plants have noticeable effects on soil resources distribution and its biochemical processes, and organic materials are naturally much more in the understory soil as compared to open areas. vegetation as one of the soil formation factors is not always an independent variable, so that the soil and vegetation can have interaction. the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of hedys...

abstractin order to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and humic acid on quantitative and qualitative traits of sod turf, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was established in research farm in shahrekord university. treatments were vermicompost (zero, 5, 10 and 15 v/v percent) and humic acid (zero, 150 and 250 g/m2), respectively. some traits s...

Chopped wheat straw, containing increasing amounts of added water was treated with a constant level of ammonia (3.3 percent of straw dry matter) as ammonium hydroxide, and stored for I to 60 days before determing in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVD MD), nitrogen content and fiber-bound nitrogen (ADF-N) versus free ammonia nitrogen (NH3N) of the treated sample. The overall improvement (e.g., ...

background: in the recent years, eutrophication has become a serious challenge for many of the water ecosystems. it has affected the environmental and economical aspects of the anzali wetland, which is known as one of the significant ecosystem. due to the increase of the nutrient loadings from the industrial, agricultural and human activities, the wetland’s health is faced many serious problems...

the effect of full irrigation (fi), partial root-zone drying at two levels (receiving 75 percent of et (prd75), 55 percent of et (prd55)) and deficit irrigation treatments at the same levels (75 percent (di75) and 55 percent (di55)) under drip irrigation on nitrogen uptake and leaching in a maize field in sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university were carried out during years ...

During hot seasons the inlet temperature of Nitrogen increases, as a result compressor consumes more power for compressing a specific mass ratio of fluid and consequently total energy consumption of the compressor increases as well. In this research, a three stage centrifugal compressor with intercooler was modeled thermodynamically in order to decreases the energy consumption of the compressor...

Tailwater recovery systems (TWR) provide an excellent testbed for examining nutrient loading from agriculture non-point sources, such as pre-harvest rice (Oryza sativa L.) field drains, on receiving waters. In this study, the focus was to use continuous sampling of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3−-N) concentration, paired with discrete grab samples of water which were analyzed for total nitrogen and inor...

Prescribed burning is frequently used as a tool for restoration of plant communities, wildlife habitat improvement, and site preparation. We compared and contrasted the effects of four burning prescriptions on forest floor and fine fuels consumption, and nitrogen loss. The burning treatments included dry (DU) and mesic (MU) understory burns, stand replacement (SR) burning, and fell and burn (F ...
