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...

In common buildings the soil-structure-interaction (SSI) is governed by the elastic behavior of the building. The best conditions to see the soil effect predominate would be a dynamic rigid body movement of a massive building. For this reason measurements were carried out on an old anti-aircraft tower from World War II on typical Viennese soil conditions. The dynamic properties of the soil coul...

The surface soil organic C (SOC) concentration is a useful soil The dark color of soil is typically associated with high property to map soils, interpret soil properties, and guide fertilizer organic-matter concentration and high native fertility. and agricultural chemical applications.

J. D. M ollard Graduate Assistant, Joint Highway Research Project Purdue University Here are described the techniques and methods developed for mak­ ing a soil map of Montgomery County, Indiana, to be used for engi­ neering purposes. This work is an integral part of a current program to map the soils and drainage of the entire state from aerial photo­ graphs. These two mapping programs, which a...

flood water contains high amount of sediment affecting the fertility of the coarse grain alluvial fans and flood plains through increasing nutrients. in this study, the effects of the flood water spreading on the soil nutrients recovery were investigated during 10 years (2004-2014) at the poldasht flood spreading station of west azarbaijan in iran. flooded three upper strips were selected at th...
