studying the ecology of halophyte plant species provides useful information for reclamation and managements of arid and semiarid rangelands. this research was implemented as a pot experiment in which seeds of three rangeland species (erotiaceratoides, agropyrndesertorum, and salsolaarbusculiformis) were sown in the soil taken from understory of salsola or from the open spaces. soil samples were...

Aims Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key component of water balance and is closely linked to ecosystem productivity. In arid regions, large proportion of precipitation (PPT) is returned to the atmosphere through ET, with only a small amount available to plants. Our objective was to examine the variability in ET–soil water relationship based on a set of ecosystems that are representative for semi-a...

One of the methods for the improvement of soil against the tensile stresses is using the artificial supplements in soil such as metal belts or nets, polymer materials and natural fibers. Technically this method is called the reinforced of soil.  When a pavement is located on soft soil, great deformations can occur as a result of the crossing of traffic load in superstructure layers of the body....

climate changes and global warming are considered as very important challenges of sustainable development. carbon sequestration is the easiest and cheapest way to reduce the greenhouse gases, especially carbon which constitutes the largest portion of them. in the present study, the potential of carbon sequestration in four plant species of atriplex canescens, haloxylon persicum, artemisia siebe...

Soil contamination level with 239+240Pu of Lublin region was determined using the alpha spectrometric method. Results were compared with similar data from the study performed 15 year earlier. Decrease in total 239+240Pu concentration and reducing quantity of Chernobyl fraction (up to almost negligible value of 1 %) has been observed in upper soil layer. Determination of 239+240Pu concentration ...
