The outcomes established from previous researchers have highlighted factors such as soil erosion, landslides, agriculture activities, urbanization, and unplanned development associated with land use change have significantly influenced the river water quality in the highland areas.
The analysis of variance highlighted significant differences for most soil properties across landscape position and soil depth except for organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus.
Urban sprawl is a major challenge on the way to sustainable land use as highlighted by the International Year of Soils 2015.
In addition, the suitability of MCMCS in Bayesian probabilistic characterization of soil properties is highlighted, particularly for the cases with a limited number of test data.
Using an analytical example, an arching stress/deformation model and an empirical relationship (developed by others) relating base LTP settlement to surface settlement, the relationship between serviceability behaviour and soft soil parameters is highlighted and the conditions leading to progressive collapse in GRCSEs are described.
In the biochemical processes which occur in the soil, the Si function is highlighted because this element possesses chemical properties that can create molecules with useful biological functions.
Moreover, new phenomena occurring in the ground have been highlighted, such as cavities formation, where gas may accumulate, or also, the drying and the freezing of the soil surrounding the leak.
Even at the genus level, differences are highlighted in the bacteria distribution in plant and soil fractions and within the studied sites, particularly among Tunisia and Egypt.
The distribution of Gram-positive bacteria, Actinobacteria, and fungi highlighted community differences between and within shrub and interspace soils, while Gram-negative bacteria were common in all soils across the chronosequence.
The attack on Monday in the south-eastern town of Suruç highlighted fears about the conflict spilling on to Turkish soil.
