Here we explore influence of centuryto millennial-scale duration of ...

The article describes the chemical composition of newly irrigated, developed sandy-desert, old-irrigated alluvial-meadow, newly-irrigated gray-brown-meadow, gray-earth-meadow soils, common in lower and middle reaches Zarafshan River, decrease amount nutrients soil under influence anthropogenic factors. In arable subarable layers old irrigated meadow-alluvial humus is 0.859-0.971% 0.715-0.894%, ...

As an essential component for the development of Xiong’an New Area, China’s second capital, groundwater in area has been overexploited, resulting ecological and environmental geological problems. Therefore, artificial replenishment measures are urgently required, which evaluation recharge potential is important prerequisite. In this study, a GIS (Geographic Information System)-based multi-crite...

Corn acreage has increased in recent years in Louisiana. Much of this is on mixed to heavy Mississippi River alluvial soils and to a lesser extent on loessial silt loams of the Macon Ridge. Each of these soil groups are unique in their phys­ ical and chemical characteristics and different management strategies may be required to produce optimal yield. Research has indicated that corn performs b...

Transition from endorheic alluvial fan environments to well-channelized fluvial systems in natural conditions may occur in response to base-level fluctuations. However, human-induced changes in semi-arid regions can also be responsible for similar unforeseen modifications. Our results confirm that in-channel gravel mining and aquifer overexploitation over the last 50 years in the case study are...
