However, these are deterministically derived and assume a spatially homogeneous soil without any variation in properties.
Logging impacts and progressive forest degradation are identified using multi-date, contrast-enhanced Landsat and CBERS-2 (20 m spatial resolution) imagery and derived soil and vegetation fraction ratios [90].
In contrast, coarse particles [PM with aerodynamic diameter between 2.5 and 10 μm (PM10 2.5)] are primarily derived from soil and from abrasive mechanical processes in transportation and industry (U.S. EPA 2004).
We investigated how corn cob biochar contributed to changes in soil water retention, air flow by convection and diffusion, and derived soil structure indices in a tropical sandy loam.
The overall aim of this research is twofold: (1) to evaluate by reflectance spectroscopy the changes in 14 soil physical, biological, and chemical properties and their derived soil quality index (SQI) in the changed land uses; and (2) to develop a spectral soil quality index (SSQI) toward applying the technique of reflectance spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool of soil quality.
We constructed non-normalized and normalized cDNA libraries of T. salsuginea from various tissues derived from soil- and hydroponically-grown plants, including rosette and cauline leaves, roots, flowers, and siliques of plants treated with cold, drought and salt to achieve comprehensive transcriptome information.
The present study contributes to the multi-temporal analysis of soil resource depletion in the large Mediterranean urban region of Rome (central Italy) based on the integration of high-resolution building density maps (1919 2001) with a set of indicators derived from soil maps and describing soil properties and susceptibility to various degradation processes.
The objective of this study was to analyze relationships between topographical properties derived from DEM and soil distribution and to discuss their applicability in Digital Soil Mapping (DSM).
Partitioning of carbon dioxide (CO2) derived from lime and soil organic matter (SOM) was calculated by using stable isotope analysis of the CO2.
Generally, in natural ecosystems, most of the metals are present in very low concentrations and are mostly derived from rock and soil weathering (Reza and Singh [2010]; Varol and Sen [2012]).
