Abstract:

Soil organic matter (SOM) models simplify the complex turnover dynamics of organic matter in soils. Stabilization mechanisms are currently thought to play a dominant role in SOM turnover but they are not explicitly accounted for in most SOM models. One study addresses the implementation of an approach to account for the stabilization mechanism of physical protection in the SOC model RothC using 13C abundance measurements in conjunction with soil size fractionation data. SOM models are increasingly used to support policy decisions on carbon (C) mitigation and credibility of model predictions mo

Abstract:

Egypts population was projected to increase from 20 million in the 1960s to 67 million by 2000. With this increase in the population, an increase in food production of 200% to 300% is become necessary to meet food demands. In addition to the increasing demand for food, the population increase will result in increased amounts of human wastes. This will, in tum, need to be disposed of in ways other than the traditional dumping in the nearest stream or the Nile River. It is therefore vitally important to utilize as much as possible of this human waste (biosolids) as an organic fertilizer and soil

Abstract:

<p> Adoption of nitrogen (N) management strategies to minimize gaseous N loss from agriculture while maintaining high yield production is increasingly important for an exponentially growing population. Agricultural management on poorly-drained claypan soils in the Midwestern U.S. make corn (<i> Zea mays</i> L.) production even more challenging due to the subsoil’s low permeability, which may result in wetter soil conditions and relatively larger amounts of soil N<sub>2</sub>O emissions during the growing season.

The quantity of waste generated in Libya, as in other developing countries, has been increasing dramatically for many years due to a rapid urban expansion associated with high population growth.

A high risk of groundwater contamination occurs in many water wells around the dumping sites. There is an urgent need to fmd an affordable and feasib

Road pavement design in Kurdistan is based on ASSHTO 1993.

To address this, a design procedure applicable to different material and environmental conditions was developed. The associated research consisted of a suite of laboratory experiment allied to the development of a finite element model. The laboratory work was undertaken on three types of subgrade soils found in Kurdistan to determine their permanent deformation behaviour, UCS and re

Sugarcane, as a worldwide cultivated commercial crop, has drawn a great attention towards its nitrogen (N) use efficiency as well as potential effects on associated watersheds. Particularly, there is an increasing concern about potential loss of carbon (C) and nitrogen from sugarcane fields and its environmental impacts on the Australian Great Barrier Reef catchments. Sugarcane field management practices play a vital role in refining soil C and N cycling and improving plant N use efficiency.

Gypsum rich soils are found in many parts of the world, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Most gypsum occurs in the form of evaporites, which are minerals that precipitate out of water due to a high rate of evaporation and a high mineral concentration. Gypsum rich soils make good foundation material under dry conditions but pose major engineering hazards when exposed to water. Gypsum acts as a weak cementing material and has a moderate solubility of about 2.5 g/liter.

When the first irrigation in wheat is applied early, it is usually done to bank or save water for later in the season.

Land contaminated with heavy metals such as Cd and Zn can be remediated using a number of different approaches. Many of these strategies are very expensive (e. g. removal and disposal of the soil, covering the soil with uncontaminated soil, extraction with acids or chelates) whilst others provide only short term solutions (e. g. reduction of metal bioavailability by liming or adding organic matter). An alternative approach is the use of hyperaccumulator plants to remove the heavy metals. Phytoremediation, as this process is known, is an attractive method for remediation of contaminated land si
