soil, a 3-dimensional component of the landscape, or simply a natural body in a soilscape with a given geopedological setting, was modeled by jenny as s = f (climate, organism, relief, parent material, time). to map such a complex body, the concept ‗pedon’ –the smallest volume that can be recognized as a soil had to be defined. classically, soil is known to function as provider, controller, reg...

Turfgrasses play an important role in improving the environment atmosphere, and functional values modern cities. Soil-borne diseases are one of most significant constraints to ornamental nursery outputs. Among several fungi isolated from roots turfgrass plants collectedfrom different land scape gardens located at Alexandria , Cairo, Giza,

Climate change is deviations from the average atmospheric state produced by both natural and anthropogenic. Deforestation greenhouse gas such as CO2, CH4 N2O are main factors of causing climatic fluctuation. Climatic fluctuation has direct indirect effect on agricultural production productivity well social healthy. Phonological changes, phenotypic morphological plant land scape changes while so...

As stated by the editors Brandt, C. and Thornes, J., 1996, “Both the vegetation and land use in the Mediterranean areas of Europe strongly reflect human activity since at least the Bronze Age”. Putting it briefly for the recent past ca. ninety-year period, the natural land‐ scape covered by the original “silvalusitana” has been deforested for agricultural purposes and substituted by monoculture...

Landscape evolution in the eastern Mojave Desert is recorded by sys1ematic changes in Pliocene to latest Pleistocene volcanic: land· forms that show discrete periods of eolian deposition, surface stabilization, drainage-network expansion, and erosion on basaltic lava nows. These processes are documented by K·Ar dating in conjunction with morphometric, sedimentologic. pedologic, and geophysica1 ...

In this paper we describe our development of an interactive touch tabletop user interface for a landscape design tool. The user interface provides a view of the data, which combines the affordances of a multi-touch tabletop display with a vertical screen for real-time feedback. While the table metaphor fits well with the concepts of a top down view of land-scape, approachable from any direction...

The study assessed soil erosion features in hilly agricultural watersheds in central Sichuan Province, China. Relationships among area percentages of land covers, soil erosion modulus, soil loss rate, and area percentage of erosion in the watersheds were examined by multivariate regression analysis. The first two regression models were constructed with area percentages of land covers as indepen...
