The Regional Superfund Ground Water Forum is a group of ground-water scientists, representing EPA's Regional Superfund Offices, organized to exchange up-to-date information related to ground-water remediation of Superfund sites. One of the major issues of concern to the Forum is the transport and fate of contaminants in soil and ground water as related to subsurface remediation. Processes which...

r a 200 .005 niversity 68583. vit.bme Summary Coupled, finite-element models are applied for hillslope runoff investigations. Subsurface flow is modeled by the 2-D Richards equation extended for the saturated zone. Surface runoff is described by the linear and also by the nonlinear kinematic wave equations coupled to the subsurface model through infiltration and/or saturation excess. It is conc...

Soil properties change with depth. Layers of soil that are nearly parallel with the soil surface and that are distinguishable from adjacent layers are called soil horizons. Horizons are visible on the vertical wall of a pit dug into the soil; the entire series of horizons visible on this wall is known as a soil profile. An idealized soil profile is illustrated in Figure 1. Soil classification r...

Activities of burrowing herbivores, including movement of soil and litter and deposition of waste material, can alter the distribution of labile carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil, affecting spatial patterning of nutrient dynamics in ecosystems where they are abundant. Their role in ecosystem processes in surface soil has been studied extensively, but effects of burrowing species on processes ...

The effects of geological conditionwere assessed on density of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and Nitrogen (N)in a sequence of hillslope landscape, derived from different lithology i.e. loess deposit, reworked loess, marl with mixed siltstone and shale, reddish brown clay deposits and older loess in the semiarid area of northern Iran. However, other factors can influence SOC and N density such as la...

Determination and recognition of relative distribution of chemical forms of each element and their relationship with physical, chemical and soil clay minerals can help researchers to manage soil fertility better. This research attempted to recognize chemical fractions of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) in some surface and subsurface soil samples of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province and their relati...
