introduction: p in soils exists in many complex chemical forms, which differ markedly in their behavior, mobility and resistance to bioavailability in the soils. the total p content of a soil provides little information regarding the behavior of p in the environment. the various forms of p present to a large degree, determine the fate and transport of p in soils. fractionation schemes using dif...

Cultivated land quality is an essential agricultural resource and production element. To increase cultivated in a targeted way, it crucial to understand the features of regional elements that constrain its quality. In order diagnose restriction factors affecting improvement grades conduct quantitative analysis factors, index model was used this study analyze distribution characteristics East An...

This review summarises the knowledge about the ecology, breeding and management of hybrid aspen (Populus wettsteinii Hämet-Ahti P. tremula L. P. tremuloides Michx.). The review is restricted mainly to Northern Europe, where hybrid aspen has been most intensively studied and cultivated and where it has proved to be one of the fastest-growing hardwoods, suitable for the production of pulpand ener...

Remote Sensing Application Centre (RSAC) has been working on monitoring the main crop cultivated areas as operational task and research project for several years.The main problems is that the time and features of background data used in sampling maybe produce system errors. The sampling method called stratified sampling adopted by RSAC is also used in this study. But there is an important diffe...

Since the implementation of market oriented economic reform in 1978, China has been on the track of rapid urbanization.
