The scale of the impact of petroleum products on the natural environment is still difficult to determine. This is why it was decided to conduct tests, under the conditions of a pot experiment, for the effects of diesel oil (0, 4, and 8 mL/kg dry matter of soil) on the yield of oat, content of macroelements, as well as the microbiological, biochemical, physicochemical and chemical properties of ...

Metal pollution can affect soil microbial communities, and vegetation potentially influences this relationship. It can, for example, modify the toxicity of metal to soil microbes by controlling its input to the ground or by altering soil physicochemical properties. This study examined metal effects on soil respiration, potentially active microbial biomass (SIR) and catabolic abilities of cultur...

Agricultural sustainability has become a major concern in arid regions of China. In order to better understand the influence of continuous cropping on soil quality, six experimental fields were established in the Alar Oasis of Xinjiang, including uncultivated land (as a zero year treatment duration) and five different continuous cropping years on cotton fields, with different cropping durations...

an important part of carbon cycling is carried out in the soil making land use changes, including changes in forestlands, affect soc storage and consequently co2 flux into the atmosphere.the aims followed in this investigation were to study the impacts of conversion of deciduous forests to coniferous ones and deforested land to rangelands, on some of the soil physicochemical properties, organic...

In Asia, more than 2000 million people obtain their 60–70% calories from a wide variety of rice cultivars and its products (Lin et al. 2011). The chemical composition of rice grain varies widely, depending on variety, soil and environment. Brown rice is the name given to dehusked paddy which retains the embryo and bran layers of the grain. Brown rice is rich in fibres, minerals, vitamins and ph...

Many processes affect the behavior of pesticides in the environment, namely adsorption, transfer, breakdown and degradation. Adsorptiondesorption are a dynamic process in which molecules are continually transferred between the bulk liquid and solid surface. Adsorptiondesorption of pesticides in soils depend upon various factors like soil pH, CEC, clay content, organic matter and metal oxides. T...

samanoo is a traditional iranian dessert that has a high nutritional value. its consumption is on the rise.samanoo is made using a mixture of wheat sprout extract (wheat malt) and whole wheat flour. it is mainlyprepared at home or at in small businesses and there is no standard method of preparation. this studyinvestigates the effects of wheat cultivar (hirmand and tabasi) and the ratio of whea...

This study was conducted to analyze the properties of deposit soil dredged from a reservoir which was processed for efficient treatment and management. Before starting this study, the physicochemical properties and the heavy metal content of the deposit soil were investigated to collect the fundamental data. In a treatment experiment proposed to use the deposit soil, the deposit soli was separa...
