The study on soil spectral reflectance features is the physical basis for soil remote sensing. Soil organic matter content influences the soil spectral reflectance dramatically. This paper studied the spectral curves between 400nm~2500nm of 174 soil samples which were collected in Hengshan county and Yixing county. Fourteen types of transformation were applied to the soil reflectance R to remov...

The Chernevaya taiga is a unique ecosystem formed under the influence of complex geogenic and bioclimatic factors located in foothill border southeastern part Western Siberia. combination local climatic conditions composition parent material led to formation specific soil on territory these habitats. soils have morphogenesis. They thick podzolized horizon are fertile, unlike typical oligotrophi...

Bioactive potential of actinomycetes isolated from certain less explored Indian ecosystems against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other nonmycobacterial pathogens was investigated. Actinomycetes were isolated from the soil samples collected from desert, coffee plantation, rubber forest, and hill area and their cultural and micromorphological characteristics were studied. Crude extracts were pre...

In this study, the micromorphological features of 19 Salvia L. taxa belonging to Lamiaceae family were compared statistically. For studies, manual cross sections prepared. The colored using safranin and fast-green dyes after that, photographed by different magnification light microscope. data obtained from investigated samples turned into tables used for statistical studies. Significance level ...

Method: The foliar micromorphological parameters such as orientation, stomatal types and morphology; density, distribution of trichomes and stomata; stomatal index and trichome types, paradermal sections were obtained manually by the standard method. The leaves were excised and fixed primarily in formalin, acetic acid and ethyl alcohol solution; cleared in 70% ethanol, bleached with 5% NaOH and...

Soil degradation is a growing challenge to global agriculture and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This has prompted calls for less use of mineral fertilizer greater reliance on organic fertilizers. However, we need understand better long-term effects usage soil structure guide management practice, as many functions are sensitive pore morphology connectivity. In this st...

The cosmopolitan genus Carex L. represented about 1,800-2,000 species mainly in temperate and cold regions of the world. 49 species of Carex found in North-eastern India and 33 species in the rest part of India. Systematics of different taxa (subgenera, sections species pairs etc.) of the genus is quite complicated. In Carex, utricle morphology and fruit epidermal silicabodies have been used to...
