The aim of this study was to analyze the economic losses from soil erosion and compaction in relationship to agriculture in Albania. On-site effects of these two degradative processes affect farmers directly through reducingproductionand increasingthe costsof farming. Calculation ofeconomic losses was performed by using the replacement and lost production methods.

Composted organic materials used to stabilize roadside embankments in Texas promote rapid revegetation of soils disturbed by construction activities. Yet, adding compost to soil may increase total and soluble plant nutrients available for loss in runoff water. Composted municipal biosolids and dairy manure products were applied to soils in Texas according to prescribed Texas Department of Transportation specifications for stabilizing roadside soils. The specifications included a method for incorporating compost into soils prior to seeding or applying a compost and woodchip mix over a disturbed

A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different factors on ammonia volatilization losses in flooded alkali soils (ESP 26 & 82). Incubation studies in these soils showed that the losses were largely governed by pH/alkalinity of the system. The duration of presubmergence decreased the cumulative ammonia volatilization losses from 19.2 to 13.5 per cent in ESP 26 soil and 22.5 to 16.0 per cent in ESP 82 soil at 0.5 and 10 cm floodwater depths, respectively. Flooding of the soil decreased the soil pH resulting in lower losses from 23.9 to 16.9 per cent in ESP 26 soil and 27

The corresponding values for chemical fallow were 18–28, 24–51, and 69–98 kgN∙ha−1. In both tillage systems, gaseous N losses increased in the order of upper < middle < lower slope positions and were associated with the variations in soil moisture.

The NH3 volatilization, N2O emission, and N content in the soils were measured throughout the incubation period.

Abstract:
Traditional agricultural practices often result in gaseous losses of nitrous oxide (N2O), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2), representing a net loss of nutrients from agricultural soils, which negatively impacts crop yield and requires farmers to increase nutrient inputs. By adopting best management practices (BMPs; i.e., no-tillage, cover crops, sub-surface manure application, and proper manure application timing), there is great potential to reduce these losses. Because N2O and CO2 are also greenhouse gases (GHGs), climate change mitigation via BMP adoption and emissions reductions wou

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most essential mineral nutrients often limiting the productive capacity of terrestrial ecosystems. This nutrient is available in different chemical forms in soil which are mostly transformed from one to another through microbially mediated processes. However, the growth and activity of these microbes are often constrained by the availability of phosphorus (P) which is required for the synthesis of their genetic and cellular components, metabolism and energy transfer. Little is known about how P availability affects microbial processes responsible for N transformation

No specific environmental issues arise from K losses to the wider environment, and so they have received little attention.

Also, because K is bound to clays and organic materials, and adsorbed K is mostly associated with fine soil particles, it can be eroded with particulate material in runoff water and by strong winds. It can also be lost when crop residues are burned in the open. Losses represent a potenti

Climate change manifest itself as increased natural disturbances. These effects can be reduced by planting adapted forest reproductive material. Such plantation ensure the source of raw material for bioeconomy, but are affected by dendrophagous insects, including pine weevil (Hylobius abietis). This species is estimated to cause 120 million EUR financial losses annually. Untreated coniferous seedlings have very high mortality, therefore pesticides are applied in nurseries, before delivering the plants to forest. Use of pesticides is have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore several

Abstract In a previous investigation, AC corrosion rate data generated from weight loss experiments was compared with the results from a model for AC corrosion that was developed using a modified Butler-Volmer approach. The model considered the anodic and cathodic Tafel slopes, diffusion limited oxygen transport, interfacial capacitance and solution resistance. Both experimental and model results highlighted the importance of the interfacial capacitance on the rate of AC corrosion, especially at a frequency of 60Hz. In the present work, an extension of this finding is presented to investigate

Between September 13th and 16th, 2024, heavy rainfall led to widespread flooding across the municipalities in the Senica district, as well as significant soil erosion on intensively farmed arable land. According to data from the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMU), the Senica district received a total of 230 millimeters of precipitation during this period. In the village of Smolinske, located in the lowlands of Zahorie in western Slovakia, experienced substantial flooding of agricultural areas, leading to considerable surface and gully erosion across many agricultural parcels.

Abstract To assess and mitigate dynamic DC stray currents occurring on cathodically protected steel pipelines, the EN ISO 21857 standard was published in 2021. In this laboratory study, X70 steel ER probes buried in artificial soils under cathodic protection were submitted to anodic direct current influences. The impact on corrosion kinetics of anodic influences conditions was evaluated: triangular vs rectangular shape, anodic current densities from 0,1 to 10 A/m2, anodic period between 5 and 1800 s, and total anodic interference duration in one day from 0,5 to 10h.

Abstract:
Abstract Above-ground storage tank bottoms are subject to corrosion. The tank bottoms have been protected from corrosion by several methods, including oil sand, asphalt sand or impressed current cathodic protection. The insulating property of the oil and asphalt supposes to stop corrosion; however, the effectiveness of this approach has been questioned due to corrosion failure resulting from insufficient dielectric protection. Impressed current CP electrochemically stops the corrosion on the tank plates in contact with sand or soil underneath. However, it cannot protect the plate once it loses

Abstract:
A major goal in Israeli and U.S. agroecosystems is to maximize nitrogen availability to crops while minimizing nitrogen losses to air and water resources. This goal has presented a significant challenge to global agronomists and scientists because crops require large inputs of nitrogen (N) fertilizer to maximize yield, but N fertilizers are easily lost to surrounding ecosystems where they contribute to water pollution and greenhouse gas concentrations. Determination of the optimum N fertilizer input is complex because the amount of N produced from soil organic matter varies with time, space an

The stated objectives in the original proposal were to develop a conceptual framework for analyzing intra-season timing of water application rates with implications for crop and irrigation technology selection. We proposed to base the analysis on an intra-seasonal, dynamic, agro-economic model of plants' water demand, paying special attention to contamination of groundwater and soil in intensively cultivated areas that increasingly rely on water of lesser quality.

The objective of this one-year project was to show whether a significant correlation can be established between the decreasing infiltration rate of the soil, during simulated rainstorm, and a following increase in the reflectance of the crusting soil. The project was supposed to be conducted under laboratory conditions, using at least three types of soils from each country. The general goal of this work was to develop a method for measuring the soil infiltration rate in-situ, solely from the reflectance readings, using a spectrometer.

Plus, information is available on in-season N topdressing applications as a means of improving GPC. However, the vast majority of research has focused on wheat that is grown under N limiting conditions in sub-humid regions and irrigated fields.
