The aim of the study was to determine the glycoproteins content (total glomalin (TG), easily extractable glomalin (EEG) and soil proteins related to glomalin (GRSP)) in soil under long-term monoculture of maize. Soil microbiological and biochemical properties, including microbial biomass and enzymatic activity were also assessed. The presence of total, easily-extractable glomalin and soil proteins related to glomalin was dependent on both the growth phase of the plant and tillage system. The highest content of glomalin was detected in the soils under maize in direct sowing and reduced tillage. The glomalin content was correlated with soil biological activity. The linear regression was observed between TG and GRSP content, but no linear relationship was found between GRSP and C<sub>org</sub>. The principal component analysis showed the strong correlations between the parameters of soil quality and biodiversity indicators. Selected indicators of soil microbial parameters explained 52.27% biological variability in soils.

Full textAbstract:
The soil biota consist of a large number and range of micro- and macro-organisms and are the living part of soils. They interact with each other and with plants, directly providing nutrition and other benefits. They regulate their own populations as well as those of incoming microorganisms by biological control mechanisms. Microorganisms are responsible for organic matter decomposition and for the transformations of organically bound nitrogen and minerals to forms that are available to plants. Their physical structure and products contribute significantly to soil structure. Management practices have a significant impact on micro- and macro-organism populations and activities. Stubble retention, an increasing trend in Australia, provides an energy source for growth and activity. Significant increases in the sizes and activities of microbial biomass, including heterotrophic microorganisms, cellulolytic microorganisms, nitrogen-fixing bacteria and nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria have been observed. In addition, increases in protozoa and meso- and macro-fauna have been seen. Stubble retention provides a means of maintaining or increasing organic matter levels in soils. The way in which stubbles are managed may impact further on the activities of the soil biota and may alter the population balance, e.g. bacterial:fungal ratios. In general, no-tillage results in a concentration of microorganisms closer to the soil surface and causes least disruption of soil structure compared with conventionally tilled soils. Some plant diseases increase with stubble retention and with no-tillage, particularly where the next crop is susceptible to the same disease as the previous crop. However, the general increase in microbial populations resulting from stubble retention can exclude pathogens through competitive inhibition and predatory and parasitic activity. Cropping sequences may be used to break disease cycles. Crop rotations that include legumes may provide additional nitrogen and stimulate mineralization processes. Coupled with no-tillage in stubble retention systems is an increased usage of herbicides to control weeds. Continued herbicide use has been shown to significantly depress some groups of microorganisms and some of their activities but, in Australia, little information is available about the effects of herbicides on microbial populations. Although we know that micro- and macro-organisms are vital in maintaining ecosystem function, our knowledge about them is still very limited. New techniques in molecular microbial ecology promise further advances. Much more detailed information about the effects of specific managements on the size and activities of populations is needed. Soils and their processes are extremely complex and, in order to develop appropriate management practices, integration of new and existing information is necessary. This is now being made possible through computer simulation modelling.

Abstract. Insufficient knowledge of the composition and variation of isoprenoid and branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in agricultural soils exists, despite of the potential effect of different management types (e.g. soil/water and redox conditions, cultivated plants) on GDGT distribution. Here, we determined the influence of different soil management types on the GDGT composition in paddy (flooded) and adjacent upland (non-flooded) soils, and if available also forest, bushland and marsh soils. To compare the local effects on GDGT distribution patterns, we collected comparable soil samples in various locations from tropical (Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines) and subtropical (China and Italy) sites. We found that differences in the distribution of isoprenoid GDGTs (iGDGTs) as well as of branched GDGTs (brGDGTs) are predominantly controlled by management type and only secondarily by climatic exposition. In general upland soil had higher crenarchaeol contents than paddy soil, which on the contrary was more enriched in GDGT-0. The GDGT-0 / crenarchaeol ratio was 3–27 times higher in paddy soil and indicates the enhanced presence of methanogenic archaea, which were additionally linked to the number of rice cultivation cycles per year (higher number of cycles was coupled with an increase in the ratio). The TEX86 values were 1.3 times higher in upland, bushland and forest soils than in paddy soils. In all soils brGDGT predominated over iGDGTs, with the relative abundance of brGDGTs increasing from subtropical to tropical soils. Higher BIT values in paddy soils compared to upland soils together with higher BIT values in soil from subtropical climates indicate effects on the amounts of brGDGT through differences in management as well as climatic zones. In acidic soil CBT values correlated well with soil pH. In neutral to alkaline soils, however, no apparent correlation but an offset between paddy and upland managed soils was detected, which may suggest that soil moisture may exert an additional control on the CBT in these soils. Lower MBT' values and calculated temperatures (TMC) in paddy soils compared to upland soils may indicate a management (e.g. enhanced soil moisture through flooding practises) induced effect on mean annual soil temperature (MST).

Soil surface roughness (SSR) and porosity were evaluated from soils located in two farms belonging to the Plant Breeding Institute of the University of Sidney. The sites differ in their soil management practices; the first site (PBI) was strip-tilled during early fall (May 2010), and the second site (JBP) was under power harrowed tillage at the end of July 2010. Both sites were sampled in mid-August. At each location, SSR was measured for three 1 m2subplots using shadow analysis. To evaluate porosity and aggregation, soil samples were scanned using X-ray computed tomography with 5 μm resolution. The results show a strong negative correlation between SSR and porosity, 20.13% SSR and 41.38% porosity at PBI versus 42.00% SSR and 18.35% porosity at JBP. However, soil images show that when soil surface roughness is higher due to conservation and soil management practices, the processes of macroaggregation and structural porosity are enhanced. Further research must be conducted on SSR and porosity in different types of soils, as they provide complementary information on the evaluation of soil erosion susceptibility.

In order to evaluate the impact of long-term agronomic management and intensive fertilization on the soil properties of Pachitea, this study was carried out. Five lots were taken from the province of Pachitea, representative soils of the type of management carried out in this agricultural context. A virgin or pristine soil as absolute control (SV), a soil with less than 20 years of traditional agriculture (SAT1), a soil with intensive fertilization for more than 40 years (SFI), a soil with traditional agriculture between 20-40 years (SAT2), a soil with organic fertilization for more than 40 years (SAO) and a forest soil (SB). Soil samples were taken f rom each 20 cm deep lot and all their physical and chemical properties were analyzed. The results were analyzed in a principal component analysis (PCA), analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis. The results showed that the agricultural use of the changes changed all the physical and chemical properties of the soil over time. The most sensitive characteristics were pH and organic matter (OM). The changeable acidity (AC) was explained by the presence of Aluminum (Al) and very little by hydrogen (H), suggesting that the degradation of soils is quite strong in this context.

Full textAbstract:
Exchangeable sodium and low salinity deteriorate the permeability of soils to air and water. The susceptibility of soils to sodicity and low salinity depend on both the inherent properties of the soils (e.g. texture, mineralogy, pH, CaCO3, sesquioxides, and organic matter content) and extrinsic, time-dependent properties (e.g. cultivation, irrigation method and wetting rate, antecedent water content, and the time since cultivation). Whereas the effect of inherent soil properties on the soil response to sodicity has been studied and modelled, especially under laboratory conditions, the effect of soil management on the physical response of soils to sodicity has been studied very little. Consequently our ability to predict the changes in soil permeability under field conditions is limited. Including the effect of management on the physical response of soils to sodicity and low salinity is the main challenge facing researchers, consultants, and farmers.

