in this study, the batch equilibrium method was used to conduct metribuzin adsorption/desorption experiments with eight soils from different regions of iran. the results indicated that the organic carbon (oc) content, clay content, cation exchange capacity (cec), and ph had a combined effect on the metribuzin adsorption on soil. under the experimental conditions, the adsorption amount of metrib...

the field study was conducted in one district of educational-experimental forest at tehran university (kheirood-kenar forest) in the north of iran. eighty-five soil profiles were dug in the site of study and several chemical and physical soil properties were considered. these factors included: soil ph, soil texture, bulk density, organic carbon, total nitrogen, extractable phosphorus and depth ...

land cover change constitutes one of main way of alteration of soil organic matter in both quantitative and qualitative terms. the goal of this study was to compare the carbon stock and the isotopic signature of the organic matter in the soil of areas with different land use, covered with forest and grass (pasture). the study area is located at sorocaba, sp, brazil. using un-deformed soil sampl...

Total organic carbon has a major influence on both the chemical and biological processesthat take place in sediments. Algal bloom is one of the organic carbon levels in aquatic ecosystems. In 2009 algal bloom occurred in the Hormozgan province and prolonged for months, which finally setteled down in 2010. In this study the variations of total organic carbon (TOC), organic matter (TOM) and tot...

balance among different fractions of a carbon sources is of paramount importance in maintenance of very important in soil quality and environmental health. on the other hand, rapid growth of world population, degradation of agricultural soils, along with release of greenhouse gasses are some of the main challenges of the 21st century. the aim of this study was to investigate the extent of chang...

Soils were collected from a broad leaf-Pinus massoniana mixed forest, a Chinese fir (Cunninghamialan ceolata)-Pinus massoniana mixed forest, and a pure Pinus massoniana subtropical forest for subsequent analyses to compare characteristics of soil organic carbon and microbial biomass carbon content. Soil organic carbon mineralization characteristics were further modeled using a double exponentia...

the effect of european black alder (alnus glutinosa l.) on the contents of carbon and nitrogen,exchangeable base cations, and plant available forms of phosphorus in the reclaimed mine soils formed bywaste deposition from opencast lignite mines was researched in central serbia. it was concluded that thegreatest part of dead organic residues reaching the soil under european black alder monocultur...
