Soil salinity is one of the parameters used for determining extent soil salinization. During water evaporation, surface salt-affected soils in Songnen Plain, China, exhibits obvious shrinkage and cracking phenomena due to high salt content. The aim this current study quantify influence content on shrinkage–cracking process achieve quantitative extraction based different crack parameter types. I...

the development of seminal and lateral root system plays a major role in plant access to water and nutrients under abiotic stress, especially salinity. in order to understand the relation between root growth responsesand shoot physiological indices oftwo bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (kavir and shiraz), a greenhouse experiment was conducted with two salinity levels (0 and ...

water deficiency is one of the most important factors for limiting crop yield in arid and semiarid regions. symbiosis with a variety of microorganisms in these regions is one of the modern ecological approaches for sustainable agriculture to reduce damages caused by environmental stresses. symbiotic of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (am) with the roots of crops has shown positive effects on agric...

This study evaluated the growth and population structure of Xiphopenaeuskroyeri in Babitonga Bay, southern Brazil. Monthly trawls were conducted from July 2010 through June 2011, using a shrimp boat outfitted with double-rig nets, at depths from 5 to 17 m. Differences from the expected 0.5 sex ratio were determined by applying a Binomial test. A von Bertalanffy growth model was used to estimate...

The relationship between broiler breast meat color and pH, moisture content, water-holding capacity (WHC), and emulsification capacity (EC) was investigated. In each of three replicate trials, fillets were collected from three different commercial processing plants according to breast meat lightness (L*) values as follows: lighter than normal (light, L* > 53), normal (48 < L* < 53), and darker ...

the present study investigated oil/water demulsification and treatment of oily wastewater originated from port waste reception facilities by electro coagulation using aluminum electrodes in a batch reactor. the efficiency of al electrodes in removing ss, cod, and oil &amp; grease from wastewater with different current densities and operational times were investigated. the characteristics of th...

One of the main aims of water resource planners and managers is to estimate and predict the parameters of groundwater quality so that they can make managerial decisions. In this regard, there have many models developed, proposing better management in order to maintain water quality. Most of these models require input parameters that are either hardly available or time-consuming and expensive to...
