(Received: November 27, 2010; Accepted: February 9, 2011) Abstract: The effect of pig iron slag particles on soil physico-chemical, biological and certain soil enzyme properties was studied. Contamination of iron slag particles altered physico-chemical, biological and enzyme properties of soil. While soil pH increased slightly, electrical conductivity, carbon, potassium and phosphorus contents ...

India. treatments consist 1stfortnight June,2ndfortnight J...

Kooch Y, SM Hosseini, Hojjati SM, Fallah A. 2013. Variability of soil physical indicators imposed by beech and hornbeam individual trees in a local scale. Biodiversitas 14: 25-30. The objective of our study was to determine if soil physical indicators could be related to the influence of the individual trees in stands of mixed species growing on steep slopes in the Hyrcanian forests of Iran. Re...

In order to evaluate the influence of ionic liquid 1butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl) on the soil micro-ecological system, the toxicity of [Bmim]Cl to soil microorganisms and its impact on soil physico-chemical properties were investigated. Three soil samples, which were taken from the rape land, nursery land and the broad bean land respectively, were used for this study. The toxici...

This experiment target measuring soil properties (pH, EC and OC), nutrient (N, P, K S) the correlation study between availability. Six different locations in Havalbag block, Almora district of Uttarakhand, were sampled for (0-15cm depth). Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium Sulphur examined using known conventional methods. Available Nitrogen was by alkaline KMnO4 method, extractable available CaC...

rainfed wheat is the main source of staple food for people in the developing countries. various factors contribute to and affect the production of this crop. the aim followed in the present study was to develop a model to estimate rainfed wheat grain yield as based on physico-chemical properties of the soil. therefore, wheat grain yield and soil physico-chemical properties were separately deter...

Urban green spaces provide ecosystem properties fundamental to the provision of ecosystem services, such as the sequestration of carbon and nutrients and serving as a reservoir for organic matter. Although, urban vegetation influences soil physico-chemical properties, it remains unknown whether ecosystem properties depend on plant species portfolios. We tested the influence of three common func...

Temperate and dry deciduous forest covers major portion of terrestrial ecosystem in India. The two forest types with different dominant tree species differ in litter quality and root exudates, thereby exerting species-specific impact on soil properties and microbial activity. This study aims to examine the influence of forest type or dominant tree species on soil physico-chemical properties and...