Abstract. Rice paddies constitute almost a fifth of global cropland and provide more than half of the world's population with staple food. At the same time, they are a major source of methane and therewith significantly contribute to the current warming of Earth's atmosphere. Despite their apparent importance in the cycling of carbon and other elements, however, the microorganisms thriving in rice paddies are insufficiently characterized with respect to their biomolecules. Hardly any information exists on human-induced alteration of biomolecules from natural microbial communities in paddy soils through varying management types (affecting, e.g., soil or water redox conditions, cultivated plants). Here, we determined the influence of different land use types on the distribution of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs), which serve as molecular indicators for microbial community structures, in rice paddy (periodically flooded) and adjacent upland (non-flooded) soils and, for further comparison, forest, bushland and marsh soils. To differentiate local effects on GDGT distribution patterns, we collected soil samples in locations from tropical (Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines) and subtropical (China and Italy) sites. We found that differences in the distribution of isoprenoid GDGTs (iGDGTs) as well as of branched GDGTs (brGDGTs) are predominantly controlled by management type and only secondarily by climatic exposition. In general, upland soil had higher crenarchaeol contents than paddy soil, which by contrast was more enriched in GDGT-0. The GDGT-0 ∕ crenarchaeol ratio, indicating the enhanced presence of methanogenic archaea, was 3–27 times higher in paddy soils compared to other soils and increased with the number of rice cultivation cycles per year. The index of tetraethers consisting of 86 carbons (TEX86) values were 1.3 times higher in upland, bushland and forest soils than in paddy soils, potentially due to differences in soil temperature. In all soils brGDGT predominated over iGDGTs with the relative abundance of brGDGTs increasing from subtropical to tropical soils. Higher branched vs. isoprenoid tetraether (BIT) values in paddy soils compared to upland soils together with higher BIT values in soils from subtropical climates indicated effects on the amounts of brGDGT induced by differences in management as well as climate. In acidic soils cyclization ratio of branched tetraethers (CBT) values correlated well with soil pH. In neutral to alkaline soils, however, no correlation but an offset in CBT between paddy and upland managed soils was detected. This is interpreted as indicating soil moisture exerting an additional control on the CBT in these soils. Lower modified methylation index of branched tetraether (MBT′) values and temperatures calculated from this (TMC) in paddy soils compared to upland soils are attributed to a management-induced (e.g. enhanced soil moisture via flooding) effect on mean annual soil temperature (MST).

AbstractThe Illinois Soil Quality Initiative (ISQI) is a multidisciplinary effort to develop accurate, practical, and meaningful measures of soil characteristics that farmers can incorporate in strategies to sustain soil resources over the long term. We discuss how the project integrates soils and social research and involves farmers and others in guiding its research activities. A board of farmers, farm managers and conservation agency personnel and a panel of soil scientists, agronomists, and social scientists established ISQI's goals and monitors its progress. ISQI technical staff gather data at 35 participating farms to assess the accuracy and practicality of several measures of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soils under varying tillage and environmental conditions. They communicate findings to farmers and the ISQI board through regional farmer meetings, a project newsletter, and statewide conferences. Participating farmers assess the measures' meaningfulness and practicality, suggest strategies for communicating soil quality information, and recommend new directions for research. These observations have been made at the end of ISQI's first year: definitions of and beliefs about soil quality vary widely, making it inadvisable to think of “soil quality” as a single, inclusive concept; farmers and other land managers want to understand better the relationships among soil qualities, productivity, and sustainability, and to ham how to enhance their soils' structural and biological characteristics; soil quality measures must be accompanied by research and education on how soil qualities are affected by management practices or systems and how they affect yields and the environment; many farmers are only mildly interested in self-administered soil quality measures, preferring instead to purchase such data from commercial sources.

Abstract. Intensification of smallholder agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa is necessary to address rural poverty and natural resource degradation. Integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) is a means to enhance crop productivity while maximizing the agronomic efficiency (AE) of applied inputs, and can thus contribute to sustainable intensification. ISFM consists of a set of best practices, preferably used in combination, including the use of appropriate germplasm, the appropriate use of fertilizer and of organic resources, and good agronomic practices. The large variability in soil fertility conditions within smallholder farms is also recognized within ISFM, including soils with constraints beyond those addressed by fertilizer and organic inputs. The variable biophysical environments that characterize smallholder farming systems have profound effects on crop productivity and AE, and targeted application of agro-inputs and management practices is necessary to enhance AE. Further, management decisions depend on the farmer's resource endowments and production objectives. In this paper we discuss the "local adaptation" component of ISFM and how this can be conceptualized within an ISFM framework, backstopped by analysis of AE at plot and farm level. At plot level, a set of four constraints to maximum AE is discussed in relation to "local adaptation": soil acidity, secondary nutrient and micronutrient (SMN) deficiencies, physical constraints, and drought stress. In each of these cases, examples are presented whereby amendments and/or practices addressing these have a significantly positive impact on fertilizer AE, including mechanistic principles underlying these effects. While the impact of such amendments and/or practices is easily understood for some practices (e.g. the application of SMNs where these are limiting), for others, more complex processes influence AE (e.g. water harvesting under varying rainfall conditions). At farm scale, adjusting fertilizer applications to within-farm soil fertility gradients has the potential to increase AE compared with blanket recommendations, in particular where fertility gradients are strong. In the final section, "local adaption" is discussed in relation to scale issues and decision support tools are evaluated as a means to create a better understanding of complexity at farm level and to communicate appropriate scenarios for allocating agro-inputs and management practices within heterogeneous farming environments.

ABSTRACT The Republic of Korea Government has adopted a whole-of-government approach in the management of naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) through a nationwide asbestos management plan. Regional and detailed mapping, and examination of NOA effects are still ongoing for NOA management by indoor air, noise and asbestos management division, Ministry of Environment. Plans by the Korea Rail Network Authority are under way to rebuild the Janghang double-track railway. The proposed Jannghang double-track railway route is through an area of high NOA probability that has serpentine and ultramafic rock. Chrysotile, tremolite, and actinolite asbestos were among the rocks identified within the project site (initial planning line and the operational design line). The level of asbestos in most soils was low (≤0.25 percent), while some soils contained 0.75 percent asbestos. Monitoring and analyses of air quality revealed below 0.01 fibers per cm3 (f/cc). However, there were no traces of asbestos detected in the groundwater and stream water. Despite the low asbestos content of the soil and rock, the disturbance of NOA-containing soils and rocks during railway construction could trigger the release of asbestos fibers into the air. NOA mitigation plans and measures are necessary for workers and residents during the construction of the railway.

