one of the effective tools for identifying land resources and assign them to the best and most profitable forms of land productivity, susceptibility of agro-ecological zoning . in this study agro-ecological zoning of satellite imagery and gis were used. after agro-climatic zoning (based on isorain, isothermal and length of growing period maps) and agro-edaphic zoning (based on soil, slope and l...

abstract regarding to this issue that nitrogen is one of the main essential elements for plant that growth and efficiency of plant is related to it, and on the other hand most of the water and soil resources in iran are alkaline; in order to evaluation of the interactive effect of different concentrations of sodium bicarbonate and nitrogen form on snap bean in hydroponic system, this research w...

The paper provides a basin-scale assessment of the spatiotemporal distribution of alkalinity in the Mediterranean Sea. The assessment is made by integrating the available observations into a 3-D transport–biogeochemical model. The results indicate the presence of complex spatial patterns: a marked west-to-east surface gradient of alkalinity is coupled to secondary negative gradients: (1) from m...

Long-term (1987-2012) water quality monitoring in 36 acid-sensitive Swedish lakes shows slow recovery from historic acidification. Overall, strong acid anion concentrations declined, primarily as a result of declines in sulfate. Chloride is now the dominant anion in many acid-sensitive lakes. Base cation concentrations have declined less rapidly than strong acid anion concentrations, leading to...

Abstract Xanthan gels were assessed to control the reductive dechlorination of hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) and trichlorobenzenes (TCBs) in a strong permeability contrast high velocity sedimentary aquifer. An alkaline degradation was selected because low cost NaOH Ca(OH)2. The rheology xanthan their ability deliver alkalinity homogeneously, while maintaining latter, studied. Whereas behaved li...

A new, simple and accurate method is introduced for determining H(2)CO(3)(*) alkalinity in fresh waters dominated by the carbonate weak-acid system. The method relies on a single H(3)PO(4) dosage and two pH readings (acidic pH value target: pH~4.0). The computation algorithm is based on the concept that the overall alkalinity mass of a solution does not change upon the addition of a non-proton-...

Binding-site concentration and conditional stability constants for copper and fish gill surface interactions were calculated based on the data from the literature. Six scenarios were modeled by including or excluding pH and alkalinity differences between the fish gill microenvironment and the bulk solution and the presence of free mucus in the calculation. We demonstrate that changes in pH or a...

Bacterial wilt is one of the most severe tomato diseases worldwide and Ralstonia solanacearum is determined to be the pathogen responsible for its spread. Soil amendments such as calcium cyanamide and herb residues have both been proved to be high potential for tomato bacterial wilt control. Disinfection effect and heat generated during the decomposition processes of calcium cyanamide and herb ...
