the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reforestation on physical and chemical soil properties particularly soil carbon storage in the berenjastanak forest. forestations were including acer velotinum boiss., fraxinus excelsior l., populus nigra l. and pinus brutia ten. a witness forest with mixed species was selected as region potential. four soil profiles were drilled in each fo...

This research aimed to determine the soil seed bank and its relationship with environmental factors that have an influence in the distribution of the vegetation above the ground in an excluded area of natural grassland in the South of Brazil. Most of the 122 identified species in the seed bank were perennials. Data analysis indicated three distinct community groups, according to the size and co...

physicochemical and mechanical properties of wheat grains can have a great impact on the quality of the final products (bread). therefore, correct selection of wheat cultivar for specific applications seems to be crucial. in this study, the differences in the physicochemical and mechanical properties (under compression and impact loadings) of ten iranian wheat cultivars (azar2, alamut, bam, bah...

Construction of railway embankments on loose beds without using any methods of soil improvement (e.g. stone columns in silt and clay beds, deep soil mixing method, jet grouting and also using micropiles individually or in groups form) leads to  reduction of embankment slope gradient, which significantly increases the volume of soil operation. Generally, micropile as a reinforcing element with t...

in this research, old magazine (omg) recycled fiber and glass fiber (gf) were mixed at different levels of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (based on weight) with two levels of 50% and 60% polypropylene (pp) and then the produced composites evaluated compared to those from net polypropylene. on the basis of obtained results from normalization equations in different treatments done, two treatments has been...