Resumo: A caracterizacao da variabilidade espacial de atributos do solo de areas agricolas e uma tarefa importante, pois somada a influencia dos aspectos pedologicos temos uma grande contribuicao do manejo. Neste trabalho foi determinada a estrutura da variabilidade espacial da emissao de CO2, temperatura e umidade em Latossolo Vermelho eutroferrico em tres localidades sob cultivo da cana-de-acucar em sistemas de manejos de cana crua e de cana queimada, no nordeste do Estado de Sao Paulo. As maiores emissoes foram observadas no local sob manejo de cana queimada, num valor medio de 2,05 Êmol m-2 s-1, porem dependencia espacial na emissao de CO2 foi encontrada somente nas areas sob manejo de cana crua. Os modelos de semivariancia foram exponenciais, esfericos e gaussianos sendo a dependencia espacial classificada como forte ou moderada em todos os casos. Os mapas de krigagem da emissao de CO2, temperatura e umidade do solo sob manejo de cana queimada mostraram correspondencia a declividade do terreno, com as maiores emissoes e temperaturas e menores umidades localizadas na parte mais alta do local estudado. Os resultados indicaram correlacao linear entre a emissao de CO2 com a temperatura e com a umidade do solo somente no local com manejo de cana queimada, e nao no sistema de cana crua, onde a presenca de palhada na superficie certamente impede a acao direta da radiacao solar e o escoamento de chuvas.Abstract: The characterization of spatial variability in agricultural soils is an important task, because added to the pedological aspects the soil management also influences such variability. In this work the spatial variability structure of a bare Dark Red Latosol CO2 emission, temperature and moisture were determined in three locations used with sugar cane crop culture, submitted to slash and burn or no till management systems in northeastern of Sao Paulo State. The highest emissions were observed in the slash and burn plot, with mean value of 2,05 Êmol m-2 s-1, but no spatial variability structure was seen for the CO2 emission in this plot. The variability models were exponential, spherical and gaussian, being the spatial dependence classified as strong and moderate in all the cases. In the slash and burn system, the kriging maps of soil CO2 emission, temperature and moisture had shown similarities to the land declivity, with the higher emissions and temperatures and the lower moisture values located in the highest parts of the studied place. The results indicated linear correlation between soil emission with temperature and moisture only in the slash and burn plot, and not in the no-till plots where crop residues were left in soil surface and certainly modified the direct action of the solar radiation and the rain draining.

Numa área total de 200 ha, instalou-se uma malha contendo 623 pontos espaçados por uma distância de 50 metros a fim de analisar a variabilidade espacial dos atributos granulométricos e químicos do solo, e a qualidade da matéria-prima (ART - açúcares redutores totais). Nessa mesma área, foi confeccionada outra malha contendo 188 pontos espaçados por uma distância de 150 metros para análise espacial da espessura do horizonte A + E. Amostras de solos foram coletadas em todos os pontos da malha, na profundidade 0,0-0,2 metro, e análises granulométricas, químicas e de qualidade foram feitas em laboratórios. Calculou-se a estatística descritiva, e a dependência espacial entre as amostras foi determinada utilizando-se semivariogramas. Mapas de krigagem foram confeccionados para os atributos estudados. Os resultados mostraram que a utilização da agricultura de precisão e modelo matemático é a forma mais eficaz na redução de custos para aplicação de adubos. Nessas condições, a pedoforma côncava necessitou de 12% a menos de fertilizantes quando comparada com a pedoforma convexa. Esses resultados corroboram a maior fertilidade da área côncava, que também possui menor taxa de erosão e maior espessura do horizonte A + E. Ressalta-se que a modelagem matemática apresenta índices para a redução de custos. Com isso, o uso de técnicas de agricultura de precisão poderá, ao longo dos anos, trazer ganhos significativos nos sistemas de produção, pois este identifica zonas específicas de manejo.Abstract: The aim of this work was to apply precision agriculture and mathematical models in order to reduce the fertilization cost of a red-yellow Argissol cultivated with sugar cane in different pedoforms (concave, C + P +, and convex, CP-) located in the region of Catanduva (SP) . A grid having 623 points was installed in an area of 200 ha, whith points spaced by 50 meters, in order to analyze the spatial variability of the texture parameters, soil fertility and amount of raw material (TRS-total reducing sugars). In the same area another grid having 188 points was installed, with minumum distance of 150 meters, in order to provide the spatial analysis of the A+E soil horizon thicknesses. Soil samples were collected in all grid points in the depth of 0,0-0,2 meters. They were submitted to texture, fertility and quality analyzes in a laboratory. Descriptive statistics was calculated and spatial dependence of samples determined by using semivariograms. Maps of kriging were made for all the studied attributes. Results showed that the use of precision agriculture coupled with mathematical modelling is the most effective way to reduce costs for fertilizers application. The concave pedoform needed 12% less fertilizer when compared to the convex pedoform. These results are in accordance with the higher fertility of concave pedoform that has also lower erosion rates and higher horizon thickness. Another result obtained from the mathematical modeling is the derivation of specific indexes for cost reduction. We believe that the application of precision agriculture over the next years could bring significant gains in production, as this technique identifies areas demanding specific management.

Resumo: Em sistema de integração lavoura-pecuária, os diversos cultivos em sistema plantio direto alteram os atributos do solo, refletindo na produtividade e na composição do vegetal. O objetivo foi selecionar entre os atributos do solo aqueles que melhor expliquem a variabilidade da produtividade e teor de proteína da Brachiaria brizantha. Foram analisadas as correlações lineares e espaciais entre as produtividades de massa fresca (MF) e massa seca (MS) e teor de proteína bruta (PB) da Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu e de alguns atributos físicos e químicos de um Latossolo Vermelho Distroférrico, em três profundidades (0,00- 0,10m; 0,10-0,20m; 0,20-0,30 m). Para tanto, foi instalada a malha geoestatística para a coleta das informações, contendo 124 pontos amostrais, numa área de 4000 m2. A produtividade de forragem e o teor de proteína bruta não variaram aleatoriamente, e apresentaram alcances da dependência espacial entre 41,1 e 63,1 m. A densidade da partícula na primeira camada (DP1), a densidade do solo em todas as camadas (DS1, DS2 e DS3), a macroporosidade nas primeiras camadas (MA1 e MA2), a microporosidade em todas as camadas (MI1, MI2 e MI3), a porosidade total determinada em todas as camadas (PTd1, PTd2 e PTd3), o teor de fósforo nas últimas camadas (#P2 e P3), a resistência mecânica à penetração na última camada (RP3), a umidade volumétrica nas primeiras camadas (UV1 e UV2), o pH na primeira camada (pH1), o teor de matéria orgânica em todas as camadas (MO1, MO2 e #MO3), também apresentaram dependência espacial com alcances variando entre 6,4 e 73,5 m. A análise das correlações lineares simples de atributos da planta versus do solo revelou que com o aumento da RP, na camada de 0,10-0,30 m, correspondeu à mais baixa produção de MS, entretanto, com o aumento do teor de P em profundidade ocorreu aumento...

