Abstract:
Application of manure has been used to increase the nitrogen status of many arid and semi-arid agricultural soils, however, organic nitrogen contained in animal manures must be mineralized prior to utilization by crops. Nitrogen mineralization is, like other biological processes, affected by soil water status. This can be due to the direct influence of soil moisture and/or salt interactions on the nitrogen dynamics. It is critical to understand the interactive effects of salt and water on nitrogen in soils amended with organic fertilizer. Such knowledge may be used for improving and quantifyin

Nitrogen (N) loss in the form of volatilized ammonia (NH₃) is a considerable problem when ammonium (NH₄⁺) forming fertilizers are applied to calcareous or alkaline soils.

This study was conducted to determine and compare the effectiveness of urea phosphate (UP) in reducing soil alkalinity and NH₃ loss. The volatilization of NH₃ from UP and urea (U) was studied on 3 selected soils (Hayhook SL, Laveen L and Latene L) using an aeration system. Urea phosp

Some salt tolerant species and communities occurred in fresh conditions; however, intolerant species and communities w

In a context of international reduction of greenhouse gases emissions, CCS (ce{CO2} Capture and Storage) appears as a particularly interesting midterm solution.

One of the most interesting targets for the development of this solution are the deep saline aquifers. These aquifers are geological formations containing brine whose salinity is often higher than sea water's, making it unsuitable for human consumption. However

Soil salinization is the accumulation of water-soluble salts in the soil to a level that impacts on agricultural production. Approximately 20% of the world’s cultivated land, or 6% of the world total area, is threatened by salinity. Hence, soil salinization is becoming the main challenge of the modern agriculture. Of all the cereals, wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a moderately salt-tolerant crop while barley (Hordeum vulgare) is classified as relatively salt tolerant. Within Triticum genera, durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) is less salt-tolerant than bread wheat (Triticum aestivum). Sa
