Biochar is gaining significant attention due to its potential for carbon (C) sequestration, improvement of soil health, fertility enhancement, and crop productivity quality. In this review, we discuss the most common available techniques biochar production, main physiochemical properties biochar, effects on including physical, chemical, biological parameters quality fertility, nutrient leaching...

Current streambank restoration efforts focus on providing bank stability, enhancing water quality, and improving woody habitat using native vegetation rather than traditional engineering techniques. However, in most cases harsh site conditions limit restoration success. A two-year field study was conducted at Twentymile Creek, in northern Mississippi, investigating edaphic factors governing the...

Climate scenarios predict more frequent and longer drought periods, potentially threatening agricultural yield. The water holding capacity of soils is crucial in controlling stress intensity for plants. Recently, amorphous silica was suggested to increase soil availability. objective this study explore the potential impact Si application on retention flow their consequence plant access under dr...

The use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) for management of the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus, in Florida citrus groves is considered a biological control success story and typically involves augmentation in which EPN are applied inundatively as biopesticides to quickly kill the pest. However, recent evidence indicates that efficacy of EPN applications in Florida citrus depends on soil t...

A major contaminant transport process in soils is hydrodynamic dispersion by affecting the spreading and arrival of surface-applied pollutants at underlying groundwater reservoirs. When a soil unsaturated, very much affected water saturation. Centimeter- decimeter-scale column experiments were carried out to explore effects fluid saturation particle size on unsaturated solute dispersivity. Meas...

Pathways of streamflow were investigated using geochemical tracers in ungauged headwater and higher-order streams in the semi-arid, forested, Valles Caldera, New Mexico. Combining diagnostic tools of mixing models and endmember mixing analysis (EMMA) shows that streamflow at East Fork Jemez River and San Antonio West (both > 120 km2) was controlled by mixing of three endmembers: near-surface ru...

The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an essential tool to determine hydraulic and mechanical properties of unsaturated soils. As inherent influencing factor, soil texture controls the characteristics SWCCs. Fractal theory can quantitatively describe physical soil. This study used particle size distribution data water content contained in UNSODA2.0 database explore fractal 12 types with...

A field experiment was conducted in a farmer Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeast, Thailand objectively to investigate the response of cassava, Huay Bong 80 variety phosphorus (P) fertilizer Warin soil series (classified as Grossarenic Paleustults) amended with cassava tails and stalk (CTS) mixed bentonite (BTN). The arranged split plot four replications. Main consisted rates CTS +BTN: 0+0, 6....
