Rainbow trout is economically the most important cultivated fish in Finland. In this study, new knowledge on the energy consumption, emissions and environmental impacts caused by the production of rainbow trout in Finland was generated. Methodologically the work was based on life cycle assessment (LCA) beginning from the extraction of raw materials and ending with the delivery of gutted fish to...

In order to help farmers to understand soil nutrients, use effectively our soil and protect our environment, at the same time to improve sustainable development of the agricultural system, the topsoil samples were collected form yushu city .The ways of combining Geostatistics with GIS were applied to analyze the spatial variability of soil nutrients, such as Alkaline hydrolysis nitrogen, availa...

A manageable, relatively inexpensive model was constructed to predict the loss of nitrogen and phosphorus from a complex catchment to its drainage system. The model used an export coefficient approach, calculating the total nitrogen (N) and total phosphorus (P) load delivered annually to a water body as the sum of the individual loads exported from each nutrient source in its catchment. The exp...

Non-point source pollution is widely considered a serious threat to drinking water. Eutrophication in Chinese watershed is mainly due to nitrogen and phosphorus output from agricultural source. Taihu Lake is a typical eutrophic lake in China, a basin representative for the study of the temporal-spatial characteristics of pollution loading of nitrogen and phosphorus to provide scientific basis f...

nitrogen is one of the most limiting nutrients for cereal production in many parts of iran. the effects of crop residue incorporation [0 (control), 25 and 50% of wheat (triticum aestivum l.)] and nitrogen (n) levels (0, 150, and 300 kg ha-1) on corn (zea mays l.) grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency were investigated at agricultural research station, shiraz university, shiraz, iran for two y...

in order to investigate the effects of soil chemical characteristics on weed species diversity in eastern mashhad region wheat (triticum aestivum l.) fields, an investigation was held in the year 2009. wheat fields were classified based on the acreage from 3-5, 5-10 and higher than 10 ha. five random soil samples were taken using a 5 cm diameter auger from the soil of each experimental field an...

The present study illustrates the efficiency of microalgae based treatment system. Treatment of wastewater with Microalgae based system have the ability to remove nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and other nutrients), heavy metals, toxic substances (both organic and inorganic), BOD, COD and other impurities present in the wastewater by using the sunlight, CO2, and impurities like nutrients prese...
