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...

We are consistently being exposed to nanomaterials in direct and/or indirect route as they are used in almost all the sectors in our life. Nations across the worlds are now trying to put global regulation policy on nanomaterials. Sometimes, they are reported to be more toxic than the corresponding ion and micromaterials. Therefore, safety research of nanoparticles has huge implications on a nat...

The present study was undertaken May-September (2007) to investigate the effect of organic viz., plant compost (PC), vermicompost (VC), integrated plant compost (IPC) and farmyard manure (FYM) and inorganic (NPK) fertilisers on the rhizosphere microbial population and soil physico chemical properties of soybean variety JS80-21. Control (CON) plot was also maintained without any fertilisers. Res...

The study was conducted to analyze the physico-chemical properties of various levels of brick kiln dust in soil application (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50%), before planting and after harvesting of potato (Solanum tuberosum) crop and to observe their impact on various parameters of potato plant. The pH, EC, CEC, WHC, pore space, sulphate, chloride, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, manganese a...

Background: Soil is a crucial and remarkable component of the terrestrial ecosystems. The objective this study to analyze macronutrients micronutrients in order understand suitability soil for cultivation crops selected sites. In present physicochemical analysis was carried out by analyzing parameters i.e. pH, organic carbon potassium etc. Methods: Four samples were collected 2017-2018 during w...

Different groups of microorganisms are present in mangrove areas, and they perform complex interactions for nutrient and ecological balances. Since little is known about microbial populations in mangroves, this study analyzed the microbial community structure and function in relation to soil physico-chemical properties in Bhitarkanika, a tropical mangrove ecosystem in India. Spatial and seasona...
