a significant relationship was found between soluble P loss in runoff and soil test P. Eghball and Gilley (2001) Soils with high levels of P can contribute to excess P in runoff and found that erosion was the most important factor in subsequently pollute the surface water. Excess P in the soil can be removed from the system by harvesting crops. The objectives of this loss of total and particula...

residue management has a direct impact on soil physical and chemical characteristics which in turn have identical effects on sustainability of crop production in agroecosystems. the effects of wheat residual management practices (burning, plowing under and removal) on soil physical and chemical characteristics were investigated in this research. treatments were compared in a complete block desi...

Factorial combinations of soil compaction and organic matter removal were replicated at the Long Term Site Productivity study in the Croatan National Forest, near New Bern, North Carolina, USA. Ten years after planting, 18 preselected loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees were destructively harvested to quantify treatment effects on total aboveand below-ground tree biomass and to detect any chan...

background: groundwater nitrate pollution is an important environmental problem in water resources management. in this regard, specific measures aiming at prevention of water pollution will be helpful to managers and decision-makers. identification of aquifers’ vulnerable areas and determination of groundwater protection zones using most widely used models, such as drastic and cd, are one of th...

An aquifer model system was established to examine and delineate the presence, fate and transport of nonaqueous-phase liquid (NAPL) contaminants. The system consists of six independent channels with identical dimensions. The channels were constructed with steel bottoms, side panels, and end panels. Trichloroethylene (TCE) was selected as a representative compound to model NAPL groundwater conta...

In this study, an integrated two-stage soil infiltration bioreactor incorporated with pyrite-based (mixotrophic) denitrification (SIBPD) was designed for domestic wastewater treatment. Benefited from excellent adsorption ability and water-permeability, soil infiltration could avoid clogging, shorten operating time and lower maintenance cost. Respiration and nitrification were mostly engaged in ...

This research describes the goals, design and implementation of a quasi natural gradient, laboratory scale, sand tank (aquifer) model experiment. The model was used to study the transport of an inorganic tracer (Chloride) in groundwater, within a tropical aquifer (porous medium) material. Three-dimensional sand tank (1.8 m × 0.3 m × 0.8 m) experiments were conducted to investigate contaminant t...
