Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopic Approach for the Characterization of Soil Aggregate Size Distribution
Assessment of soil structure and soil aggregation remains a challenging task.
Routine methods such as dry- and wet-sieving approaches are generally time
consuming and tedious, which calls for a robust, fast, and ...
Red ferruginous soils of tropical Indian environments: A review of the pedogenic processes and its implications for edaphology
Red ferruginous (RF) soils of tropical Indian environments belong to Entisols, Inceptisols, Alfisols, Mollisols and
Ultisols soil orders. The occurrence of Ultisols alongside acidic Alfisols and Mollisols in both zeolitic ...
Tillage System Affects Soil Organic Carbon Storage and Quality in Central Morocco
Stabilizing or improving soil organic carbon content is essential for sustainable crop production under changing climate conditions.
Therefore, soil organic carbon research is gaining momentum in theMediterranean basin. ...
Soil and Water Salinity in Iraq: Preliminary Analysis of Causes, Effects and Approaches to Management
This report presents research in progress on the causes, effects, of soil and water salinity in central and southern Iraq. Its objective is to identify the best soil, agronomic, irrigation and drainage management practices ...
Carbon status and structural stability of soils from differing land use systems in the Kingdom of Tonga
Maintenance of soil carbon stocks is vital for the environment at large and for maintenance of soil
chemical, physical and biological fertility. Tonga represents a country in agricultural transition from
subsistence to ...
Innovations for sustainability and food security in arid and semiarid lands
Dryland salinity, deforestation, decreasing productivity of rangelands and reduction of soil
productivity are widespread phenomena and primary causes of desertification in the Central
Asian region. The government of ...
