abstract geomorphology and soil genesis and its development are closely related. besides, soil-landscape studies provide a better understanding of soil forming processes. the objectives of the present research include soil genesis studies, micromorphology and clay mineralogy of soils related to geomorphic surfaces in jiroft area. soil temperature and moisture regimes of the area are hyperthermi...

The micromorphology of foliar trichomes of Hypoestes aristata var. aristata was studied using stereo, light and scanning microscopy (SEM). This genus belongs to the advanced angiosperm family Acanthaceae, for which few micromorphological leaf studies exist. Results revealed both glandular and non-glandular trichomes, the latter being more abundant on leaf veins, particularly on the abaxial surf...

We present an automated system that we have developed for estimation of the bioecological quality of soils using various image analysis methodologies. Its goal is to analyze soilsection images, extract features related to their micromorphology, and relate the visual features to various degrees of soil fertility inferred from biochemical characteristics of the soil. The image methodologies used ...

In this study, the micromorphology of vegetative and reproductive structures endemic Centaurea glaberrima Tausch subsp. divergens (Vis.) Hayek (Asteraceae), using scanning electron microscope (SEM), is presented for first time. Uniseriate whip-like non-glandular biseriate glandular trichomes are found on surface all aboveground parts (stem, leaves, peduncles, involucral bract). On adaxial leaf ...