Abstract: In crop-livestock integration the several crops in no tillage system interfere on the attributes of soil, altering the productivity and vegetable composition. Therefore, the objective this study was to select among the researched attributes of the soil those that best explain the variability of the productivity and crude protein content of the Brachiaria brizantha. The linear and space correlations were analyzed between the productivity of fresh mass (MF), dry mass (MS) and crude protein (PB) of the Brachiaria brizantha and of some attributes of a Dystroferric Red Latosol (Oxisol), in three depths (0.0-0.10; 0.10-0.20; 0.20-0.30 m). A geostatic grid was installed for collecting data, containing 124 points in an area of 4,000 m2. The attributes of the plant did not vary randomizing with reaches of the space dependence between 41.1 and 63,1 m. To soil attributes there was space dependence (DP1, DS1, DS2, DS3, MA1, MA2, MI1, MI2, MI3, PTd1, PTd2, PTd3, #P2, P3, RP3, UV1, UV2, pH1, MO1, MO2 and #MO3), with reaches varying between 6,4 and 73.5 m. For simple linear correlations analysis with the increase of RP3 there was reduction of the MS, and with increasing content of P in depth was increased dry mass of Brachiaria brizantha. Already for the space correlations, between the attributes of the plant and soil there were positive and negative interactions between cause and effect, and PTd3 behaved as an appreciable indicator of the physical quality of the soil for the estimate of MS of the Brachiaria brizantha.

Resumo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a variabilidade espacial da fertilidade e de propriedades físicas do solo, em área irrigada sob sistema de pivô central cultivado com culturas anuais em plantio direto, com o intuito de verificar as conseqüências do uso intensivo do solo com irrigação, buscar soluções para melhor utilização de insumos e da água de irrigação, e subsidiar o mapeamento em diferentes zonas de manejo. O estudo foi realizado no município de Colômbia (SP), num pivô central de 65ha, cujas coordenadas geográficas são: latitude 20º1609-S e longitude 48º4043-W, em LATOSSOLO VERMELHO Distrófico, textura média. As amostras de solos georreferenciadas foram coletadas em duas profundidades (0-0,2 e 0,2-0,4m) e analisadas quanto ao pH em CaCl2, H + Al, matéria orgânica, Presina, cálcio, magnésio e potássio, e micronutrientes: boro, cobre, ferro, enxofre, manganês e zinco; sendo calculados: soma de bases (SB), CTC, V%. Foram realizadas também análises de granulometria e densidade de partículas. Nas profundidades de 0-0,05 e 0,20-0,25m analisou-se: densidade do solo, porosidade total, micro e macroporosidade; sendo a umidade atual realizada somente na profundidade de 0-0,05m. A análise da dependência espacial foi realizada por meio do ajuste dos dados ao variograma experimental e da interpolação de dados através da krigagem ordinária, visando definir o padrão espacial das variáveis estudadas. Com base nos mapas obtidos foram estabelecidas zonas de manejo da fertilidade do solo e dos parâmetros físico-hídricos para manejo da irrigação. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, verificou-se que mesmo em área restrita como a do pivô central, ocorre variabilidade espacial tanto das características químicas quanto físicas.

Abstract: The aim of this work was to determine the spatial variability of fertility and physical properties of the soil, in an irrigated area under central pivot system cultivated with annual cultures in no tillage system, to verify which are the possible influences that the intensive soil use with irrigation causes, to looking for solutions to improve the input and the irrigation water use, and to enhanced the plotting in different control zones. The study was accomplished in Colombia's Municipal district (SP), with geographical coordinates: latitude 20º1609-S and longitude 48º4043-W, in a loamy dystrophic Red Latosol. The georeferencing soil samples were collected at two depths (0- 0.20 and 0.20-0.40 m) and were analyzed by pH (CaCl2), H + Al, MO-organic matter, Presin, Ca, Mg, K, SB, CTC, V%, B, Cu, Fe, S, Mn, and Zn. Were determined granulometry, soil density and particles density, total porosity, micro and macroporosity. The spatial analysis dependence was realized through the data adjustment to experimental variogram and ordinary kriging interpolation, aiming to define the standard space of the studied variables. Based in this maps, were established soil fertility handling control zones and of the physics parameters for irrigation handling. Using obtained results, it is possible to conclude that: even in a restricted area as the central pivot occurs spatial variability as much the chemical how much the physical characteristics; the chemical and physical attributes of the soil presented strong spatial dependence; the spatial dependence of the chemical attributes varied from 86 to 700m superficially and from 113 to 533m subsuperficially, to concluding itself that in the fertility handling it should considering the distance from 86m; the spatial dependence of the physical attributes varied from 207 to 714m, concluding itself that in the soil physical variables handling...

Resumo: A cultura da soja é um dos mais importantes produtos agrícolas do país. O sistema de produção de soja predominante utiliza como forma de preparo do solo o uso de arados e grades, caracterizado pela intensa mobilização do solo podendo causar danos ambientais e degradação do solo. Como alternativa para solucionar esses problemas, indica-se a mínima mobilização do solo, mantendo resíduos vegetais na superfície do solo, favorecendo sua conservação. Com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho agronômico de cultivares de soja recomendadas para o Estado de São Paulo em diferentes sistemas de preparo do solo, desenvolveu-se o presente trabalho,instalado e conduzido em campo experimental na Fazenda Experimental Lageado da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas da UNESP, Campus de Botucatu. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso com parcelas subdivididas com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos resultaram da combinação de três sistemas de preparo do solo e dez cultivares de soja totalizando trinta tratamentos. Os três sistemas de preparo do solo foram: PR- preparo reduzido com escarificador, PC- preparo convencional com grade aradora e niveladora e PD- plantio direto sob vegetação de triticale dessecada com herbicida, foram instalados nas parcelas e as variedades de soja nas subparcelas. Os cultivares de soja foram: C1- IAC 18, C2- FT Abyara, C3- IAS 5, C4- Embrapa 45, C5- IAC 8.2, C6- FT Cometa, C7- Embrapa 133, C8- M.Soy 7501, C9- IAC 22 e C10- Engopa 315. Os resultados demonstram que os sistemas de preparo do solo não influenciaram: altura de inserção da primeira vagem, número de vagens, população inicial e final de plantas, número de grãos por vagem e peso de mil grãos e produtividade, influenciando apenas a altura de plantas.
Abstract: The soybean is the most important agricultural product of the country. The tillage system that predominates in this crop is the conventional tillage with plowing or heavy harrowing and the leveling harrowing characterized by intense mobilization of the soil causing damages to the environment and soil degradation. As an alternative to solve these problems a minimum or no soil mobilization is suggested maintaining vegetable residues in the surface on behalf of the soil conservation. In the seeds market there are lots of soybean cultivares regarding morphologic, physiologic and productivity characteristics. The present work was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the behavior of the soybean cultivares in different soil management systems recommended to the state of São Paulo. The experiment was installed and conducted in the Experimental Farm Lageado in the College of Agricultural Sciences, UNESP, Botucatu Campus. The experimental delineation utilized was the random block with subdivided plots in four replicates. The treatments were combination of three soil management systems and ten cultivares of soybean. The three management systems were: PC- conventional tillage with heavy harrowing and leveling; PR- reduce tillage with moulboard and PD- no tillage in the vegetation dried with herbicid were installed in the plots, the ten cultivares of the soybean were: C1- IAC 18, C2- FT Abyara, C3- IAS 5, C4- Embrapa 45, C5- IAC 8.2, C6- FT Cometa, C7- Embrapa 133, C8- M.Soy 7501, C9- IAC 22 e C10- Engopa 315 were installed in the subplots. The results demonstrated that the soil management practies did not influence the productivity, height of insert of the first shell, number of shells, initial and final population of plants, number of grain by shell and weight of one thousand grains, influenced only by the height of the plants.

