INTRODUCTION Plant microbial fuel cells (P-MFCs), and more general sediment microbial fuel cells, make use of electricigenic metabolism of microorganisms in anoxic soils and sediments. Electricigenic microorganisms are able to respire organic carbon from the soil or sediment with an electrode as final electron acceptor [1]. In this work, the focus is on the anode buried in the sediment, the ele...

DOI:10.17014/ijog.9.2.159-172 Ultic is the so il characteristics in soil taxonomy when argillic or kandic horizon found within depth of 125 cm with base saturation less than 35 % on overall upper 50 cm. The purpose this research to investigate whether ultic was developing from Pleistocene eruption Mount Tilu (basaltic parent materials), West Java, Indonesia. method used descriptive and comparat...

Contributions in biogeochemical research have immensely benefited humankind, including enhanced Food production and the quality of our environment. This overview paper focuses on recent breakthroughs in elucidating biogeochemical processes in soils and other natural materials and delineates frontiers for the present decade and beyond. Frontiers will undoubtedly involve multiple spatial and temp...

Site geology: The geology of the Oak Park site is one of limestone-drift materials overlying regional limestone-bedrock (over which two broad groups of soils occur: light-textured gravelly soils derived from limestone, and more heavy-textured soils derived from till). The soil underlying Miscanthus-plantations used in the experiments the former type, with a perched clay/subsoil layer under the ...

The MOx instrument was developed to characterize the reactive nature of the martian soil. The objectives of MOx were: (1) to measure the rate of degradation of organics in the martian environment; (2) to determine if the reactions seen by the Viking biology experiments were caused by a soil oxidant and measure the reactivity of the soil and atmosphere: (3) to monitor the degradation, when expos...

Herbicide efficacy and environmental fate are often controlled by s(il conditions. Aerobic soil laboratory studies were mndertaken to determiine the degradation of the herbicide cloransulam-metliyl IN. (2-carboinethoxy.6-chloro-phenyl)-5-ethoxy-7-fluoroI ,2,41triazolo 115-lpyrimndine-2-sulfonaimdel for a range of soil factors. Ireat. ments included soil temperature (5, Ls, 25, 40, and 508i), mo...

The soil family was developed in the 1960s as fourth level of taxa within hierarchical structure Canadian System Soil Classification. original aim category to provide a framework for checking and establishing limits series while providing link between subgroup level. Its intended use define group numerous based on characteristics important purpose applying appropriate management practices. In c...
