Taking the slope of Suiyu Railway to study, the research separately studied soil resistivity, soil electrochemistry (corrosion potential, oxidization reduction potential, electric potential gradient and pH), soil anions (total soluble salt, Cl(-), SO4(2-) and ), and soil nutrition (moisture content, organic matter, total nitrogen, alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, available phosphorus, and availabl...

abstract various resistances to salinity are due to plants genetically variations, and selection on the basis of one factor will not be a suitable criterion in measurement of resistance to salinity, therefore in choosing resistant varieties, it is necessary to notice to a set of resistant indexes to salinity, creating changes in physiology, anatomy and morphology of plant species. this research...

in our previous work, the effect of use of a water soluble cdi/nhs system as nontoxic cross-linking agent on fabrication of gelatin nanoparticles was investigated. in this research, the effect of variation in some synthetic parameters of gelatin nanoparticles cross-linked by cdi/nhs system such as type of gelatin and formulation of cross- linking agent on their size and distribution was examine...

High levels of phosphorus and pathogens in runoff are 2 major concerns following manure applications to fields. Phosphorus losses from fields following manure applications have been linked to the solubility of phosphorus in manure; therefore, by decreasing manure phosphorus solubility, a decrease in phosphorus loss in runoff should be apparent. The objective of this research was to develop a pr...

The accumulation of excess soil phosphorus (P) in watersheds under intensive animal production has been linked to increases in dissolved P concentrations in rivers and streams draining these watersheds. Reductions in water dissolved P concentrations through very strong P sorption reactions may be obtainable after land application of alum-based drinking water treatment residuals (WTRs). Our obje...

in order to investigate the effect of domestic wastewater and normal water (well water) on soil chemical properties and alfalfa yield, a research project was conducted for three years in chahartakhteh research station. the experiment was performed in randomized complete blocks design including four treatments in three replications. treatments were as follows: t1: irrigation with normal water at...

A general assumption about the geochemical behavior of phosphorus (P) is that it exists exclusively in +5 oxidation as phosphate. However, extremely reducing environments, other states such +3 may also be stable. Such environments—if prevalent globally—may determine planetary habitability, which part governed by nutrient availability, including availability element phosphorus. Here we show a ro...

[1] A recurrent coastal sediment plume (RCP) is an episodic event in the southern basin of Lake Michigan that typically coincides with the spring diatom bloom. Strong winter storm activity during El Niño conditions in 1998 resulted in a large and intense RCP event. Consistently higher values of the light-saturated rate of photosynthesis, Pmax B , were observed in spring 1998 compared to 1999 an...

Lake Balaton has undergone rapid eutrophication in the last decades causing dramatic deterioration water quality. Although quality been successfully improved, significant algal blooms have experienced over past years again. Since high level of phosphorus is primarily responsible for blooms, it necessary to explore status nutrient content lake sediment. In this study, a 100 m resolution map was ...

Sulfur, organic matter, and inoculation with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are considered as amendments to increase the availability of phosphorus from rock phosphate. The present study was conducted to evaluate the best combination of sulfur, vermicompost, and Thiobacillus thiooxidans inoculation with rock phosphate from Yazd province for direct application to agricultural lands in Iran. For such ...