Abstract: In order to discriminate ARGISSOLOS and to evaluate aggregates stability by dry and humid ways under different use and management systems, it was studied soil profiles under agricultural and pasture for more than twelve five years on the following system: six years with annual crop rotation in areas that had been pasture for the same time period and forest, for comparison purposes. This study was done in a agricultural farm in the Anhumas county, São Paulo state, Brazil, where the predominant soil class - ARGISSOLO - are representative of the region. Stages to achieve the objectives: a) not deformed and deformed samples collection to perform chemical and physical analysis; b) determination of the aggregate percentage by dry and humid ways; c) computation of the weighted mean diameter of the aggregates (WMDA); d) soils classification; e) statistical analysis: variance analysis and Tuckey's test for average, at 5 % of probability. Main conclusions: soil classification; the organic matter content of the A horizon of the soil under forest is 64 % more than the soil under pasture e 79 % more than the soil under annual crop; the flocculation degree and amount of the clay fraction of this same horizon is 31 % more than the soil under pasture e 39 % more than the soil under annual crop; the weighted mean diameter of the aggregates obtained by dry (D) and (H) humid ways of the A horizon and its mean value for the soils decrease in the following sequence: PVAd - forest > PVe - pasture > PVd - annual culture, respectively, with the following values: 1.33560 and 1.445496 (D), 2.81114 and 2.351380 (H); 0.66748 and 1.011830 (D), 2.79642 and 1.624250 (H); 0.32468 and 0.993775 (D), 1.25808 and 0.983135 mm (H); the weighted mean diameters of the aggregates of the A horizon - obtained by dry (D) and humid (H) ways - decreased 50 % and 1 % in the soil under pasture...

Resumo: O milho é o principal cereal produzido no Brasil e entre os vários fatores que causam a baixa produtividade, o manejo incorreto do nitrogênio se destaca. Objetivou-se com este estudo, avaliar a eficiência das plantas de cobertura em consorciação com milho na produção de fitomassa e fornecimento de N e por objetivos específicos de: i ) verificar o efeito das plantas de cobertura nas propriedades físicas e químicas do solo; ii) verificar o efeito das plantas de cobertura na produtividade do milho; iii) verificar as melhores doses de N dentro da consorciação de plantas de cobertura com o milho. Para tanto, foi realizado um experimento no município de Ituverava-SP, no Sitio Córrego das Pedras, em Latossolo Vermelho distróferrico típico, textura argilosa para o ano agrícola de 2007/2008 e 2008/2009. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados com parcelas sub-subdivididas e quatro repetições. As plantas de cobertura utilizadas foram: braquiária, calopogônio e estilosante do campo grande e as doses de N: N0=0; N1=60; N2=120; N3=180 kg de N/ha. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas para a densidade, porosidade, microporosidade e macroporosidade entre plantas de cobertura e profundidade. Não houve diferença significativa para diâmetro médio geométrico e diâmetro médio ponderado. Não foram observados diferença significativa entre plantas de cobertura e doses de N. Foram observadas diferenças significativas de produtividade entre as plantas de cobertura, destacando-se o estilosante do campo grande com maior produtividade, seguido da calopogônio e braquiária safra 2007/08 e estilosante do campo grande, braquiára e calopogônio safra 2008/09. Para dose de N, foi observado aumento de produtividade para ambas as safras, destacando-se a dose N3. Observou-se incremento na produção de um ano para outro
Abstract: Corn is the main cereal produced in Brazil and among the several factors that cause low productivity, it is possible to detach the incorrect management of the nitrogen. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of cover crops intercropped with corn on the production of the phytomass and the providing of N and for specific aims of: i) checking the effect of cover crops on physical and chemical properties of the soil; ii) checking the effect of cover crops on the corn productivity; iii) verifying the best N rates for the intercropping of cover crops and corn. For such reason, an experiment was conducted in Ituverava - SP, at Córrego das Pedras Farm, at a typical Red Oxisol, clay texture for the agricultural year of 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. The experimental design was made in randomized blocks with split plots and four replications. The cover crops used were: Brachiaria brizantha, Calopogonium mucunoides Desv and Stylosanthes capitata and S. macrocephala under the rates of N: N0=0; N1=60; N2=120; N3=180 kg of N/ha. It was not possible to notice significant differences for density, porosity, microporosity and macroporosity among the cover crops and depth. There was no significant difference for the geometric mean diameter and for the average diameter. Significant differences were not noticed among the cover crops and N rates. It was possible to notice significant differences on the productivity among the cover crops, highlighting the Stylosanthes as a cover crop with a higher corn yield, followed by Calopogonium mucunoides Desv and Brachiaria brizantha, harvest 2007/08 and Stylosanthes capitata and S. macrocephala, Brachiaria brizantha and Calopogonium mucunoides Desv, harvest 2008/09. Concerning the N rate, it was possible to notice an increase for both harvests, highlighting the N3 rate. It was possible to observe an increase on production from one year to the other

Resumo: Neste trabalho, foram avaliados aspectos diversos da emissão de CO2 (FCO2) em um Latossolo Vermelho em áreas de cana-de-açúcar sobre os sistemas de manejo de cana queimada (CQ) e cana crua (CC), no nordeste do Estado de São Paulo. No experimento 1 (ano de 2007), a média da FCO2 foi 39% superior na área de CQ (2,87 μmol m-2 s-1) quando compara à CC (2,06 μmol m-2 s-1) ao longo de um período de 70 dias de avaliação. Os modelos ajustados aos semivariogramas experimentais de FCO2 foram, na sua maioria, exponenciais em ambas as áreas. Os mapas de emissão foram homogêneos após um período de seca. O teor de matéria orgânica do solo e o estoque de carbono do solo (0-0,25 m) foram 13 e 20%, respectivamente, superiores em CQ quando comparados à CC. O grau de humificação da matéria orgânica do solo e a sua interação com a densidade do solo foi um importante fator, não somente na diferenciação da emissão de CO2 entre os diferentes sistemas de manejo. No experimento 2 (ano de 2008), foi conduzida a caracterização anisotrópica das variáveis estudadas por meio da dimensão fractal (DF), para diferentes direções (0o, 45o, 90o e 135o) em relação às linhas de plantio (0o). A propriedade porosidade livre de água (PLA) foi um dos principais fatores relacionados à variabilidade espacial de FCO2, independentemente das direções. Os valores de DF foram significativamente inferiores no sentido de plantio da cultura da cana-de-açúcar, indicando, além de anisotropia dessa propriedade, maior homogeneidade de FCO2 na direção de 0o. A PLA mostrou ser uma importante propriedade na compreensão da variabilidade espaçotemporal de FCO2, especialmente nas áreas de cana queimadaAbstract: In this work was studied various aspects of soil CO2 emission (FCO2) of a bare Dark Red Latosol in sugarcane areas submitted to burned (B) and green (G) management systems in northeastern of São Paulo State. In the experiment 1 (year 2007), mean FCO2 emission was 39% higher in the B plot (2.87 μmol m-2 s-1) when compared to the G plot (2.06 μmol m-2 s-1) throughout the 70-day period after harvest. FCO2 Semivariogram models were mostly exponential in both areas. The emission maps are clearly more homogeneous after a drought period in both sites. Organic matter content and carbon stock (0-25 cm) were 13% and 20% higher in B, respectively, when compared to G. Regression analysis indicates that the humification index of soil organic matter, and its interaction with soil bulk density, is an important factor not just to differentiate emissions in each plot. In the experiment 2 (2008) the anisotropic characterization of the studied variables, was performed by deriving the fractal dimension (DF) calculated for different directions (0o, 45o, 90o and 135o) in relation to the crop line (0o). The air-filled pore space (AFPS) was the main factor affecting the spatial variability of FCO2 in all directions. The FCO2 DF values were significantly lower in the direction of planting of sugarcane crop, indicating anisotropy of this property and greater homogeneity in this direction. The AFPS was an important property in understanding the spatiotemporal variability of FCO2, especially in the areas submitted to burn

