TL;DR: In this article, heavy metal contents in the soils in the Baoshan District of Shanghai were monitored to evaluate the risk of soil environmental quality degradation due to rapid urbanization and to reveal the ways of heavy metal accumulation in soil during rapid urban sprawl.
TL;DR: In this paper, yield and N uptake of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum mill.) and pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) crops in five successive rotations receiving two compound fertilizers (12-12-17 and 21-8-11 N-P2O5-K2O) were studied to determine 1) crop responses, 2) dynamics of NO3-N and NH4-N in different soil layers, 3) N balance and 4) system-level N efficiencies.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a "soil reservoir" concept to help control flooding of the Yangtze River Watershed, which has a large potential storage capacity and its water can be rapidly discharged into the underground water in a timely fashion.
TL;DR: In this article, a pot experiment was conducted to determine the dynamics of soil microbial biomass in a rainfed soil under wheat cultivation at the University of Arid Agriculture, Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
TL;DR: In this article, four depth treatments of subsurface drip irrigation pipes were designated as 1) at 20, 2) 30 and 3) 40 cm depths all with a drip-proof flumes underneath, and 4) at 30 cm without a dripproof flume.
TL;DR: In this article, a field investigation was conducted to determine the survival and growth rate of eucalyptus and guava (Psidium guajava L.) saplings planted in salt-affected soils.
