Soil acidification is a severe environmental problem around the world. pH buffering capacity (pHBC) intrinsic factor affecting soil rate and intensively impacted by anthropogenic natural conditions. However, composite assessments of effects land use type on pHBC are still limited. Therefore, we collected samples five types (red soil, lateritic red latosol, paddy acid sulphate soil) from two pat...

Dairy cattle barns are a major source of NH3 emissions to the atmosphere. Previous studies have shown that the bedding material used in the barn can influence the magnitude of NH3 emissions, but little is known about which bedding characteristics are important in this respect. The aims of this study were to assess, at a laboratory scale, the relative importance of the chemical [pH, cation excha...

Cadmium (Cd) concentration in soil solution and its bioavailability is controlled by sorption-desorption reactions. The objective of this research was to compare Cd adsorption behavior in six calcareous and four acid soils. Soil samples were equilibrated with 0.01 M Ca(NO3)2 containing 25 to 3200 mg Cd L−1. Results showed that the tendency for adsorption was high at low Cd concentrations (0-400...

OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that HDL-apolipoprotein A-I exchange (HAE), a measure of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function and a key step in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), is impaired in metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) patients who are asymptomatic for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We also compared HAE with cell-based cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) to address previous repor...

In this study, the effects of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and acetic (HAc) modification on hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB) K+ adsorption characteristics a natural zeolite were investigated. Electrokinetic evaluations showed that HCl had more prominent effect zeta potential compared to HAc. Additionally, pH regulation behavior acid-modified samples was found differ from sample it in agre...

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer application is one of the causes soil acidification at tea plantations. However, effect N on characteristics plantations with different acidities remains unclear. In this study, field experiments were conducted to investigate effects nitrogen rates pH, pH buffer capacity (pHBC), exchangeable total acidity (ETA), base cations (EBCs), and cation exchange (CEC) in topsoil n...

The importance of irrigation practice in food production cannot be over-emphasised, however practices impact soils and other environmental parameters negatively. This necessitates the need for continuous monitoring impacts on general environment. A study was carried out Josepdam Irrigation Scheme (JIS) located Bacita, Ilorin, Nigeria. limited to assessment soil physical chemical properties. Soi...

Soil particle-size distribution (PSD) is an important soil feature that associated with erosion, fertility, and physical chemical properties. However, very few studies have been carried out to investigate degradation using the fractal dimension (D) of PSD soils from different land-use types in calcareous Iran. For this study, 120 samples (0–20 cm) were collected Fars Province, various basic pro...

The aim of this study is to determine the effects phosphorus-enriched cattle manure applications on exchangeable cations content, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and base saturation rate (BSR) lime soil. research was carried out with four different levels (except control) dairy (M1: 10; M2: 20; M3: 30; M4: 40 t ha-1) phosphorus dose (P1: P2: P3: P4: kg P in ecological conditions Southwest Türki...

the functions employed in an estimation of costly measured soil properties from either widely available or more easily obtained basic soil properties are referred to as pedotransfer functions. to develop pedotransfer functions, one can use multivariate regression, neural networks and neuro-fuzzy models. to make a comparison among the mentioned models, 153 soil samples were collected from soils ...
