Afforestation, as a tool to mitigate carbon emission is constrained by available land areain several countries, but Iran has the potential of plantation. In doing so, differences in soilstocks between tree species could give an indication of the effects of future managementchanges. Hence, a better understanding of tree species traits on soil properties is required topredict how changes in ecosy...

Objective: Soil temperature serves as a key variable in hydrological investigations to determine soil moisture content as well as hydrological balance in watersheds. The ingoing research aims to shed lights on potential of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and Neuro-Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to simulate soil temperature at 5-100 cm depths. To satisfy this end, climatic and...

the present study was carried out during a one year period in 2012-2013 in order to investigation of seasonal density and diversity of diplopoda in a hyrcanian forest (semeskandeh forest) in northern iran. for these purpose, some forest soil sampling were done in two mounth intervals and the samples were collected from leaf litter (ol,f,h), the 0-3 cm and 3-6 cm of soil layer (ah). a total of 7...

irrigation management, soil tillage method and fertilizer management play important roles in increasing crop yield and water and solute movement in the soil profile. the present research was conducted to study the effects of a no-tillage system and nitrogen fertilizer on the mineral nitrogen movement and soil moisture under optimum irrigation conditions. the study was conducted at safiabad agri...

the objective of this work was to study the effects of tillage and liquid manure applications on some physical and chemical properties as well as on the carbon and nitrogen mineralization potential of a meadow soil. our results indicated that tillage and manure applications had no effect on the concentration of cu, mn, total n and organic c in 0-15 cm layer of soil after 15 years of treatment. ...

the studies carried out over 2010-13 involved a static field experiment initiated in 1999 at brody research station of the poznan university of life science, poland. the soil tillage systems for winter wheat were compared on a soil classified as albic luvisols. the aim of experiments was to evaluate impact of ploughless soil tillage on some soil physical, chemical, biological properties and win...
