Abstract:

    We propose a scheme of soil-degradation zoning of Lviv Oblast, which comprehensively illuminates the problem of degradation and focuses on regional differences in the manifestation and complexity of dominant degradation processes. The highest taxonomic unit of soil-degradation zoning is the soil-degradation country, which in turn is divided into a soil-degradation zone, province, county and district. This classification is based on the landscape features of the study area, the dominant types and kinds of degradation processes. In accordance with the zoning of Lviv O

In our work, we have evaluated the available data on the individual types of soil damage, which has been processed in the Czech Republic in recent decades. The individual types of degradation (water erosion, wind erosion, soil compaction, extreme soils (clay soils), loss of organic matter, acidification, dryness impact, and intoxication) were classified in one of three groups: physical degradation, desertification and chemical degradation. Each type of degradation was assigned a specific weight reflecting the importance of this kind of soil degradation. The maps of individual areas of degradat

In this paper, we introduce the importance of Northeast China’s grain production to China, and describe the changes of sown acreage and gr

Abstract:

Pydiflumetofen is a potent fungicide that effectively inhibits pathogenic fungal growth by regulating succinate dehydrogenase activity. It effectively prevents and treats various fungal diseases, including leaf spot, powdery mildew, grey mold, bakanae, scab, and sheath blight. Pydiflumetofen’s hydrolytic and degradation properties were investigated indoors in four distinct soil types (phaeozems, lixisols, ferrosols, and plinthosols) to assess its risks in aquatic and soil environments. The effect of soil physicochemical properties and external environmental conditions on its degradation was al

Abstract:

The use of soil for the production of crop products leads to changes in the natural properties of soils and their natural state. When various situations arise, soil properties can change in different forms and with unequal degrees of severity; a process that worsens quantitative and qualitative properties is defined as soil degradation. The significant role of soil in people’s lives should serve as an incentive for its rational use and to prevent the occurrence of degradation transformations leading to a decrease in its environmental and production functions.

Triallate biodegradation is well documented and therefore used as a standard. Herbicide degradation was compared in two soils, a Cisne silt loam and a Drummer silty clay loam. Herbicide degradation in gamma-irradiated soil was compared to fresh soil.

Soil monitoring system in Slovakia is consistently running since 1993 year in 5-years repetitions. Soil monitoring network in Slovakia is constructed using ecological principle, taking into account all main soil types and subtypes, soil organic matter, climatic regions, emission regions, polluted and non-polluted regions as well as various land use. The result of soil monitoring network is 318 sites on agricultural land in Slovakia. Soil properties

Abstract:

Estrone (E1) is a female hormone present in large quantities in animal farming, which has, in recent decades, resulted in increasing water and soil pollution. Research into its behaviour in the environment has been more focused on water pollution than on soil or soil groups. Three agricultural soils from the Czech Republic—cambisol, fluvisol, and chernozem—were analyzed in a pot experiment to determine their influence on estrone transformation, with laccase, and Mn-oxidoreductases enzymes being measured for this purpose. From the initial concentration of 50 μg·kg−1 soil E1 solution, 1.36 μg·kg

Degradation of diphenamid in soil with accelerated degradation and in nontreated control soil and the involvement of soil microorganisms in these processes were investigated. Soil with accelerated degradation and mixed bacterial cultures originating from the same soil degraded diphenamid and its monodemethylated metabolite (diphen M-1) much faster than the control. The bidemethylated derivative (diphen M-2) was degraded much more slowly than diphenamid or diphen M-1. The abundance of fungi capable of degrading diphenamid was similar in the soils with and without accelerated degradation. Degrad

Reduced effectiveness of carbamothioate (thiocarbamate) herbicides in certain soils has been attributed to rapid herbicide degradation by soil microorganisms. Studies were conducted to determine if greater populations of EPTC (S-ethyl dipropyl carbamothioate)-degrading microorganisms were responsible for increased rates of degradation observed following repeated applications of EPTC to a Grenada silt loam soil. EPTC-degrading microorganism populations, measured with a14C-MPN (most-probable-number) technique, were not larger in soils with accelerated rates of EPTC degradation, and degrader popu

Sorption of phorate, as measured by the distribution coefficients (Kd), was greater for the Egmont than for the Tokomaru soil and decreased with depth for both soils.
