owing to the importance and necessity of identifying soil properties in arid rangeland management, and the variableeffects of different kinds of herbivores on soil, this study compares some of the physical and chemical properties ofsoil between two regions experiencing livestock and wildlife grazing in the desert rangelands of kalmand-bahadoranin yazd province. the key areas in two regions expe...

Urban and peri-urban agriculture is becoming increasingly important as a source of income and food for the urban population in South Africa. This study was prompted by concerns of city authorities that soil compaction in horticultural fields that used conventional tillage practices with tractors was, not only limiting the performance of fruit and vegetable crops, but also affecting the quality ...

Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is a seismic wave propagation method which involves the measurement of Rayleigh waves propagating along the surface of a medium. The method is non-intrusive, fast and practical and it has been successfully utilized for the in-situ evaluation of shear modulus and layer thicknesses of soils and, more recently, pavement systems. The method is also wid...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reforestation on physical and chemical soil properties particularly soil carbon storage in the berenjastanak forest. forestations were including acer velotinum boiss., fraxinus excelsior l., populus nigra l. and pinus brutia ten. a witness forest with mixed species was selected as region potential. four soil profiles were drilled in each fo...

One objective of precision agriculture is to provide accurate information about soil and crop properties to optimize the management of agricultural inputs to meet site-specific needs. This paper describes the development of a sensor equipped with RTK-GPS technology that continuously and efficiently measures soil cutting resistance at various depths while traversing the field. Laboratory and pre...
