Soil quality is a useful concept when assessing the sustainability of an agricultural business and demonstrating ability soil to maintain plant animal productivity, improve water air quality, protect human health. SQI variable with following characteristics: 1) well correlated ecosystem processes; 2) integration physical, chemical, biological properties; 3) good sensitivity human-induced change...

Long-term unreasonable management has led to the continuous decline of soil quality in Melaleuca alternifolia planting areas southern China, and there is no effective way improve its at present. In this study, residues tea tree oil extraction were returned forest explore influence on quality. Therefore, four test groups (RT, tiled; RS, stacked; RDT, decomposed RDS, stacked) one control group (C...

The Simple Query Interface (SQI) is a query transport standard that is becoming widely used within the e-learning community. Thanks to a common WSDL binding, SQI-compliant repositories of learning resources can query each other. This common binding directly maps the SQI specification. As a consequence, many remote calls (known to present an important latency) are necessary to query a repository...

Soil quality assessment serves as an index for appraising soil sustainability under varied management approaches. Our current investigation was oriented to establish a minimum data set (MDS) of indicators through the selection apt scoring functions each indicator, thus evaluating in Himalayan foothills. The experiment conducted during two consecutive years, viz. 2016 and 2017, comprised 13 trea...

The bare lands formed after volcanic eruptions provide an excellent opportunity to study the interactions between vegetation succession and soil formation. To explore changes in physicochemical properties processes relationship them, of different ash accumulation on Miyake-jima Island were studied at stages. results showed that bulk density gradually decreased porosity, water content (SWC), pH,...

Grasslands are at risk of degradation due to unsustainable management practices and climate change. Here, we review the principal soil quality indicators (SQIs) evaluate sustainability different grassland globally. We discuss importance SQI assessment Soil Quality Minimum Dataset (MDS) specifically in context grasslands. then two potential solutions, first which is adopting grazing management, ...

Soil quality evaluation provides necessary and fundamental data information for understanding the current situation of soils promoting sustainable use land resources. In this study, soil was assessed by developing a structural equation model (SEM) in five aged Chinese fir plantations, located same type, with similar site conditions, Subtropical China. A total 150 samples were taken from stands ...

The seed provenance can interfere with their size, as well in the growth of saplings and susceptibility to stress. aim this study was evaluate quality Brosimum gaudichaudii Trécul seeds seedlings obtained from two different locations. Seeds were collected municipalities state Goiás - Iporá Jataí, 2018. Individual size mass dimension, seedling emergence percentage speed, initial growth, leaf chl...

BACKGROUND Prehospital severity scores can be used in routine prehospital care, mass casualty care, and military triage. If computers could reliably calculate clinical scores, new clinical and research methodologies would be possible. One obstacle is that vital signs measured automatically can be unreliable. We hypothesized that Signal Quality Indices (SQI's), computer algorithms that different...

Crop diversity through residue incorporation is the most important method for sustaining soil health. A field study was conducted over five consecutive years (2012–2017) to see impact of incorporartions in Inceptisol eastern India. The main plot treatments had cropping systems (CS), namely, fallow?rice?rice (FRR), jute?rice?wheat (JRW), jute?rice?baby corn (JRBc), jute?rice?vegetable pea (JRGp)...
