introduction: spatial variation of soil properties is significantly influenced by numerous environmental factors such as landscape features, including position, topography, slope gradient and aspect, parent material, climate and vegetation. soil properties vary spatially in south- and north-facing hill slopes. this factor (different slope aspects) can affect the distribution of soil organic mat...

Abstract This paper is the first to use an innovative multi-proxy approach obtain insights into hitherto unknown Mithraic cult practices. Using soil micromorphology, zooarchaeology and histotaphonomy, we investigated two mithraea (Biesheim FR, Kempraten CH) one cave (Zillis CH). was also study include micromorphological histotaphonomic approaches within context of research. The systematic evalu...

Despite the ecosystem functioning they provide, termite pedoturbation along toposequence is overlooked in genesis of semiarid soils. Therefore, we aimed to describe morphological and physicochemical properties that lead classification termite-mediated In this study, representative pedons, one on each slope class, were described classified for five different topographical positions, soil genetic...

 In this study, the palynology of 33 species of Silene belonging to 15 sections was investigated to examine the correspondence between palynology, morphological sections and phylogenetic trees. The pollen grains were prepared using the acetolysis method. Quantitative and qualitative micromorphological features of pollens were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy....

Achillea clypeolata Sibth. & Sm. is Balkan endemic species, commonly known as yellow yarrow and traditionally used in Bulgarian folk medicine. The purpose of this study was to establish pharmacognostical profile of A. clypeolata, including macroscopic and microscopic morphological characteristics. The study also aims to propose a method for micromorphological investigation and pharmacognostical...