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAgricultural lands make up approximately 37% of the global land surface, and agriculture is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Those GHGs are responsible for the majority of the anthropogenic global warming effect. Agricultural GHG emissions are associated with agricultural soil management (e.g. tillage), use of both synthetic and organic fertilisers, livestock management, burning of fossil fuel for agricultural operations, and burning of agricultural residues and land use change. When natural ecosystems such as grasslands are converted to agricultural production, 20–40% of the soil organic carbon (SOC) is lost over time, following cultivation. We thus need to develop management practices that can maintain or even increase SOCstorage in and reduce GHG emissions from agricultural ecosystems. We need to design systematic approaches and agricultural strategies that can ensure sustainable food production under predicted climate change scenarios, approaches that are being called climate‐smart agriculture (CSA). Climate‐smart agricultural management practices, including conservation tillage, use of cover crops and biochar application to agricultural fields, and strategic application of synthetic and organic fertilisers have been considered a way to reduce GHG emission from agriculture. Agricultural management practices can be improved to decreasing disturbance to the soil by decreasing the frequency and extent of cultivation as a way to minimise soil C loss and/or to increase soil C storage. Fertiliser nitrogen (N) use efficiency can be improved to reduce fertilizer N application and N loss. Management measures can also be taken to minimise agricultural biomass burning. This chapter reviews the current literature on CSA practices that are available to reduce GHG emissions and increase soil Csequestration and develops a guideline on best management practices to reduce GHG emissions, increase C sequestration, and enhance crop productivity in agricultural production systems.

AbstractThis introductory chapter explains why organic waste composting is considered as one of the best examples to demonstrate the benefits of nexus thinking. Current literature is rich with information covering various aspects of composting process. However, it mainly represents two distinct fields: waste from the management point of view and soil/agriculture from the nutrient recycling point of view. It is hard to find information on how these two fields can benefit from each other, except for a few examples found within large agricultural fields/businesses. A policy/institutional framework that supports a broader integration of management of such resources is lacking: a structure that goes beyond the typical municipal or ministerial boundaries. There is a clear need to address this gap, and nexus thinking can help immensely close the gap by facilitating the mindset needed for policy integration. Good intention of being sustainable is not enough if there is no comprehensive plan to find a stable market for the compost as a product. Therefore, the chapter also discusses the strong need to have a good business case for composting projects. Composting can also support achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations. While directly supporting SDG 2 (Zero hunger), SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production), and SDG 13 (Climate action), enhanced composting practices may also assist us reach several other targets specified in other SDGs. While encouraging waste composting as a sustainable method of waste and soil management, we should also be cautious about the possible adverse effects compost can have on the environment and public health, especially due to some non-traditional raw materials that we use nowadays such as wastewater sludge and farm manure. Towards the end, we urge for the improvement of the entire chain ranging from waste generation to waste collection/separation to compost formation and, finally, application to soil to ensure society receives the maximum benefit from composting.

The shallow aquifer near the old Cunha Baixa uranium mine (Viseu, Portugal) was contaminated by acid mine drainage. Concentration of radionuclides in water from irrigation wells and in the topsoil layer of the agriculture fields nearby display enhanced concentrations of uranium, radium and polonium. Two types of agriculture land in this area were selected, one with enhanced and another with low uranium concentrations, for controlled growth of lettuce and potatoes. Plants were grown in replicate portions of land (two plots) in each soil type and were periodically irrigated with water from wells. In each soil, one plot was irrigated with water containing low concentration of dissolved uranium and the other plot with water containing enhanced concentration of dissolved uranium. At the end of the growth season, plants were harvested and analysed, along with soil and irrigation water samples. Results show the accumulation of radionuclides in edible parts of plants, specially in the field plots with higher radionuclide concentrations in soil. Radionuclides in irrigation water contributed less to the radioactivity accumulated in plants than radionuclides from soils.

Full textAbstract:
On both U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and U.S. Department of Defense sites in the southwestern United States (U.S.), significant areas of surface soils are contaminated with radionuclides from atmospheric nuclear testing, and with depleted uranium, primarily from military training. At DOE sites in Nevada, the proposed regulatory closure strategy for most sites is to leave contaminants in place with administrative controls and periodic monitoring. Closure-in-place is considered an acceptable strategy because the contaminated sites exist on access-restricted facilities, decreasing the potential risk to public receptor, the high cost and feasibility of excavating contaminated soils over large areas, and the environmental impacts of excavating desert soils that recover very slowly from disturbance. The largest of the contaminated sites on the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada covers over 1,200 hectares. However, a factor that has not been fully investigated in the long-term stewardship of these sites is the potential effects of fires. Because of the long half-lives of some of the contaminants (e.g., 24,100 years for 239Pu) and changes in land-cover and climatic factors that are increasing the frequency of fires throughout the western U.S., it should be assumed that all of these sites will eventually burn, possibly multiple times, during the timeframe when they still pose a risk. Two primary factors are contributing to increased fire frequency. The first is the spread of invasive grasses, particularly cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum and Bromus rubens), which have out-competed native annuals and invaded interspaces between shrubs, allowing fires to burn easier. The second is a sharp increase in fire frequency and size throughout the western U.S. beginning in the mid-1980s. This second factor appears to correlate with an increase in average spring and summer temperatures, which may be contributing to earlier loss of soil moisture and longer periods of dry plant biomass (particularly from annual plants). The potential risk to site workers from convective heat dispersion of radionuclide contaminants is an immediate concern during a fire. Long-term, post-fire concerns include potential changes in windblown suspension properties of contaminated soil particles after fires because of loss of vegetation cover and changes in soil properties, and soil erosion from surface water runoff and fluvial processes.

