organic matter and its related soil properties are among the most important indicators of soil quality. despite the importance of soil organic carbon, no comprehensive study has been done on organic carbon changes in soils of the isfahan province. the objective of this research was to investigate factors affecting soil organic carbon in soils of this province. a total of 248 surface soil sample...

to day, the activated carbon is being used to treat the industrial and domestic wastewaters. the suitability of activated carbon for treatment of industrial wastewaters can be quickly predicted by consideration of wastewater characteristics. the results of this paper represent a first step in determining suitability of activated carbon for treatment of wastewaters or effluent of treatment plant...

this work investigates the effect of the application rate and type of sludge throughout the soilcarbon cycle in a semiarid mediterranean agro-ecosystem. we study the two-year evolution of the variouspools of soil organic and inorganic carbon and their influence on soil respiration. we applied three rates (40, 80 and 160 mg/ha) of two types of sludge –aerobically and anaerobically digested sewag...

in a semiarid region of central iran, effects of parent materials, physiography and landscape position, land use, andmanagement practices on association of organic carbon with secondary (aggregates) particles and aggregate stability canhave important consequences in terms of carbon sequestration and budgeting, deciding on the proper land use strategy andsuitable soil conservation practices. it ...
