Soil erosion is a major problem in arid regions, including the Abha-Khamis watershed Saudi Arabia. This research aimed to identify soil erosional probability using various erodibility indices, clay ratio (CR), modified (MCR), Critical Level of Organic Matter (CLOM), and principle component analysis based index (SEI). To achieve these objectives, study used t -tests an artificial neural network ...

Landscape evolution models that invert topography for rock uplift can improve our understanding of both tectonic and geomorphic processes when properly constrained with data. Here we present a flexible, data-driven Bayesian approach to fluvial model parameters apply it case study, the uplifting footwall Corinth Rift, Greece. We transient river profiles up-flexed marine terraces resolve seven un...

abstract the effect of land use type on soil functioning within an ecosystem can be assessed and monitored using soil quality attributes. such studies, which are carried out to create a balance between the biological production and the maintenance and improvement of land resource quality, provide a framework for land degradation control and also for identification of sustainable management. in ...

the rehabilitation of sandy desertified land in various dryland ecosystems by different management practices has a great potential to increase aggregate stability and improve soil quality. however, plants in general may have a different ability to sustain soil. the objective was to determine the effects of reclamation practices including haloxylon ammodendron and atriplex canescens plantation o...

We recently identified a novel human protein kinase, p160 ROCK, as a putative downstream target of the small GTPase Rho. Using the human ROCK cDNA as a probe, we isolated cDNA of two distinct, highly related sequences from mouse libraries. One encoded a mouse counterpart of human ROCK (ROCK-I), and the other encoded a novel ROCK-related kinase (ROCK-II). Like ROCK/ROCK-I, ROCK-II also bound to ...

No-till acreage has increased in recent years, but many farmers alternate no-till with other tillage practices, limiting public and private benefits from sustained no-till adoption. Revealed preference data are used in an ordered logit regression analysis to determine the effect of soil characteristics, climate, regions, farm characteristics, and producer demographics on producers’ choices to u...