Full textAbstract:
Geostatistics meets a growing interest for the remediation forecast of potentially contaminated sites, by providing adapted methods to perform both chemical and radiological pollution mapping, to estimate contaminated volumes, potentially integrating auxiliary information, and to set up adaptive sampling strategies. As part of demonstration studies carried out for GeoSiPol (Geostatistics for Polluted Sites), geostatistics has been applied for the detailed diagnosis of a former oil depot in France. The ability within the geostatistical framework to generate pessimistic / probable / optimistic scenarios for the contaminated volumes allows a quantification of the risks associated to the remediation process: e.g. the financial risk to excavate clean soils, the sanitary risk to leave contaminated soils in place. After a first mapping, an iterative approach leads to collect additional samples in areas previously identified as highly uncertain. Estimated volumes are then updated and compared to the volumes actually excavated. This benchmarking therefore provides a practical feedback on the performance of the geostatistical methodology.

Full textAbstract:
In 2000, Nuvia Limited was contracted to carry out the decommissioning of a former Active Handling Building A59 on the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) site at Winfrith in the UK. This is in support of UKAEA’s mission, which is to carry out environmental restoration of its nuclear sites and to put them to alternative uses wherever possible. Recently UKAEA has been reorganised and responsibility for the site lies with Research Sites Restoration Limited (RSRL) with funding provided by the National Decommissioning Authority (NDA). Following major decommissioning operations the main containment building structure and the two suites of concrete shielded caves were demolished between June 2006 and March 2007 leaving just the base slab for final removal and the site remediation operations undertaken. The base slab contained a quantity of encast, internally contaminated items including more than 100 steel mortuary tubes set up to 6.6m deep into the slab. At the outset it was suspected that some leakage of radioactive contamination had occurred into the ground although the precise location/s of the leakage was unknown. As a result the scope of the work required the underlying soil to be carefully monitored for the presence of radioactive contamination and, if detected, its remediation to an end state suitable for unrestricted use without planning or nuclear regulatory controls. These latter operations form the basis of this paper, which reviews some of the significant tasks undertaken during the process and describes the waste monitoring procedures utilised on the concrete and soil debris. Extensive dewatering was required to support the removal of the deeper mortuary tubes and the impact this had upon the operations and associated excavations will be described. Further, the demolition of an external active effluent tank and excavation and monitoring of the surrounding soils due to the presence of significant local contamination will be a key feature of the paper. A number of significant problems that were encountered during the operations will also be identified with a narrative about how these arose and were subsequently overcome. The use of Nuvia’s Groundhog™ system, a gamma radiation ground surveying and global positioning system, together with a well defined sampling grid enabled the footprint of the base slab to be surveyed and subsequently remediated to an agreed standard by the end of 2008 to allow infilling with non-calcareous soil ahead of final landscaping as the last step for completion of the project. One area of particular significance to the remediation process has been the use of office-based contaminated land assessment tools including ReCLAIM, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet based tool used to assess current and future impacts of radiological contamination at nuclear licensed sites. This tool is particularly recommended to others working on similar projects.

Full textAbstract:
Pipe-in-Pipe (PIP) arrangements for offshore pipelines have become a viable approach to handling High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) conditions in deepwater. However, using sleepers to control the buckle location and stresses (thermal buckle management) in this type of pipeline is facing challenges regarding free spanning and sleeper embedment. A sleeper design should ensure adequate vertical upset of the pipeline, thus helping buckling of the pipeline as part of the thermal management plan. However, this approach generates free spans in the pipeline, which could become susceptible to Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) if these free spans prove excessive. Further, PIP pipelines are usually heavy and may raise additional challenges in very soft soils, especially given the great uncertainty in predicted penetrations provided by currently available models. This paper presents an integrated approach to designing sleepers and the approach is applicable to both PIP and single pipes. It takes into account the interaction between pipeline structural integrity and sleeper embedment, thus determining the required sleeper general sizing and the possibility of the need for mudmats or mattresses. Finite element analysis of both the pipeline and sleepers is used in the presented approach. During the FEA modeling, importance is addressed for the model length, element size, concrete induced Stress Concentration Factor (SCF) at the field joints for single pipes, etc. In addition, the analysis scenarios are addressed to ensure the results from all the necessary cases are accurately identified. The sleeper design in the integrated approach details the appropriate selection of sleeper locations to release excessive axial loads as well as to ensure buckling stability. During the selection, some factors contributing to the buckling analysis results are discussed and these factors include route bends, pipe ovality, residual stress/strain, and rogue buckles. Different sleeper sizes are assessed with respect to the pipeline structural integrity (e.g., stresses and strains due to vertical bending, lateral buckling and VIV), coupled with an assessment of lost height due to sleeper penetration in the soil. Results indicate that the sleeper size should be maintained within a certain range to ensure proper function of the sleeper inducing lateral buckling of the pipeline, while reducing the possibility of excessive VIV. In some cases, this may require the help of mudmats or mattresses to support the sleeper. Results also show that the sleeper width should be selected such that after buckling, the pipeline would not fall off either end of the sleeper. The ULS check and fatigue assessment due to VIV/direct wave loading are also discussed for wave/current data and wave load application to interacting spans. To ensure that conservative estimates of the fatigue life, sensitivity studies are performed to account for the uncertainty due to soil properties and concrete conditions (intact or damaged). The tolerance for each item varies from case to case, thereby varying the inputs. This integrated design approach combines pipeline lateral buckling and span analyses together with the analysis of sleeper penetration in the soil. The proposed integrated analysis would ensure that the designed sleeper would not cause excessive VIV/direct wave load to the pipeline and that thermal stresses and buckling of the pipeline are properly managed.

Full textAbstract:
Established in the 1930s, the Northern Transportation Route (NTR) served to transport pitchblende ore 2,200 km from the Port Radium Mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories to Fort McMurray in Alberta. From there, the ore was shipped 3,000 km by rail to the Town of Port Hope, Ontario, where it was refined for its radium content and used for medical purposes. Later, transport and refinement focussed on uranium. The corridor of lakes, rivers, portages and roads that made up the NTR included a number of transfer points, where ore was unloaded and transferred to other barges or trucks. Ore was occasionally spilled during these transfer operations and, in some cases, subsequently distributed over larger areas as properties were re-developed or modified. In addition, relatively small volumes of ore were sometimes transported by air to the south. Since 1991, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO), working with communities and its consulting contractors, has conducted surveys to identify and characterize spill sites along the NTR where soils exhibit elevated concentrations of uranium, radium and/or arsenic. In addition to significant areas of impact in Fort McMurray, contamination along the NTR was centred in the Sahtu region near Great Bear Lake and along the southern part of the Slave River. Early radiological investigations found contaminated buildings and soil and occasionally discrete pieces of pitchblende ore at many transfer points and storage areas along the NTR. Where possible, survey work was undertaken in conjunction with property redevelopment activity requiring the relocation of impacted soils (e.g., at Tulita, Fort Smith, Hay River, and Fort McMurray). When feasible to consolidate contaminated material locally, it was placed into Long Term Management Facilities developed to manage and monitor the materials over extended timelines. Radiological activity generated by these engineered facilities are generally below thresholds established by Canadian regulators, meaning they are straightforward to maintain, with minor environmental and community impacts. Securing community acceptance for these facilities is critical, and represents the predominant development component of plans for managing ore-impacted soils. In those circumstances where local consolidation is not achievable, materials have been relocated to disposal facilities outside of the region. The LLRWMO is continuing a program of public consultation, technical evaluation and environmental assessment to develop management plans for the remaining ore-impacted sites on the NTR. This paper will highlight current activities and approaches applied for the responsible management of uranium and radium mining legacies.

