gN/(m2 x a). Soil fauna was sampled after 6, 9, 13 and 16 months of treatment in three soil depths (0-5 cm, 5-10 cm, 10-15 ...

Blended Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Boron fertilizer calibration foxr optimum common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties yield was used to assess the effect of different rates blended on growth, components, nutrient use efficiency identify economically feasible at Meskan District, Southern Ethiopia during 2020 crop season. The experiment had six treatment levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, ...
