This study conducted in Aljabal alakhdar (Green Mountain), Derna, Libya. It is the only wet region Like other Mediterranean forests, it exposed to risk of fires. To assist this, two different geographical units from (coastal and mountain), which been burned at times; identify whether these soils are regaining their pre-burn status over time. The studied properties were: soil clay content, organ...

The presence and concentration of mineral nutrients and organic acids were analyzed in root xylem sap of mature beech trees (Fagus sylvatica L.). An interdependence between malate concentration, pH, and calcium and magnesium concentrations was observed. Significant correlations were found between low pH values and high calcium and magnesium concentrations, low pH values and high malate concentr...

Young bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) containing root-absorbed (45)Ca and (86)Rb were leached to determine the pathway and mechanism of cation loss by leaching. Calcium is leached from the exchangeable calcium fraction within the plant by a process of ion exchange and diffusion involving exchange sites both within the leaf and on the leaf surface. Leaching of cations is primarily a passive pro...

To identify the main soil properties influencing dynamics of iron in agricultural land use activities south-east Côte d'Ivoire, samples were taken from fields rubber, rice and natural forest, plots block B29. The concentrations soils determined by atomic emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma, physical chemical characteristics (pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, assimilable phos...

An understanding of the interaction mechanisms between exchangeable cations and layered silicates is of interest from both a basic and an applied point of view. Among 2:1 phyllosilicates, a new family of swelling high-charge synthetic micas has been shown to be potentially useful as decontaminant. However, the location of the interlayer cations, their acidity and the water structure in the inte...

introduction cadmium is one of the most important environmental pollutants that can be resulted from different ways. it can easily contaminate soil and water resources. since phosphate ions for stable complexes are available with cations such as pb and cd, so it can cause a decrease in the solubility and mobility of heavy metals in soil. liming is the most widely used treatment that leads to pr...

the effect of european black alder (alnus glutinosa l.) on the contents of carbon and nitrogen,exchangeable base cations, and plant available forms of phosphorus in the reclaimed mine soils formed bywaste deposition from opencast lignite mines was researched in central serbia. it was concluded that thegreatest part of dead organic residues reaching the soil under european black alder monocultur...