Full textAbstract:
An innovative approach to integrate the activities of a decommissioning and deactivation program (D&D) with a soil-groundwater clean up program has had significant positive results saving both money and time at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site. The accomplishments that have been achieved by the combining the two programs have been remarkable including significant cost savings, economies of scale for sampling and document generation, and alignment of common objectives. Because of the coordination of both activities area-wide “end states” can be formulated and be consistent with the customers’ cleanup goals and federal regulations. This coordinates and aligns both the environmental clean up and D&D objectives because each must be addressed simultaneously and comprehensively. In this respect, resources from both organizations can be pooled to take advantage of the strengths of each. The new approach allows more efficient use of lean financial resources and optimizes workforce activities to attain the common objectives while being more cost effective, more protective of the environment, and optimizing the use existing resources.

Full textAbstract:
Soil and groundwater as the leachate may contaminate surrounding watersheds, thus different pollutants from closed dumps and landfills pose significant risks to human health and ecology. Pollution may lead to soil and water degradation however it might be diminished through sustainable dump site closure projects and processual management. Several decades of clays and clay minerals studies lead to modified clay composites concept that is one of the potential promising solutions for building the landfill covering material and serve as capping biocover layer at the same time. As humic substances are constituents of soil organic matter, pollutants can be sorbed on the surfaces of complex molecules. This kind of humic acid-clay mineral composite materials thus might become as low cost building material component - covering material. Construction of such layer are to be performed as a combination of clay-humic composites and landfill mined fine fraction of waste with small amendment of natural soil. Several hypotheses that are already proven has to be mentioned: a) Clay minerals produce composites with humic substances; 2) Clay-humic complexes reduce through sorption both organic and inorganic pollutants; 3) Low risk of toxic byproducts from landfill mined waste fine fraction can be the problem; 4) Such composites mostly would trap toxic contaminants (e.g., pharmaceuticals) found in reworked fine fraction of waste. The aim of the work is to provide alternative solution for landfill closure by giving theoretical considerations from multidisciplinary knowledge of environmental engineering, chemistry and waste management.

Full textAbstract:
The U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM), Office of Soil and Groundwater (EM-12), is supporting development of the Advanced Simulation Capability for Environmental Management (ASCEM). ASCEM is a state-of-the-art scientific tool and approach that is currently aimed at understanding and predicting contaminant fate and transport in natural and engineered systems. ASCEM is a modular and open source high-performance computing tool. It will be used to facilitate integrated approaches to modeling and site characterization, and provide robust and standardized assessments of performance and risk for EM cleanup and closure activities. The ASCEM project continues to make significant progress in development of capabilities, with current emphasis on integration of capabilities in FY12. Capability development is occurring for both the Platform and Integrated Toolsets and High-Performance Computing (HPC) multiprocess simulator. The Platform capabilities provide the user interface and tools for end-to-end model development, starting with definition of the conceptual model, management of data for model input, model calibration and uncertainty analysis, and processing of model output, including visualization. The HPC capabilities target increased functionality of process model representations, toolsets for interaction with Platform, and verification and model confidence testing. The integration of the Platform and HPC capabilities were tested and evaluated for EM applications in a set of demonstrations as part of Site Applications Thrust Area activities in 2012. The current maturity of the ASCEM computational and analysis capabilities has afforded the opportunity for collaborative efforts to develop decision analysis tools to support and optimize radioactive waste disposal. Recent advances in computerized decision analysis frameworks provide the perfect opportunity to bring this capability into ASCEM. This will allow radioactive waste disposal to be evaluated based on decision needs, such as disposal, closure, and maintenance. Decision models will be used in ASCEM to identify information/data needs, and model refinements that might be necessary to effectively reduce uncertainty in waste disposal decisions. Decision analysis models start with tools for framing the problem, and continue with modeling both the science side of the problem (for example, inventories, source terms, fate and transport, receptors, risk, etc.), and the cost side of the problem, which could include costs of implementation of any action that is chosen (e.g., for disposal or closure), and the values associated with those actions. The cost side of the decision problem covers economic, environmental and societal costs, which correspond to the three pillars of sustainability (economic, social, and environmental). These tools will facilitate stakeholder driven decision analysis to support optimal sustainable solutions in ASCEM.

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to inventory, classify, and map soils and vegetation within the ecosystems of Katmai National Park and Preserve (KATM) using an ecological land survey (ELS) approach. The ecosystem classes identified in the ELS effort were mapped across the park, using an archive of Geo-graphic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) datasets pertaining to land cover, topography, surficial geology, and glacial history. The description and mapping of the landform-vegetation-soil relationships identified in the ELS work provides tools to support the design and implementation of future field- and RS-based studies, facilitates further analysis and contextualization of existing data, and will help inform natural resource management decisions. We collected information on the geomorphic, topographic, hydrologic, pedologic, and vegetation characteristics of ecosystems using a dataset of 724 field plots, of which 407 were sampled by ABR, Inc.—Environmental Research and Services (ABR) staff in 2016–2017, and 317 were from existing, ancillary datasets. ABR field plots were located along transects that were selected using a gradient-direct sampling scheme (Austin and Heligers 1989) to collect data for the range of ecological conditions present within KATM, and to provide the data needed to interpret ecosystem and soils development. The field plot dataset encompassed all of the major environmental gradients and landscape histories present in KATM. Individual state-factors (e.g., soil pH, slope aspect) and other ecosystem components (e.g., geomorphic unit, vegetation species composition and structure) were measured or categorized using standard classification systems developed for Alaska. We described and analyzed the hierarchical relationships among the ecosystem components to classify 92 Plot Ecotypes (local-scale ecosystems) that best partitioned the variation in soils, vegetation, and disturbance properties observed at the field plots. From the 92 Plot Ecotypes, we developed classifications of Map Ecotypes and Disturbance Landscapes that could be mapped across the park. Additionally, using an existing surficial geology map for KATM, we developed a map of Generalized Soil Texture by aggregating similar surficial geology classes into a reduced set of classes representing the predominant soil textures in each. We then intersected the Ecotype map with the General-ized Soil Texture Map in a GIS and aggregated combinations of Map Ecotypes with similar soils to derive and map Soil Landscapes and Soil Great Groups. The classification of Great Groups captures information on the soil as a whole, as opposed to the subgroup classification which focuses on the properties of specific horizons (Soil Survey Staff 1999). Of the 724 plots included in the Ecotype analysis, sufficient soils data for classifying soil subgroups was available for 467 plots. Soils from 8 orders of soil taxonomy were encountered during the field sampling: Alfisols (<1% of the mapped area), Andisols (3%), Entisols (45%), Gelisols (<1%), Histosols (12%), Inceptisols (22%), Mollisols (<1%), and Spodosols (16%). Within these 8 Soil Orders, field plots corresponded to a total of 74 Soil Subgroups, the most common of which were Typic Cryaquents, Typic Cryorthents, Histic Cryaquepts, Vitrandic Cryorthents, and Typic Cryofluvents.
