using of different systems of soil plough after changing unconsciously and non-scientific of land use, other soil physical and chemical characteristics affected. this fact, especially in marginal lands and mountainous regions is more visible. this research compared with the purpose of studying land use changing on some soil physical and chemical characters like very tiny sand percent, ph, ec, c...

Analysis of 171 samples taken from the Neogene cohesive soils of the Southeastern edge of the Granada basin shows inverse correlation between carbonate content and dispersion index and swelling behaviour and direct correlations between carbonate content and shear strength. This paper shows that carbonate content and clay fraction activity have a great influence on the compaction characteristics...

-Well-characterized American Petroleum Institute clay standards, source clays from The Clay Minerals Society, and other secondary minerals were used to determine the effects of U concentration, temperature, and solution composition on U-sorption properties. Uranium concentrations ranged from about 1.00 x 10 -4 M to 4.00 x 10 7 M, temperatures from 5 ~ to 65~ and solution compositions containing...

ÐThe influence of clay preparation procedure on sorption and hydrolysis of carbaryl (1-naphthyl, N-methyl carbamate) by the reference smectite SWy-2 was examined. For research purposes, reference clays are sometimes used without purification, or more commonly, the <2 mm size fraction is obtained by gravity sedimentation or low-speed centrifugation. We determined that these common methods did no...

In the unglaciated parts of Southwestern Wisconsin, buried Terra Rossas are commonly found. These clayey, red soils are buried by loess and mainly found on ridges underlain by limestone. They have been eroded during periglacial climates. The red clay has implications for groundwater recharge as well as lateral flow through the landscape. This project focusses on a 50 km2 watershed where some 40...

Accretionary carbonate spherules of small size are a common component of distal Chicxulub impact ejecta deposits and are documented at Brazos River, Texas, and Bass River, New Jersey, located about 1000 km and 2500 km respectively from the crater. This spherule type is also present in northeast Mexico and is related to accretionary carbonate lapilli present in proximal Chicxulub ejecta deposits...

abstract in order to study the chemical behavior of nickel and cadmium in the presence of organic matter, an experiment with two different soils (4 and 30 percent caco3), two different texture (8 and 40 percent clay), two levels of nickel (0 and 100 mg.kg-1), two levels of cadmium (0 and 25 mg.kg-1) and organic matter in the form of sewage sludge in two levels (0 and 100 t. ha-1), at three time...

Geochemical models for Mars predict carbonate formation during aqueous alteration. Carbonate-bearing rocks had not previously been detected on Mars' surface, but Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mapping reveals a regional rock layer with near-infrared spectral characteristics that are consistent with the presence of magnesium carbonate in the Nili Fossae region. The carbonate is closely associated w...

in this study argillic horizons in calcareous soils of a semiarid region, with xeric and mesic soil moisture and temperature regimes, in the west of urmia lake were studied. thus, a toposequence in different physiographic positions including piedmont plains, plateau, hills and mountains was investigated. in each land type, three soil profiles were dug and described and their morphological prope...
