The wetlands on the quartz sands aeolian sheet make up one of ecosystems most recognized and important Doñana National Park Biological Reserve (South Spain). More than 650 temporal small-lakes have been surveyed in abundant sand depressions sheet, are a hydro-geomorphological dune-small-lake system. This paper studies pedological diversity around Navazo del Toro (NVT) wetland, biggest small-lak...

Backscatter measured by scatterometers and Synthetic Aperture Radars is sensitive to the dielectric properties of soil normally increases with increasing moisture content. However, when dry, radar waves penetrate deeper into soil, potentially sensing subsurface scatterers such as near-surface rocks stones. In this paper we propose an exponential model describe impact on C-Band backscatter measu...

Producing manure-based fertilizers (MBFs) with specific nutrient ratios is a solution to overpassing the imbalance of nitrogen and phosphorus in manures, way recycle manure’s nutrients, promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Several MBFs different tailored N:P (0.5:1, 1:1 2:1) were produced determine their agronomic value pot experiment oat (0.5:1 ratio: cattle manure pig slurry (CaM+PiS...

The search for sustainable land use has increased in Brazil due to the important role that agriculture plays in the country. Soil detailed classification is related with texture attribute. How can one discriminate the same soil class with different textures using proximal soil sensing, as to reach surveys, land use planning and increase crop productivity? This study aims to evaluate soil textur...

Background, Aims, and Scope. Historically, built areas were ignored in soil mapping and in studies of soil formation and behaviour. It is now recognized that these areas, and therefore their soils, are of prime importance to human populations. Another trend is the large increase in reclaimed lands and new uses for old industrial areas. In several countries there are active projects to map such ...

Arid and semi-arid lands occupy currently 88% of arable land mass in Kenya, a region with significant diversity production systems economic opportunities. However, these areas are characterised by low erratic rainfall, hence challenges to agriculture socioeconomic development the wake an increasing population impacts climate change. This review seeks identify key opportunities associated manage...

Abstract The erosion of soil is one the most difficult and ongoing problems caused by deforestation, improper cultivation, uncontrolled grazing, other anthropogenic activities. As a result, assessing level quantity essential for agricultural productivity natural resource management. Thus, goal this study was to quantify loss rates identify hotspot locations in Tashat watershed, Abay basin, Ethi...

The present study was performed for the ecotoxicity assessment of bismuth (Bi) effect on biological indicators soil condition: total number bacteria, catalase activity, dehydrogenases activity and germination Radish seeds length roots. Three types with significantly different resistance ability to heavy metal pollution were studied: Haplic Chernozems Calcic, Arenosols Eutric Cambisols Eutric.So...
