Our objective was, therefore, to enrich the microbial community, which also includes the degrading strain, from SMZ contaminated soil, establish it on carrier particles, introduce it to another 14C-SMZ contaminated soil, and quantify the SMZ mineralization via trapping of 14CO2.
The Hg concentrations for the water, serum-based fluid, and lung fluids leachates are generally lower than the 310 μg/g industrial screening level for inorganic Hg in soil established by the USEPA.
Concentrations of Hg for the majority of the calcine leachates obtained during the 1-h gastric leaching experiments exceeded both the residential (23 μg/g) and industrial (310 μg/g) screening level for inorganic Hg in soil established by the USEPA (46), but the industrial screening level is more applicable here, as this study was of industrial (mine) wastes, not residential soil.
This paper bases on the elasto-plasticity theory and creep theory, by simulation of the variation of water content and temperature distribution and soil property, establishes a two-dimensional model to calculate the stress and deformation of highway embankment in permafrost area.
Once the procedure for measurement of oxygen consumption in soil was established, the acute toxic effect of diverse chemicals on soil was analysed with OSM.
We assessed soil quality in global rice production areas with the Fertility Capability Soil Classification (FCC) system adjusted to match the harmonized world soil database, established by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the collapse potential of loess soil in Egypt, the factors affecting the dynamic properties of this soil and establish relationships between them.
These forage species stabilized the surface and controlled soil erosion; established quickly; and enabled a quick economic return to land owners who used the post-mining lands for hay production or livestock grazing; were inexpensive and easy to establish; and were considered as aesthetically pleasing (Boyce 1999).
It works best in the soft, fluffy soil of established garden beds.
After 4 months of the present experiment, fungal isolates survived in soil and established on the roots of pistachio.
