The detection method of the soil nutrients (organic matter and available N, P, K) were analyzed based on the near infrared spectroscopy technology in order to decision-making for precision fertilization. 54 samples with 7m×7m was collected using DGPS receiver positioning in a soybean field. The soil organic matter, available nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), available potassium (K) conten...

this study was carried out to investigate the effective environmental factors in the distribution of vegetation in zirkouh rangelands of qaen. after delimitation of the study area, sampling of soil and vegetation were performed using randomized- systematic method. vegetation cover was recorded by using braun-blanquet combined abundance-cover scale in each sample. within each sample, one profile...

Analysis of data from the long term trash management trial at Mount Edgccombe (BTI) has shown that, after 59 ycars of green cane harvesting, with trash retention there was a significant incr-ease in soil organic matter content in thc surface 10 cm of soil compared with burning. The size of the microbial biomass, and its rcspiratory rate, dchytlrogenase activity and arginine ammonification rate ...

Temporary wetlands are short-term alternative ecosystems formed by flooding for irrigation of areas used for rice farming. The goal of this study is to describe the development cycle of rice fields as temporary wetlands in southern Brazil, evaluating how this process affect the gas production (CH4 and CO2) in soil with difference % carbon and organic matter content. Two areas adjacent to Lake M...

the aim of the study is to determine the major source and extent of metal pollution in the vicinity of dashkasan gold mine. dashkasan mine has resulted in extensive contamination of soils by arsenic (as) and potentially toxic ore-related elements including mercury (hg), antimony (sb) and cadmium (cd). soils samples were collected and analyzed for as, cd, hg, pb and sb. the concentration of each...

growth and productivity of plants are mainly affected by various environmentalfactors in different ecosystems and natural habitat in the world. this research aims to studythe existing relationships between the phytosociology characteristics of thymuskotschyanus and environmental factors in order to find the most important factorsgoverning development of the species in middle taleghan rangelands...

abstract introduction: due to environmental and human health concerns related to humic acid (ha), mainly leading to disinfection by-products creation, removal or reduction of this matters is a necessary for drinking water suppliers. based on resistive economy map road and move to self-sufficiency, it is necessary to produce our need in water treatment industry. one of the main consumed material...

in a semiarid region of central iran, effects of parent materials, physiography and landscape position, land use, andmanagement practices on association of organic carbon with secondary (aggregates) particles and aggregate stability canhave important consequences in terms of carbon sequestration and budgeting, deciding on the proper land use strategy andsuitable soil conservation practices. it ...

The development of the yield and nutritive value of timothy (Phleum pratense L.) both in the primary growth and in the regrowth were studied at MTT Plant Production Research, a unit of MTT Agrifood Research Finland, in Rovaniemi (66°35 ́N) in 1999–2001. The dry matter yield and leaf to stem ratio were measured from the crop samples, and the contents of crude protein and organic matter digestibil...
