Thinning is a crucial practice in the forest ecosystem management. The soil infiltration rate and water storage capacity of pine-oak mixed forest under three different thinning intensity treatments (15%, 30%, and 60%) were studied in Qinling Mountains of China. The thinning operations had a significant influence on soil infiltration rate and water storage capacity. The soil infiltration rate an...

phyllodes tumors account for less than 1% of breast tumors in women. giant phyllodes tumors are larger than 10 cm in diameter. a 40-year-old lady presented with a left breast lump that was present for two years. she underwent a simple mastectomy. the tumor was 30×26×21 cm in size, weighed 15 kg and had a density of 0.915 gr/cm3. we believe this patient had the third largest breast phyllodes tum...

in order to investigate the effect of wastewater and compost on transport of heavy metals in a soil column, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replication was conducted. the variables included three types of water: fresh water (w1), treated wastewater (w2) and a composition of 50% raw wastewater and 50% fresh water (w3). besides, four levels of compost were ...

a filed experiment was conducted to assay the effect of nitrogen fertilization and cultivated density on essential oil content on dragonhead (dracocephalum moldavica) in semi-arid conditions in 100 km of south east of mashhad. the experiment was done as factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications, factor included four levels of nitrogen fertilization (0, 50, 100...

Abstract Soil organic matter has great importance in chemical, physical and biological processes soil-plant system. This study aimed to evaluate changes carbon humic fractions of soil under different vegetation coverings Cerrado Tocantins, Brazil. The work was developed Eucalyptus sp., Pasture, Agriculture sensu stricto areas. samples were collected dry period, October, 2018, trenches 70 x cm a...

The depth of sampling is an important factor for evaluating soil stability. The objective of this study was to test soil aggregate particle-size fractions and soil organic carbon (SOC) in water-stable aggregate by vegetation restoration through 0–60 cm soil profile. We collected soil samples in 30 years old Robinia psendoacacia (Rr); Platycladus orientalis (Po); Pinus tabulaeformis (Pt); abando...
