Field experiment was conducted at Soil Science Research Farm of SHUATS Prayagraj, (U.P.) on, sandy loam soil to” Influenced Vermicompost and Biofertilizer on Physico-chemial properties under hybrid Maize (Zea may L.)” during kharif season 2022. There are nine treatment combinations were comprised in randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that the application PSB had...

A global multicompartment model which is based on a 3-D atmospheric general circulation model (ECHAM5) coupled to 2-D soil, vegetation and sea surface mixed layer reservoirs, is used to simulate the atmospheric transports and total environmental fate of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and γ -hexachlorocyclohexane (γ -HCH, lindane). Emissions into the model world reflect the substance’s ag...

this study was performed in order to investigate the changes in vegetation and soil properties in compartment no.317 (managed forest) and no.318 (control forest) of jamand district of golband forest in mazandaran (noshahr). for this purpose, random-systematic sampling method with regular grid of 100×200 m was used to locate samples. the plot size was 400 m2 considering to tree and shrub species...

This study investigated sorption and biodegradation behaviour of 14 organic micropollutants (OMP) in soil columns representative of the first metre (oxic conditions) of the river bank filtration (RBF) process. Breakthrough curves were modelled to differentiate between OMP sorption and biodegradation. The main objective of this study was to investigate if the OMP biodegradation rate could be rel...

Contents of total Hg and Hg fraction, organic matter, pH, grain size and chemical composition were measured to investigate the pollution characteristics and binding behavior of Hg in soils collected from the Chatian Hg mining deposit (CMD), southwestern China. The average concentration of Hg concentration in the CMD soils was 155 and 1,315 times higher than that in control soils and Chinese soi...

Coastal ecosystems are considered buffer zones for the discharge of land-derived nutrients without accounting for potential negative side effects. Hence, there is an urgent need to better understand the ecological assembly and dynamics of the microorganisms that are involved in nitrogen (N) cycling in such systems. Here, we employed two complementary methodological approaches (i.e., shotgun met...

A chamber, named SOIL-INSECT toolbox, was developed to analyse the effect of various factors on behaviour soil-dwelling insects. It is equipped with sensors that continuously monitor concentration CO2 in different compartments chamber without disturbing air balance soil. The can be adapted study stimuli, including volatile compounds, both presence and absence plants. tested using larvae Melolon...
